[I]The Syracuse offensive line has become a walking MASH unit with several players nowhere near 100%, some not even at 50%, but trying to stay on the field.

Right guard Nick Robinson tried to play against N.C.State but had to leave the game. Michael Lasker, normally a tackle, could not handle the position in his place.

Left guard Rob Trudo has been battling a lower-body injury that has been described to me as "a guy playing on one leg."

Center John Miller has been hampered by nagging injuries, which has put backup Jason Emerich into action at center and guard. Emerich has handled the duties at center OK, but struggles when forced into action at guard.

Omari Palmer has played out of position at right tackle in Ivan Foy's absence. While holding his own as long as could, he is undersized for the position and his struggles were apparent against N.C. State.

An offensive line out-of-sync and hampered by injury creates inconsistency at practice that is spilling over on the field when it counts the most: On game day...[/I]
