Message: [QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 3578351, member: 229"] I don’t really know the chain of events with Clark regarding his injuries, but as a redshirt freshman he played in all 12 games. He was on the field goal unit so that’s meaningful and it’s how they were cutting his teeth. As a sophomore and junior he played in zero games and was DQd his junior year due to concussions. His sophomore year was the 10-3 season, while we had starting tackles his DNPs were the likely result of injuries (I’ll have to research this point). I’m fairly certain he was projected to at least compete for a starting Tackle spot his junior year. I understand your point about ‘warm’ bodies but Clark’s a bad example due to the injuries. It’s also reasonable to be patient with OL and see them begin to contribute by the junior year. Lots of examples of OL stepping in as first year starters their senior year and excel. [/QUOTE]
