My two deep for the OL going into the spring semester:

If Hickey returns:

LT: Hickey (SR) Lasker (JR)
LG: Trudo (JR) Palmer (SO)
C: Emerich (SO) Hayes (RF)
RG: Robinson (JR) Miller (SR)
RT: Foy (JR) Knapp (SO)

If Hickey does not return:

LT: Lasker (JR) Knapp (SO)
LG: Trudo (JR) Palmer (SO)
C: Emerich (SO) Hayes (RF)
RG: Robinson (JR) Miller (SR)
RT: Foy (JR) McGloster (RF) or Burton (RF)

Center is the big question mark.  Could be Emerich, Trudo, Miller or Hayes.  I think Hayes is the least likely given his lack of experience (the center makes all the calls on blocking assignments).  Previous staffs have often moved a starter at OG or OT to C to try and get someone with experience at this key position.  Given our relative lack of depth at OG and OT, it seems unlikely but if Emerich isn't ready, it could happen.

John Miller was 2nd team all conference playing center his sophomore year in JUCO ball (Mike Lasker had the same 2nd team as a frosh).  If Emerich doesn't start at C, my guess is that Miller does, based on his starting 2 seasons at center at the JUCO level.  Miller incidentally is listed on the SU roster as a sophomore but from everything I have read, he played 2 years at LA Harbor College, so he is a junior this year and next year, he will be a senior.
