Knapp out for NCG

Is Rocco gonna go? If Rocco plays, then he's at RG.

Do we play Baker or Jagusah at LT?

I'm inclined to say "play Jagusah". I just think that we'll need his size, power, athleticism, and nastiness to counteract that nasty tOSU DL.

I appreciate Tosh and how he battled Thursday night. But I just don't see him faring well vs Sawyer, JTT, and the others.

And if Rocco can't go....then is Pendleton a solution at RG? I know he's had struggles from an assignment standpoint. But I just think it's all hand on deck, for 60 minutes. We may really need his size and nastiness. Gotta get him focused and locked in, for 60 more minutes. That's it.

I'm not sure if Rocco is ready he plays over Jagusah if they want Baker at LT.

Jagusah looked pretty darn good and it's a healthy fresh body out there without 15 games of wear and tear

I'm starting Jagusah this game. Just depends on where

Fwiw- I'd go Jagusah at LT.

Rocco, Pendleton, or Absher at RG.

Jagusah
Billy S
Coogan
Rocco/Pendleton/Absher
Wagner

That group handles the OSU DL. If that group is locked in, then I think we're able to run the ball effectively, and maybe steal this game.

I agree. Jagusah played exceptionally well replacing Rocco. He’s better than Rocco when Rocco is healthy, and much better than Rocco with a bad ankle. And Jagusah beat out Baker at LT before getting hurt. So, yes…Jagusah needs to start. Wish we knew Lambert’s current development as I would love another viable option at LT with Jagusah playing so damn well at RG.

Lambert has been practicing at RT all year and didn't play much LT in high school

I dont think that's an option

It's finding the right fit between those 3 guys

Like I said, wish we had another option at LT. But I think you’re right, realistically it’s Jagusah and Baker and Rocco for two positions. I think it all depends on Rocco’s condition. If he practices well and is ready to go, I think he starts at RG and the decision becomes Baker or Jagusah at LT. Either will have problems with Sawyer, but I think Jagusah is measurably better than Baker, even though he has been practicing at guard. But again, I think it largely depends on how well Rocco practices and heals this week.

Why Lambert at RT? What is his future position? Does he sit again next year? Wagner is gonna be the RT again, right? Unless:

Wagner goes to LT.
Lambert to RT
Then Schrauth, Jagusah, Knapp, Craig, Coogan, Pendleton, Absher all fight for the 3 interior spots. And I likely left a few guys out who will be involved in those 3 position battles.

He played RT in HS and he wasn't an EE. So my guess is they thought Jagusah was locked in at LT so they had Lambert compete for RT. I'm not sure of they ever moved him after Knapp and Baker battled for LT

Lambert will battle for one of the tackle positions next year depending on what they decide to do.

Lot of options next year. Who comes back, who leaves. Who is healthy. We just don't know yet

What would you do for the 20th? 1 group of 5 w Rocco playing. Another group of 5 with Rocco out.

IF Rocco is out that's pretty easy.

Baker
Schrauth
Coogan
Jagusah
Wagner

If Rocco plays I'm not sure yet what would be best. Would I even start Rocco. If I do start him do I move Jagusah to LT. Not sure
