Running Wednesday Practice Notes

Santiago came back overweight and is being demoted temporarily while he plays his way back into shape. He is arguably our best lineman and will start. If he regains his mobility he will start at tackle; otherwise guard.

The continuity is there for this year but only two will return next year. I like Antonio Johnson, Adedipe and Y'Barbo as this year's additions to the O-line. If we can keep adding that caliber, or better, to the 'hogs' and Coach Bryant is Lefty, sans experience, then we look strong for years to come.

This is news. Was this reported in the papers? I'm not doubting you, I just hadn't heard or read this anywhere.

[Coach Andy Mac]

Santiago is an All Sun Belt player surely he will be the starter.

I did see it on a blog. I believe that it came from the Mean Green Gang but it could have been a DRC blog. It seemed plausible because he came in about 25 pounds over last year's playing weight. As has been said, he is an all-conference selection and will start. My money's on his getting his weight down to near 300 (he weighed in at 320) and be a tackle.
