The number of individual reps in meaningful games means more than starts. Equally important is number of reps the OL has together as a unit. I think that answer is 0. Spring practice will be important for group.

CNS always seems to want to switch everyone around, I guess preparing for the possibility of injury as well as looking for the right combination. But unity is always what the best OL seem to point to and I'm agreed that to gel they need to start playing as a unit in the spring. It'll be interesting to see what HSC thinks on this.
