Sikorski and Seymore continue their battle to start at LG.

Who wins the LG job? Or is there a rotation at LG? Could we have an OL shakeup this week or after Ohio St?

Wish we could go back to spring ball and adjust OL.  

I would like to see the below OL. Believe we could pass block just as well and certainly run block better, especially on the right side....

LT 6-7 325 Goosby

LG 6-4 315 Baker

C 6-4 335 Sikorski

RG 6-6 339 Cojoe

RT 6-7 317 Siani

 

Is 6-6 339 Cojoe one of our best 5? Think he might be. Connor is a fine leader and had a good day pass blocking. Believe the bigger Sikorski has more upside as a run blocker at C than Robertson.  Big Cojoe could be a good G. We saw a similar move when big Leonard Davis moved from tackle to guard for Dallas Cowboys and earned 3 consecutive Pro Bowls while being a stout run blocker. Playing Cojoe more this season could help him for next season.

They're not going to do a mass overhaul of the IOL six days before playing Ohio State barring injury.  I wasn't impressed with the IOL run blocking in the middle portion of the game yesterday, but the staff isn't going to make mass changes there right before the most important game of the season.  It will be Goosby LT, Seymore LG, Robertson C, Baker RG, Siani RT for that game and the foreseeable future.

Has Sikorski ever played center?  If not, that's a big jump in responsibility.  Not sure I like Conor at guard in your scenario either.  Tough to get leverage on bowling ball DL when you're 6-6 unless you're extremely good at getting low leverage in a body that long.

During the Longhorns' spring practice session, Sikorski picked up a larger workload at center to showcase that flexibility, particularly after a knee injury sidelined teammate Jackson Christian. Heading into the season, reporters and depth chart projections from platforms like OnTexasFootball tracked him as a key depth piece capable of backing up both guard spots and Connor Robertson at center.

Yes, transfer OL Sikorski played C in spring ball at Texas.

I don't have Connor at guard.

I have 6-6 339 Andre Cojoe at G.

Cojoe heavily featured at right guard alongside right tackle early in his high school career. He was widely recruited by major recruiting services as an interior offensive guard prospect. He eventually transitioned to left tackle for his senior season.

Typical 1st game overreactions due to an OL that had played 0 combined snaps together in this configuration against live bullets. 

Ohio State had 15 attempts for 47 yards, with a long of 11 in their 1st half against Ball State, and their OL had much more playing time together than ours.
