2nd and 7 with 6:32 left in the 4th. 4 out of 5 OL are subs. Thomas still in at center.
Jones and Blair both pull. Both are athletic. Jones gets his guy to seal his edge. Blair whiffs on his block.

1st and 10 at 5:43
Dormady keeps it on the read. Hall gets to the second level after helping to pin the DT inside. Common trend among Butch OL recruits. Looks really athletic. Blair on the other side gave ground but got his guy turned so if Kelly would have had the ball, that end would have been out of the play.

2nd and 4 now
Jones and Raulerson pull on the outside run. Raulerson looks every bit the part of what they want at center. Pulls very well and gets a pancake on some poor LB. Jones doesn't get a great block one good enough to get Kelly by his guy. That Raulerson block was something special. I bet he got a atta boy in the film room.

1st and goal
Hall loses his block but Kelly is so quick squirts by him. Every one else gets there side sealed. I wonder if Mosley wasn't supposed to go to the second level because there was a LB right there for the tackle. If that guy gets blocked, its a walk in TD.

2nd and goal.
BGSU has too many men in the box for this OL. Stocstill misses on his block on the end. He needs tp push him further inside so Jones can get there and give help. He doesn't so KElly has no where to go in the backfield.

3rd and goal
Nothing much to speak off here. It's a quick hitter to Stocstill who drops it.


Have to be encouraged by what you saw out of that group. Even Blair. If Raulerson can get the calls down, I wonder if he can win 2nd center duties.
