The return of Buchanan

[Cknucks305]

With his return seemingly coming up in the BC game what do you guys think will happen at guard? Prior to the injury I think most would agree he was our best G. Since he went out our guard play has been just ok with Congdon up and down and SJ playing better but not up to our standard.

What combination are we thinking? Do we just go back to what we had leading up to Clemson?

This should be fun.

Maybe they’ll attach SJ to Rodriguez to make one normal size OL.

How we ended up with a Manny Diaz oline is baffling in year 5.. From "Mass kicks ***" and "it has to look a certain way" to now seems like we didnt stick to our own philosophy.

This made me laugh out loud

It was pretty good but Rodriguez has been good this year.

SJ....yeah.

But yes, when Buchanan comes back, he's the RG and SJ gets a nice view from the sideline.

In all honesty I don’t think we can just pencil in Buchanan playing just as good as he was when he comes back. There’s gonna be rust missing this many games.

Too many times I have heard Mario say somebody is close then weeks later they still are not back. Set backs etc happen. Tell me when he is cleared by the docs to play.

Crazy to think if he didn’t get hurt then these issues are not as bad.

 

[88]

He’s back for BC?

 

[Manfred_Cane]

Move SJ to fullback.

Yeah, but I think his slightly rusty is probably better than what we're getting from SJ. You're correct, though.

 

[htownkidd]

He’s back for BC?

Nothing is confirmed obviously. Mario mentioned it as a possibility on Monday and now everyone will run w/ it as fact and expect it as if our HC doesn’t throw out shaky injury timelines all the time.

 

[JayCane20]

Was going to say its pointless to bring him back for BC but I guess it would be a good game for reps and getting back into it.

Think you have to use that game (if he's actually back) to plug him in LG with SJ at RG, at RG with Congdon at LG, and as-is now and see which one works better.

 

[The U is back to work]

SJ when he hears UMs offensive guards average 6’4 315

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

Move SJ to bench.

Agreed.

Cut off his arms and he's still better than SJ

I think it can work

If we don’t see him as questionable on this weeks availability report or next weeks I doubt he’s back for BC. Don’t we normally move them to questionable for a couple weeks before they end up playing?
