How about a round of applause for the job Thurston did

once Reeves got hurt. Filled in great going against one of UCLA's better defensive lineman.

Thurston played very well. He made good calls on the line once he got settled and not only made some good blocks but sustained his blocks. Cavanaugh did a good job on the sidelines with Thurston. It's a good thing Thurston believes in the next man up theory because he was definitely prepared.

Got his chance and responded very well. Great job!

Only had one issue that appeared to result in a false start.

Very pleased of his play and we didn't miss a beat. Good news also he has another year of eligibility.

For as few guys as we played this year, I feel pretty good about the youngsters waiting in the wings for next fall. I think they are being taught well in practice.

I hope this is the case with our younger ( 3 redshirt 2 Sophomores and 2 Juniors) and we have Gates to build around for next year.

Offensive line is my biggest worry besides TA continuing decision making going into next season.

 

[Sooner_or_Later]

Look for Gates to move to LT next year. Knevel/Gaylord to likely man the RT position. Snaps seemed vastly improved with Thurston vs Reeves. Wish he could have played earlier based on what we saw.

But, but, but, we don't rotate so no back-up will be ready! Thurston did well last night, as did a lot of guys, played at a higher level with determination.

 

[RedSea]

Yes, well-deserved congrats! Worried me when Reeves went out that early, but no noticeable drop off in the results says it all.

Thurston played well last year against USC. I was actually very surprised he didn't play/Start more this year. Especially with the constant high snap problems Reeves had all year!!
