Who will get the nod at the all-important left tackle position?
Olson or Dunbar?

I lean to Olson. Dunbar is going to be fine but he is coming from a very, very small high school and it's not inconceivable that he just needs another year of weights and practice on technique. He's still got the potential to play on sunday's. Olson is steady, if unspectacular.
I think we see Horn at right tackle. He's huge and he's nasty.

The other day I talked to someone who would know, and he said it would most likely be Olson

So our OL for Baylor is likely to be....
LT - Olson
LG - Dooley
C - Fry
RG - Foltz
RT - Horn

RT - Horn

I vote for Spencer Thompson. He's a senior, has played all positions on the line, has adequate size, always hustles, did well when some starters were hurt last year. Move him out to LT, play Olson at RT, give the sophomores another year to develop. Backup guard could be Trev Jones or Michael Thompson.

Very interesting !! The guy I talked to said they are leaning towards DUNBAR since he has more future potential than OLSON !!
(Olson is a senior with zero potential after this year, Dunbar is a soph with tons of potential this year and for the next two yrs after that. Dunbar is also much bigger, has longer arms, is more athletic, and has more upside)
Talking to the watergirls and cheerleaders doesnt really count, Mr Houston !!

Angst is as usual, full of it. All he will be talking come Sept, is Dwight Smith, assuming he gets his grades straight.
Dunbar will likely start at left tackle. Olson was the starter at right tackle coming out of last spring. He will start at right tackle this year. It is true Horn has a nasty streak.

[font="arial] [/font][font="arial][size="2"]OLSON may not start either. Looks to me like DUNBAR is going to beat him out. OLSON will be 2nd string. [/size][/font]

Olson is a starter, either at LT or RT, only pending injury. Period.

I think he will be in the rotation behind Dunbar at LT, looks good. Olson s/b the starting RT and is really being pushed hard by Horn & Woolridge. It may take a few games for them to gel but should be a solid OL.

Well, the guy I talked to will be starting on the OL this season, and he said it is likely Olson at LT this year. I was hoping for Dunbar to be the guy there as well, but he didn't think that was the case.
His guess for RT was Horn
