The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

And on Aug. 5, Ron Crook addressed left tackle

Big day for Ron Crook here and an interesting day for the left side of the offensive line, which Dana Holgorsen touched on in his presser.

We touched on this way back in Part 5 of the 2015 in 15 Countdown, and it’s topical enough that offensive line coach Crook had to discuss it yesterday. Hey, Kyle Bosch has a long way to go and it’s been a while since he played in a game. And right now, he’s not one of Crook’s best five linemen … but he’s part of a particular conversation, a complex one that involves the Michigan transfer, redshirt freshman Yodny Cajuste and junior Adam Pankey and ponders a switch at left guard and left tackle.

But after three days of camp, here’s where it stands:

“That’s a conversation we’re going to have and there might come a point where we do that,” Crook said. “Right now we have five guys set that we think are going to be the five, but if [Bosch] is one of the best five, then it becomes how do we get the best five out there? If Adam has to go back to tackle, that’s what he’s got to do.”

This isn’t a bad thing, by the way. And it might not happen. Cajuste hasn’t veered off this somewhat prolific path he’s been on, and Bosch is an asset. Crook hasn’t wavered, either. From as far back as learning Bosch was good to go this fall, he’s maintained that this is far more of a convenience than a controversy for the line.
