– Only 14 offensive lines in the country return more starts than the Cats. John Schlarman’s squad has combined for 89 starts. Their experience made things more fluid in the first week of practice. Yes, there are still some pre-snap penalties here and there, but Stoops has noticed a difference in the vets, “I see us more consistent. I see more guys instead of just one or two,” Stoops said. “Then when you plug in a young guy, it’s maybe not as noticeable.”
The young guy they’ve been plugging in is Big George Asafo-Adjei. Filling in for Kyle Meadows (migraine) as the first string right tackle, the praise Big George received in the Spring has only compounded.
