Coach Franklin met with the media on Wednesday but was unable to answer questions about position battles in terms of players winning starting roles. The team is still installing both offensive and defensive packages and Franklin said that the coaches have not yet spoken about picking a starting lineup.
One thing that coach was ready to say for certain was that he expects there to be three offensive guards that share time. Veteran Steven Gonzalez has 29 starts over the past three seasons and is expected to start and play the bulk of the snaps at left guard.
