Coach Prime Hopes New O-Line Can Rise | Colorado Buffaloes Football News

Coach Prime is buzzing about the revamped offensive line, boasting eight or nine potential starters after a brutal past few seasons plagued by inconsistency and 38 sacks allowed last year. With all last year’s starters gone and nine transfers added to six returning players, the competition is fierce — Bo Hughley and Larry Johnson III battle at tackle, Taj White eyes right tackle, while Demetrius Hunter and Sean Kinney duel for center, and Yahya Attia and Jose Soto vie for guard. Offensive coordinator Brennan Marion is equally excited, calling this the best line he’s ever coached — even better than his Texas unit — and stressing the need for speed, run game strength, and communication to handle blitzes and open lanes. The center spot is especially critical, requiring a quarterback of the line to organize the unit, and with Hunter bringing Houston experience and Kinney eager to make an immediate impact, chemistry will be built in Colorado Springs before the season opener against Georgia Tech on September third.
