WHAT THEY'RE
SAYING
COACHING STAFF "You want to
feel really good about your two
guys on the edges [who are] pro-
tecting the quarterback's blind-
side or his throwing arm. And
then to be able to have experi-
ence like we have with Miranda at
center, we feel really good there."
James Franklin // "I'm still try-
ing to find the best five. But
what I can say is, we have, I
feel right now, 10 guys I can
go into that [season-open-
ing] game with, and I think
that's a great thing to
have. Having depth is key
to an offensive line. Going
into [preseason camp],
that's probably the most I
can say. I want to make sure
these guys understand that it's
all competition, that no one's job
is guaranteed, and that the best
five are going to play." Phil
Trautwein
PRESEASON MAGS "[Penn
State] returns three starters, no-
tably left tackle Rasheed Walker,

first-rounder." Lindy's // "The
offensive line needs to improve."
