I thought that was odd as well.

Backup guard being first team all conference is impressive, they must be seeing something we're not

I guess they like our depth at OL.

More like they just saw his physical dimensions and said, "yeah, him."

Jordan Murray over Elex Woodworth? I guess size really does matter.😃

My guess would be that most national publications have no idea that Murray was moved to second team coming out of the spring and are basing this prediction off of the fact that he was second team all conference last year.

Texas Football must have the same scouting report on Murray.  They have him First Team "All State of Texas."  By the way, we had more members on the first team (3) offense than any other school.

That picture they used sums up the defense last year.

I'm a little shocked that he's not starting at guard.  Who's going to run over a 6'9", 330 lb. guard?  Mostly no one.  But they sure could run around him as a tackle.

He proved rather ineffective at guard last year, though, no?

they may not be able to run over him, but I'm guessing Fine couldn't pass or see over him as well.  The latter being a much bigger issue.

Did he play guard last year?  

I hope he is using all of this as motivation and has an all-conference year.

Agreed.  Constantly out of position, no?
