Battling hard for a guard spot. Unfortunately, Tangwell may have missed some time but Loane seems to be quite capable.

Interesting. Wondering if at LG or RG?
Yep, it was my understanding that Loane was at RG whereas Tengwell starts at LG. But I believe it as also said that Loane has practices at Center so maybe he's practiced at all of the inside spots.

Anyone know where Loane would likely play?

I only know he is pressing hard for time this year inside. The exact spot, unsure.

Usually in the asset category of the ledger? However sometimes Loane will play for accounts payable. There is always a spot open for Loans, but playing him will always cost a team in the long run. Loane is a quick fix, but not am answer in the long run.
 
The comforting news of course is that nobody will know anything until warm up on September 2nd...SMH

Vega Ioane receiving more playing time is not a surprise. The man is a beast with All-America potential.

Tengwall has been mostly hype since his arrival. It may be that his health is a limiting factor preventing him from reaching his potential.

Sounds like there is heavy interest on this Loane.
 
Would love to see Tengwell at LG and stay healthy and Ioane at RG and also stay healthy.

As big as our line was last year....when Olu and Tengwell went down....we were not as physical. The run game got going in my opinon because the backs were better.......need to block more bodies in 2023...
 
Ioane is an absolute beast. We hit the lottery having him flip from WA I believe to PSU. Watched him last year push the DT back about 4 yards and put him flat on his back. Very impressive, and extremely powerful, especially coming from a true freshman. We need him for the Buckeyes and particularly the Wolverines who blew us off the LOS last year all day long.

Be nice to return the favor!

What impressed me most about Tengwall when he played last season was his mobility. He moved quickly and was effective on pulling out for sweeps. Listed at 6'6" and 317# he was able to get to the second level of defense,

Ioane listed at 6'4" and 350# is more of a mauler. Moved straight ahead and created space inside.

In a way, Tengwall can be more successful for springing Singleton for long runs, and Ioane better at creating some room for Kaytron.

Wormley and Wallace were huge disappointments last year. line got better as Shelton, Nelson, etc got reps. hope it all comes together for the vets and Franklin gives the quick hook of it doesn’t.

He has a blind spot for vet O-lineman. I still have nightmares about a hobbled Andrew nelson getting beat clean every 3rd down for half the season before getting pulled.
 
I somewhat agree with you but Effner was extremely ineffective at OT.....just ask tOSU DE about Effner playing OT.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the play of Shelton, Nelson, Ionne (the little that he got in), and Dawkins. Not sold on Wormley or Wallace either...... I would have thought that Wallace would cut some pounds to better handle speed rushers.....but I believe that he is even bigger. Wallace could be one of the best 4 guards on the team, the problem is that we have him playing OT...... maybe he improved this year.

I believe Wormley was battling some injuries last year like Tengwall.
PSU really needs a healthy Tengwall this year.

Your message is a bit vague. You would be wise to leave vague alone. :cool:
