Fresno State quick hits: O-line rotation in flux, extra hours a staple, fan day nears

Related Topics: lineman

Fresno State has had its No. 1 offensive line set since the end of the spring, but coming up with a top eight to take into the season is a work in progress complicated by the absence of backup center Markus Boyer, who has missed time with an injury.

Matt Smith has taken reps at center, as have Quireo Woodley and Shane Gama. Cody Pound has worked at both tackle spots as well as guard, and has settled in at right tackle. Ryan Popolizio has been solid. Freshmen Syrus Tuitele and Zelan Tupuola are promising prospects.

“There are just a lot of combos when you start trying to find your eight guys,” offensive line coach Ryan Grubb said.
