O'Leary increases offensive rotation

Much like he did with the defensive line earlier this season, Knights Coach George O'Leary has increased the rotation on the offensive line.

After having senior Josh Sitton start three different positions over the course of three games, O'Leary finally seems satisfied.

The past two games he has started Sitton at right guard, 6-foot-7 freshman Jah Reid at right tackle and former walk-on sophomore Cliff McCray at left guard. Junior Patrick Brown has remained a fixture at left tackle.

O'Leary hasn't demoted LG Jeremy DeVane and RG L.J. Anderson but said rather that he wants to keep a steady rotation of 7-8 players.

"I think moving [Josh] Sitton in at guard has solidified the inside a little bit more," O'Leary said. "It has given the opportunity for Jah Reid to go in at tackle. The good thing is that there are only four seniors and only two on defense, so we are fairly young in a lot of areas.
