11/05/09- Beau Warren, rJr, Virginia Tech, 6-3, 288 Center Beau Warren (ankle) doesn't look like he'll be able to play at East Carolina. Warren suffered the injury late in the third quarter last week against North Carolina and wasn't able to practice Saturday or Sunday.

He has more bad luck.” Molk was just coming back from a broken foot and didn’t even last the whole first series against Penn State. He tried again in the second half but couldn’t go. David Moosman will replace him at center. - Mark Snyder, The Detroit Free Press
10/26/09- Kris O'Dowd, Jr, Southern Cal, 6-5, 300 Junior C Kris O'Dowd, who was a preseason All-American, hasn't been able to play up to expectations this season because of a knee injury suffered in training camp. He missed only one game, but he says now he hasn't been 100 percent - and it has showed. Coach Pete Carroll shuffled the line against Oregon State, moving sixth-year senior guard Jeff Byers to his old position of center and inserting Butch Lewis at left guard. Carroll must have liked what he saw because O'Dowd did not play.
10/26/09- Garth Gerhart, rSo, Arizona State, 6-1, 302 The Arizona State-Stanford game turned into a Gerhart family reunion. Stanford senior RB Toby Gerhart is a star (and he ran for 125 yards against ASU), and his young brother, Arizona State sophomore OL Garth Gerhart, returned from a turf toe injury to start at right guard.
10/20/09- Chris Hall, rSr, Texas, 6-4, 298 10/20/09 NFL DRAFT SCOUT FALLER: Chris Hall, C, Texas: A second-team All-Big 12 pick last season, Hall really struggled against all-world junior Gerald McCoy - as most centers do. But Hall's lack of athleticism was on display against others, as well as in previous games this season. His anchor is fair when facing a bull rush, but quicker tackles can easily shed him to attack the quarterback when one-on-one. He'll face strong and quick tackles like McCoy almost every week in the NFL, so this was not the type of showing he needed to prove himself worthy of a mid-round pick. - Chad Reuter, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com

10/09/09- Lowell Dyer, rSr, North Carolina, 6-4, 290 After losses to ACC Coastal Division foes Georgia Tech and Virginia, North Carolina is doing some self-assessment as the Tar Heels take a break from league play to host Georgia Southern. Specifically, the Heels need to address serious problems on offense, both in the running and passing game, after showing some positive signs in earlier wins over Connecticut and East Carolina. "Why did we play so well against East Carolina? Why did we have reasonable success in the fourth quarter against Connecticut? I think we as coaches have to kind of ask ourselves. ‘Are we trying to do too much with a young inexperienced football team,'" coach Butch Davis said. Most of the troubles probably can be traced to the offensive line, where injuries have taken a toll on the Heels' experienced blockers. The Heels have been down two starters in Jonathan Cooper and Lowell Dyer since the opener. Tight end Zack Pianalto hasn't played since injuring his foot while celebrating his fourth-quarter touchdown catch against UConn. Bobby Rome also has been limited at fullback, a critical area for its blocking. Even before the season started, the Heels were down two potential starters. Tackle Carl Gaskins injured his knee in the preseason, and Aaron Stahl, who played center and guard and came out of the spring a projected starter, decided to pass up his senior season. "We got younger and more inexperienced in the offense line than we anticipated," Davis said. Davis said the approach now is for the Heels to simplify things so the players can concentrate on execution. After taking on Georgia Southern, the Heels will have the following weekend off to get ready for a Thursday-night affair at home against Florida State on Oct. 22.
10/09/09- Garth Gerhart, rSo, Arizona State, 6-1, 302 OL Garth Gerhart, a possible starter at center or guard, should play this week after recovering from a toe injury suffered in the opener. He could end up at right guard for Brent Good.
10/07/09- Jeff Tow-Arnett, rSr, Minnesota, 6-2, 285 Starting C Jeff Tow-Arnett has been ruled out for the year due to a leg fracture, but he's already talking about a possible return this season.
10/07/09- Trey Davis, rSo, Minnesota, 6-2, 278 Center Trey Davis replaces the injured Jeff Tow-Arnett at center. But the sophomore filled in for Tow-Arnett, who also dealt with a leg injury last season, and made multiple starts a year ago.
10/07/09- Wade Grayson, Jr, Arkansas, 6-4, 296 OG Wade Grayson made his first start of the season against Texas A&M as the coaches try to find the right combination up front. Arkansas has had three different starting offensive lines in the first four games of the season.
10/06/09- Jeff Tow-Arnett, rSr, Minnesota, 6-2, 285 Minnesota center Jeff Tow-Arnett is out for the season with a broken leg. Spokesman Andy Seeley says Tow-Arnett hurt his leg late in Saturday’s loss to Wisconsin. Seeley says Tow-Arnett also suffered some damage to his knee and underwent surgery Tuesday. Tow-Arnett played most of last season with a torn ACL. The loss of the senior is a tough blow for an offensive line still trying to come together. The Gophers (3-2, 2-1) host Purdue on Saturday. - AP Sports
10/05/09- David Molk, rSo, Michigan, 6-2, 280 Center David Molk, who broke a bone in his foot in the win over Eastern Michigan, continues to be sidelined by the injury. He is expected to miss another month, and has been replaced at center by David Moosman.
