Pick your surprise(s): Offense
The MGoBlog previews for the offense have been posted. It seems there is at least one surprise starter and contributor every year. Last year, Grant Newsome took the LT job, Asiasi leap-frogged Wheatley, Chris Evans took off as the #2 RB, and, most famously, Wilton Speight won the starting QB job (though by the preview Brian conceded he was the most likely starter).
So...who on offense do you think will start/contribute in a significant way that has been overlooked? As a reminder, here's Brian's starting line-up:
- LT: Mason Cole
- LG: Ben Bredeson
- C: Patrick Kugler
- RG: Mike Onwenu
- RT: Jon Runyan, Jr.
- FB: Khalid Hill, Henry Poggi
- HB: Khalid Hill
- TE: Ian Bunting
- Flex: Zach Gentry
- WR1: Kekoa Crawford
- WR2: Tarik Black, DPJ
- Slot: Grant Perry
- Spread H: Chris Evans
- RB: Chris Evans, Karan Higdon
- QB: Wilton Speight
My guesses: TWJ starts at TE (not Bunting); Sean McKeon is a surprise contributor; Chris Evans and Karan Higdon combine for 1,800 rushing yards.

when Harbaugh calls my number against OSU and a fat, out-of-shape former cross-country runner with no organized football experience leads the team to victory.

Ben Mason will become a fan (Mgo?) favorite by season end.

Ben Mason and Nolan Ulizio. Kekoa Crawford's name will probably be called more often than Black and DPJ, which I think will surprise people because of all the hype for the freshmen.
