Spring football gets OBNUG in the mood to speculate, so over the next few weeks, we will be making blind guesses as to who will be starting for the Broncos in the fall. We’ll do it position-by-position. Today: Defensive line.
Defensive Line
Ideal candidate: a mountain
Worst candidate: a girl
Actual candidates: Ryan Winterswyk, Joe Bozikovich, Jarrell Root, Phillip Edwards, Sean Bingham, Chuck Hayes, J.P. Nisby, Mike T. Williams, Billy Winn, Chase Baker, et al
OBNUG’s pick: Winterswyk, Nisby, Bozikovich, Williams
Winterswyk and Williams are fairly obvious choices, although we could see Jarrell Root pushing Williams for playing time. The inside tackles are still very much up for grabs. We’re picking a freshman and a senior; we like Nisby’s strength and Bozikovich’s experience.

Boise State briefs
Here's a quick look at some news items from the past couple of days:
Brian Murphy talks shop with BSU linebackers. [Idaho Statesman]
Breaking news from Murph Turf: the BSU linebackers were not all that good last year.
Hawaii cornerback's girl problems net suspension. [Yahoo! Sports]
The Warriors will be without the services of CB Keenan Jones for the foreseeable future. Would Colt Brennan have let this happen? We think not.
Nevada's quarterback race gets ESPN's attention. [ESPN.com]
The Wolfpack QB duo of Kaepernick and Graziano were featured on the front page of ESPN's college football section for the past two days. Does the Worldwide Leader know they don't play for Fresno? Usually that type of honor is only reserved for over-hyped Bulldog news.

OBNUG podcasts the Broncos
We had the privilege of being part of a BroncoNation.net podcast, debating the debate about the QB debate. It made more sense on paper.
The podcast is up now on BroncoNation.net. Please check it out. Thanks to JT Ray and the guys at Bronco Nation for having us!
