They don't have much time to gel.
I think the battle between McGovern and Hoge was really to just allow the battle to occur, not because there's a weakness at that position. Sounds like McGovern is hitting all of his assignments and will step in positionally and not make frequent mistakes. Bars looks to me to be outstanding. Which brings me back to Mustipher and whether he can handle all the assignments of a center.
I'm more positive than you and think by the end of the year this group will be talked about as special.
Yummy kool-aid.
