last year when he was moved from center to guard and eventually replaced him with Kristofic. Heistand moved him back to center and he has played very well. I'd say the same for Lugg, who was moved from tackle to guard. He is having a much better year as well. Same thing with Jarrett Patterson who moved from center to guard.
Crazy to think that, with the exception of Cain Madden, all of the current lineman were players and starters at some point last year and three have moved positions from last year. They are each performing better than last year and the line is far, far better than last year as well.
Harry Heistand has made an incredible impact on this team and I think we are seeing what a Matt Balis conditioning/Harry Heistand coaching combination can produce in an offensive line at Notre Dame.
