If Craig is at full speed, playing him at RG would be ideal

I think Absher would do decently, but if we want our 5 best players out there, then I agree that keeping Otting at center, and letting Craig play right guard would give us our best lineup.

Otting stepped in for an injured Craig last year at center, and there was no dropoff in performance at all.

Not sure the best 5 isn't Craig at C and Absher at guard. It comes down to Absher vs Otting.

I'm cheering for Absher.

In the NIL and Portal era he could have easily dropped into a starting role at many P4 teams.
