    That guarantees a solid O-Line this year. He is the leader of the line and he will be awesome this year (1st team all american).

    That is some great news. Big Ben is as good of a center as you will find in college football. He's extremely athletic for a guy of his size and is a great leader. When starting a new QB it will be nice to have stability and strength on the OLine.

    Yes I'm also very glad he is coming back. I want a guy with alot of experience to help ease along the New QB's in the huddle and also be counted on to call the right blocking assignments.

    Of all the juniors, he was the one we "needed" to come back. The offensive line will still have to replace 2 seniors leaving & a tight end. If Ben left, some continuity would have been lost. I agree, having a senior center will help the new QB's.
