OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Only C Andre Huval, a preseason all-Sun Belt Conference pick from St. Thomas More, and RG Daniel Quave start at the same spots they did in 2012. Mykhael Quave moves from LG to LT for 2013. Terry Johnson is the new starting LG, Octravian Anderson the new RT. Jarad Martin will be UL's No. 3 OT, and the Cajuns would like to develop some youngsters - perhaps Jeremy Sparks and Zach Tarver. Both were injured for part of preseason camp, however.

Hud says: "They'll continue to get better as the season goes along."

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN

They haven't been fully healthy in preseason camp, but the Cajuns are especially high on DT Justin Hamilton, NG Brandon McCray and DE Christian Ringo, a preseason all-Sun Belt selection. Dominque Tovell, who started six games at OLB last season, will start too. DE Chris Prater could develop into an every-down player, and additional depth could come from Blain Winston, Remaine Douglas, Karmichael Dunbar and ex-South Florida signee Marquis White.

Hud says: "Like our front a lot. Those guys have played a lot of snaps."
