  UL — It might be a misconception to describe an area that includes three fifth-year seniors as inexperienced, said University of Louisiana at center Ian Burks.

Yet Burks agrees that despite previous individual game experience, the UL offensive line is still a work in progress as the Cajuns point to their Sept. 4 season opener at Georgia.

Departed from UL’s offensive line are 2009 All-Sun Belt Conference selections Chris Fisher and Brad Bustle. Add the loss of tackle Kyle Pirtle, and Burks finds himself some what of a stranger in a familiar land.

The article said Bustle voted for UL to win the conference and was the lone vote for UL in the poll. I don't recall him ever doing that before. We will surprise a lot of people and this just may be our year.
