Jedd Fisch points to the return of two veterans as being key to putting things together.
The first two questions directed at Jedd Fisch on Tuesday when the University of Washington football coach met with media members and prepared to open fall camp a day later were -- no surprise -- all about his offensive line.
"I really don't have a great idea of what our offensive line is going to look like come Aug. 31," Fisch said, referring to the season opener against Weber State at Husky Stadium. "I think a lot of it will have to do with Landen Hatchett and Gaard Memmelaar's health. I'm very hopeful that both of them will be cleared to play for opening day."
"I'm trying my best to get out there and play a full season, and I'm feeling really good," Hatchett said. "But I'm obeying doctor's orders and trainer's orders." Fisch said he has 15 scholarship offensive linemen on board, nearly double what the UW had available last spring, and the challenge is to get the aforementioned vets healthy and see which positions are best suited for newcomers D'Angalo Titialii from Portland State, Enokk Vimahi from Ohio State and Maximus McCree from Maryland and Iowa Central Community College.
Fisch said his staff will move everyone around as they hold practice auditions, looking for the best fit and checking body types to see how well the newcomers mesh together.
