Dismukes beat out an undersized walk on for the job. And his play was inconsistent, and best described as adequate. He isn't the exception, he proves the rule.
Yeah...uhh suck it.

Yeah, they were pretty decent as Fr. Still, with Ben Tate and Brandon Cox in 2007 they failed to produce a 1000 yard rusher, Auburn was 53rd in Rushing offense, and was 51st in Sacks allowed. (Some Sacks are on the QB or RB too), 97th in Total Off., and 84th in Scoring.
In 2009, (I won't even try to use 2010) their Jr. season, Ben Tate rushed for 1363 yards, Auburn was 13th in the nation in rushing offense, 16th in Total Off., 17th in scoring offense, and 45th in sacks allowed.
As a
general rule Fr. are not physically ready to play OL, or and DT, but some are forced in to duty by default. If they're good as Fr., which is rare, they're much better as Jr. and Sr. If they suck as Fr. it doesn't mean they won't be good with some time to grown, gain experience, and off season workouts.
