Based on injury status CJF has shared, I'm going with:
LT - Effner
LG - Nourzard starts but J.B. Nelson gets majority of reps
Center - Scruggs
RG Wormley
RT - Wallace

probably right, but we might see Vega instead of JB as a redshirt games manipulation

Perhaps they also think play JB the rest of the way and he’ll have played 8 games which is worth burning the shirt

Right now it appears multiple OL redshirts may have to be burned for this team to field an effective OL and finish 10-2.

Please, don’t play musical chairs with this. Leave Effner at RT and play Shelton at LT. Wallace isn’t an upgrade at RT over Effner and shouldn’t be automatically handed the job back when injuries aren’t an issue.

Well, I agree but CJF will probably insist on Wallace starting @ RT and Effner playing LT. I agree that Shelton should be playing and forget about the redshirt.

JF is playing Sean Clifford because he gives the best chance to win (per coach). so why are they worried about red shirts on players that might give us the best chance to win.

They’re not, CJF pretty much said so on Tuesday, that they’d like to preserve redshirts, but not at the expense of going 1-0 that week. As with any other position, the staff will play the OL that gives us the best chance to win that week.

what happened to Golden Israel-Achumba, Nick Dawkins and Traore?

Dawkins is hurt, been on the sidelines not dressed with his arm in a sling. The other 2 just aren’t very good, been passed on the depth chart by Shelton, Nelson, Ioane. If you’re playing your best OL, it ain’t them, if Achumba or Traore are playing meaningful minutes we’re in trouble.
