This afternoon as BC prepared for its season opener against Northwestern on Saturday, Nathan Richman was in full pads and working at left TACKLE behind starter John Wetzel. BC coach Frank Spaziani's logic was simple. Richman has missed most of training camp and his status remains uncertain for Saturday. By working at left tackle instead of left guard, he can get reps in without disrupting the continuity which is building with Mark Spinney at guard. If he can play, he might start at left tackle over Wetzel as Spaziani follows the "five best guys will play'' theory.
