How will the offensive line recover from the losses of stalwarts Ben Muth and Alex Fletcher?
Muth and Fletcher left holes to fill at left tackle and center, respectively. However, the Cardinal feels as good about this unit as any on the team heading into fall camp. Stanford returns four players — Chris Marinelli, Chase Beeler, Andrew Phillips and Matt Kopa — who have combined to make 52 career starts, with Marinelli leading the way with 26. In addition, redshirt freshman David DeCastro has been penciled in as the starter at right guard and Martin will be given every opportunity to take over the left tackle duties. Who takes over the kicking duties from Aaron Zagory? Of Stanford’s personnel losses from last season, Zagory might be the most difficult to replace immediately. He made 14-of-17 field goal tries last year and his career percentage of .733 (22-for-30) ranks as the best in school history. Eric Whitaker and Travis Golia will compete for the starting job, with Whitaker perhaps having the edge in experience after handling kicking duties at Notre Dame during the 2007 sea
