what are yall's viewpoints on the way the center position has been played as of late?

honestly, I guess I havent been paying attention because if you asked me a day ago, i wouldve said "i think Carson has been playing about as expected for a first year starter, not bad. I think he could use another year in the weight room, as he gets pushed back sometimes, but otherwise he looks fine."

since yesterday, the THE Podcast guys have consistently mentioned Hinzman struggling in the MSU game, calling him the weak link. Austin and Zach Boren brought it up yesterday, and both Birm and Landis brought it up today, mentioning the fact that Matt Jones played center during some moments in the MSU game. I didnt even notice that.

Overall, I think that the O-line has been improving some, and ive been happy to see Josh Simmons play much better as of late... but i bring up these comments about Hinzman just as a catalyst for discussion.
