Not only is Casey Bender a great o-lineman, but this is what has been said about Casey Knips after the Youngstown State game:

Diamond in the Rough

OT Casey Knips South Dakota State
The former basketball player boasts a rare combination of size and straight-line speed that, with work, could translate into success in the NFL. The two-year starter is a team leader and was recently recognized as a semifinalist for the Campbell Trophy (formerly the Draddy Trophy). Knips and the Jackrabbits beat Youngstown State last weekend, improving to 7-1. Much of the credit for the victory, which featured two rushing touchdowns by South Dakota and no tackles behind the line of scrimmage allowed, goes to the offensive line.

I am so glad these "big" boys are on our team. I wouldn't trade any of our players for a single Gopher.
