ANN ARBOR -- Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez believes he has identified his five best offensive linemen, and now it's a matter of moving them into the right positions.

Steve Schilling has started every game at right tackle, but he's versatile enough he can play at guard, if needed.

If Schilling does move to guard, that would allow Perry Dorrestein and Mark Ortmann, both of whom have made starts at left tackle, to play the tackle spots.

Dorrestein, who was cleared Monday to play this week after taking a hit to the head in Saturday's game, likely would be at right tackle.

"We may shuffle guys here and there," Rodriguez said before Wednesday's practice. "We're still playing around with that a little bit. I think that's given us a little bit more options for later down the road."
