Any reason Long wouldn't be a center? I read of Long's potential at Center from a Keim article when he was drafted.

The immediate effects of the run game happened after Litch got hurt. I will agree that Lauvao is an upgrade over Long at the moment. Litch's ability to get to the second level and combo block has been missed. He played very well till his injury, and tried to play another game with the injured shoulder, but was not effective.
If you would like to breakdown film with me, I can show you the difference and huge effect that Litch's absence has caused, but I can assure you that this week will prove that if he returns like he should.........Unless we decide to spread the ball out again and let Kirk command that offense and throw 40x. Which I think we should be doing anyhow.
