Beedle was working at LT last spring and at 6'5" 315 he has the size to play OT. Now that you have a week to prepare move Clark to LT and Beedle to OT and keep Machado as your backup. The Depth chart would be:
LT - D Clark, M Machado
LG - B Allen, B Clemons
C - J Allen, B Allen
RG - B McGowan, B Clemons
RT - D Beedle, M Machado
Maybe you consider playing Chase Gianacakos or Nick Padla if you get a good situation to have them get some experience. I think moving Allen to OT at the start of a game weakens you at 3 positions, Center, Left Gaurd and Left Tackle. If you have a week to work with Clark at LT, Beedle at RT and Machado at both I think you are better off. Hopefully they can get the Kieler and maybe Conklin back for the Michigan game.
