Changes noted:
- Bryce Love off injured list, marked as starter at RB. It will be interesting to see how much Trevor Speights and Cam Scarlett play in order to keep Love healthy.
- Devery Hamilton marked as starter over Brandon Fanaika at LG. Even with the "or" notation on the depth chart, the first name tends to be favored. This is interesting given that Fanaika was the starter last game over a "healthy" Hamilton. We'll see.
- Casey Toohill off injured list, marked as starter at OLB. Jordan Fox returns to backup role after filling in pretty well.
- Foster Sarell (OT/OG), Connor Wedington (WR), Curtis Robinson (OLB), and Ben Edwards (S) all still injured. Interestingly, all four played as true freshmen. I think, for this reason, it is intentional that the staff is being extra cautious with these four. As the games go by, there is an increasing chance that any of these four will eventually claim a redshirt for this year, barring exodus for the NFL. Robinson has played in zero games, Wedington one, Sarell two, and Edwards three. According to the new rule, as a freshman, you burn your shirt after appearing in your fifth game. But if you are not a freshman, you can apply for a medical redshirt for a past season when your eligibility is used up. This request is almost always granted if you played in less than five games (according to the new rule) rather than four (old rule). Sean Barton will have that option, too, should he so choose.
