Notes:
- Well, we are getting a feeling for the accuracy of the Tuesday depth charts, which is to say that they are not accurate at all. We've had starters announced that do not play (e.g., Nate Herbig), and players declared out due to injury that end up starting (e.g., Casey Toohill). So I'm not going to put much stock in them. Having said that...
- OG Nate Herbig is marked as starter; Devery Hamilton started in his place at RG last week. Brandon Fanaika continues to start at LG.
- JJAW is out. True sophomore WR Connor Wedington is back from injury, and played in his second game of the year last week. He is marked as starter opposite Trent Irwin. It looks like coaches may not be interested in redshirting C-Dub this year.
- Last week against UW, true freshman DE Thomas Booker started in place of Jovan Swann. Now, I acknowledge that this may be a schematic thing (i.e., that Booker perhaps plays DE over Swann in passing downs), but it is nonetheless reeeeally interesting, and accords to my assessment that Dylan Jackson has been the best player on the DL (for what little that may be worth). On the depth chart, Swann is marked as starter again, but let's keep an eye on this.
- True freshman DL Andres Fox played last week, marking his second game played. We'll see...
- OLB Joey Alfieri still out; Jordan Fox (who has been mostly great) starts.
- OLB true junior Curtis Robinson returned from injury last week, playing in his second game of the year.
- DE Thomas Schaffer played!
- OG/OT Foster Sarell, S Ben Edwards, S Brandon Simmons, PK Jet Toner out.
- This Saturday is senior day, so it will be interesting to see what academic seniors choose to be announced.
