Depth Chart for Louisville

One thing that stands out to me from that depth chart--how few seniors we're relying upon in the two deep.

On offense, we have only three senior starters, two of whom are OL:
  1. Amba Etta-Tawo
  2. Jason Emerich
  3. Omari Palmer
Two of those [Etta-Tawo and Palmer] will be challenging to replace. Emerich is solid, but we have quality OL depth behind him, and shouldn't miss a beat [might also strengthen the interior of the line's ability to move the pile at the LOS].

The other seniors on offense [Cornelius, Cam, Moore, Lasker] are bit players in this system, and easily replaced.

Defense literally has zero senior starters, and only three [De'jon Wilson and Marquez Hodge / Ted Taylor] on the second unit, each of whom is at best platoon depth guys. With all due respect to these contributors, all three of these guys are also replaceable.

We could be returning 19 starters next year, along with several important components from the 2 deep who will also be seeing the field / gaining valuable experience behind the starters.

With that kind of year-over-year continuity in personnel, it certainly supports the pattern of Babers's teams taking a massive step forward in year 2.

Something to pay attention to heading into next year.
