Game 1 Depth Chart / Game Notes vs Ohio

[OrlandoCuse]

The two Hawaiian frosh olinemen make the 2-deep

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Our defense is incredibly young. Almost scary they are so young. Hopefully it’s a good crop.

 

[Toga]

Only 6 seniors on the two deep.

 

[UnknownOrange]

oh wow i figured it would be Tommy Devito AND/OR/WITH/MAYBE Garret Shrader

 

[Chip]

Have to admit, I expected more 'Or's.

 

[upperdeck]

so-fr at 3 spots on the oline with only 1 sr in the whole mix..

 

[GoSU96]

Only guy I didn’t see on offense was Bradford. interesting way they sorted the wr’s. could read it as taj is in the slot.

linton not being on the two deep is a surprise, greenwood and cole on the db two deep, is a surprise

 

[PhatOrange]

just 1 - Ellis

The term freshman is a little misleading, but technically yes.

Only 1 first year player in that OL 2 deep though. And most in at least their 3rd year.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Guessing Davis will be available but won't play much.
Sharod Johnson as a starter?
Simmons listed as a backup

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

Surprised Sharod Johnson is starting. Must’ve had a good camp.

No Linton or Kinsler on 2 deep. Whats the story here, injuries?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'm just thrilled we have a depth chart.

 

[PhatOrange]

I’m glad to see them move Greenwood from Safety to Corner. I thought he really struggled at Safety.

Biggest shocker to me is Sharod Johnson. A pegged transfer candidate worked himself into the starting outside WR jumping Alford is a big WOW imo.

Taj in the slot. Love it.

Exactly, and if they show the improvement we all hope for, we can get most of them back again next year

I'm guessing Sharod, having been here for 8 years, looked good blocking. Sterling and Dino probably want to run it down their throat and then take a few deep chances this week. Otherwise fairly vanilla and just get out of there with a win.

The younger guys (Alford, Gadson) would likely need more blocking work.

Just a guess.

I don’t think there’s any story. Linton is coming off surgery and Kinsler is a DE. Sparrow could be seen as a surprise at MLB over Arku (who they moved) but Lowery looked like a future stud in spot duty last season.

Linton been banged up. Duce seemed primed to start at CB. As far a Taj. I think they plan to move Taj around every where based on on how much other Wr's improved. When Taj slide inside Sharod/Alford would be those outside Wr's that will go in.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Linton was no contact all of summer practice, so no surprise he's not listed. Recovering from surgery.

 

[Trueblue25]

Agreed, what gives me hope is how damn good Marlowe and Thompson are. These are potential NFL calibre backers in the future if they progress further.

Secondary’s a concern.

I like that the holder is a backup long-snapper.

 

[MikeSU02]

I haven't been this excited for the future of our LBs since we got Clifton Smith in to let Bullock play on the outside.

The whole back 7 on D is young, but filled with potential.

This OL has to click. Has to.

RBs should be the most consistent group, imo.

I think we'll see plenty of guys at WR.

QB... whoever it is, has to produce. Bad line or not. If it's TD coming out on the first drive, let's get six. Let 'er rip.

Need to always win special teams. Need to be able to get 3 once we hit the 25 yard line like you can bet your mortgage on it. If we can extend that to the 30, even better.

A win at Ohio should mean something. They aren't a pushover and we're on the road. It could really put some wind in our sails. LFGO!

 

[SUDadx2]

Wow…. Look at all of this Seniors

 

[orangeinohio]

We're going to get the same depth chart for the whole season.
