Well, I’ll do game notes (PDF) later. The important thing, initially, is the depth chart (page 3) for the game. Mike McGlynn isn’t listed on the depth chart at all. He might be there by game day, but as of today, he doesn’t play in the season opener. That means the O-line is: Otah, Davis, Vangas, Thomas and Pinkston.
The TE position is officially undecided. Byham is listed first but Pelusi and Strong are also listed as starters with bold and “OR.”
The two-deep for WR are Turner, Porter at Split End and Pestano, McGee for Flanker. No surprise with the starters. At least officially on the chart, they are giving the nod to the more experienced players over the freshmen — Williams and Wright.
Defensively, it looks as expected except that they are still undecided with the SAM LB. Gunn was expected to have gotten the nod due to a bit more consistency, but it is listed as “OR” with Dickerson. Duncan still has a little work to keep Malecki from claiming the starting Nose Tackle as well.
Awesome. Why didn’t we think of that? As a matter of fact, we need to get a scholarship offer out to this guy ASAP:
