How'd we stack up?
There's still a question about some of the backup spots; notably, quarterback, which includes the possibility of true freshman Brett Rypien burning a redshirt to play this season. Jeremy "Weapon" McNichols and Chancellor James are named starters at RB and safety. Archie Lewis bumped veteran Jehren Ertel from the top right tackle spot (or should that read the top spot at right tackle--no such thing as top-right tackle). The coaches really want to get the right player for the right position, and nobody's job is safe if they don't produce results. A few more true freshman are listed as 2nd and 3rd string, including Akilian Butler at slot receiver and Tyler Horton at defensive back.
