Biggest surprises with Syracuse football's week-one depth chart vs. No. 24 Tennessee

Syracuse football didn't release a week-one depth chart earlier in the week, but the program did come out with one on Saturday, just a few hours before the Orange was set to face No. 24 Tennessee in Atlanta.

To me, the biggest surprise is that freshman Antoine Deslauriers will start at one of the linebacker spots. He won that job over redshirt senior Derek McDonald. That's a notable development. Gary Bryant III, a redshirt junior transfer from South Dakota, is the other starting LB.

The Orange's starting offensive line: Redshirt sophomore Trevion Mack at left tackle, redshirt senior TJ Ferguson at left guard, redshirt senior Austin Collins at center, redshirt junior Joe Cruz at right guard and redshirt senior Da'Metrius Weatherspoon at right tackle.
