Depth Chart vs Middle Tennessee

[Uncle]

Some shuffling in the secondary. Alex Morris in the two-deep for the first time (could really use his hitting if we’re gonna rely on our DBs to tackle this much). Murphy twins missing from the two deep, two weeks in a row for Grayson. 

Not expecting much re-shuffling at the top of the depth chart going forward.

Still looking on the list for Oscar.

Wouldn't mind seeing more Jevin Murray, because even if he's minutely better at taking angles, that would help immensely.

EDIT:   Glad to see Stout is back and starting.   I left the game on Saturday when he got hurt and Charlotte scored on the exact same route against his replacement.

Got a couple true freshman starting. Maybe Littrell is starting to see these highly recruited young kids can actually play a little bit

Why are they highly recruited?  Because some for profit service seys so?  Methinks you give them too much credit and they in reality don't have a clue.  Me myself looks at offers in particular P5 and G5.

Who's offer list is not inspiring you?

No one in particular it's just I don't trust the rating services because they profit off of giving players higher rankings.

I fail to understand your criticism.  The two star ranking has basically gone away for any football players with D1 offers.  So the numerical ratings is the basis for comparison. 

That ranking is primarily based on who offers who.  I doubt most of the people who rate players, despite what they state, spend much effort ranking players below 4 stars.  

I don't know how a rating service profits from giving players higher rankings.  

That implies that fans won't look at ranking that give out poor rating to their team's recruits.  These services are just about monopolies, they are not afraid of losing viewers to other services based on their very rudimentary evaluations.

Murray and Kealon Jackson are the two redshirt freshmen I most want to see more of going forward. I really think Jackson would be an upgrade over Burns and Murray was such a good high school player. Lot of highly recruited guys in the secondary and we can’t play them all, but would like to see him get a look if Whitlock is not going to start turning his head around.

Also would like to see Khatib Lyles but I doubt we do. Looks almost like he’s taking a second redshirt.

What happened to Adaway and his almost 9 yards per carry?

I don't think I've seen the Murphy brothers on the sideline the last three games. Last two for sure.  Also, I haven't seen Rucker and Kason Martin on the sideline in as long of time.

rumor has him with a broken bone in hand

[Monkeypox]

Really need some size on this defense. I know some of that is Covid and some is injuries/losses from last year, but this defense looks like a 2-3-6 or a 3-1-7 to me.

Kason is now #80, plays mostly on special teams.

[UNTLifer]

Half of our starters are underclassmen which is a huge amount.  Add in the FR/So that are backups and it gets even crazier.  I think we forget how young this team is.  The talent is there, they just need experience.

Murphy twins were there for SMU when Howell started over them. Rucker I think has been out the last two but Kason Martin has been there. He’s just wearing number 80 these days

Am I missing something? I thought he was #3 in the QB lineup.

Maybe Gaddie is on the same ST squad and so Kason needs a diff number for those plays? Proud of him for playing ST to contribute if that is the case.

Except he drew a roughing the punter penalty to extend Charlotte's first drive.

Well that is what happens when you play a QB on ST! 🤣

But still pretty cool he is willing to contribute however he can.

I agree and should have included that in my post above.  I love that he is willing to step up where needed.

KD Davis came out of the last game in serious pain.. unable to put any weigh on his leg. I am surprised to see him on the this list.

Thought for sure he was done for the year with how he was writhing in pain & unable to walk.

That wasn’t Kason. He isn’t that fast. I think they had an old roster. The player that roughed the punter was wearing 17 or 18. If I remember correctly it was Ogunmakin.
