How about a little "above the line" depth chart?

I love Brent's usage of above the line and below the line in terms of who can play scrimmage snaps and who can't. I am going to do a little projecting here and say this is what I see going into conference play.

This is not a two-deep, it is guys who will see real time. I am cautiously optimistic that we'll play more guys on defense and at WR. I rewatched the Pitt game yesterday, and even in the second game of the year we were GASSED in the fourth. We absolutely have to play more people.

Lastly, you don't rotate OL... so while we have depth there, especially on the interior, can't really project that because it would require injury.

Across the board if we can take 15-30 snaps off the starters legs, it will make a world of difference.
