Depth chart released
The depth chart was released Tuesday.
Lot of "ors" at running back. It's Marlon Lucky or Roy Helu or Quentin Castille. Take that for what it's worth. Shawn Watson has said on repeated occasions Lucky is the starter.
Interesting finds: Sean Fisher is the backup at BUCK linebacker behind Tyler Wortman. Will Compton is the backup to Phillip Dillard at MIKE linebacker.
Fisher and Compton are two of three true freshmen who showed up on the depth chart. Ben Cotton is listed as the fourth-string tight end.
Mike Smith is listed as the starter at left tackle, ahead of Jaivorio Burkes who missed two weeks of fall camp because of high blood pressure. Lydon Murtha is the starter at right tackle.
At right cornerback, Anthony West gets the nod for now over Prince Amukamara.
And despite all the chatter about offensive lineman Ricky Henry this fall camp, the junior newcomer was not on the two-deep.
