Illini football depth chart released
August 27, 2012 2:05 PM
+ Supo Sanni not listed. STEVEHULL not listed. So if our two starting safeties are injured and out this week, hello 450 passing yards from Alex Carder. Come on, rain.
+ Jonathan Brown is listed as the weakside linebacker and Houston Bates is listed as the middle linebacker. An eye-opening revelation, if it's not a misprint. Not a big deal -- as we've discussed here before, we basically have a weakside middle linebacker and a strongside middle linebacker in this defense. But still very surprising to me that Bates is the Mike.
+ Starting O-line of Thornton-Hill-Pocic-Karras-Heitz. Well, I had that one completely wrong. Pocic back to center to make room for both Karras and Hill at guard. Love that, as I'm a huge fan of both (although a bigger Hill fan). Also, no Simon Cvijanovic on the depth chart? Is he injured? Scott McDowell isn't listed either -- is he injured too?
