No big surprises on Illini depth chart

Illinois released its depth chart for the season opener this evening and there aren't any real surprises, although Nate Bussey has taken one of the linebacker spots that some thought might have gone to Russell Ellington.

Also, Antonio James and Clay Nurse both are listed as starting defensive ends along with Doug Pilcher. The running backs are listed as if any one of four players could start. And always frustrating: No return men are listed.
