[oklavol]

www.utsports.com | Official Web Site of The University of Tennessee Men's Athletic Department published the depth chart vs Cal.

Here are the listed starters:

Offense

TE-Chris Brown or Brad Cottam
OT-Aarron Sears
Chris Scott
OG-David Ligon
Ramone Foster
C-Michael Frogg
Josh McNeil
OG-Anthony Parker

WR-Robert Meachum
Lucas Taylor
WR-Brett Smith
Austin Rodgers

QB-Eric Ainge
Jonathon Crompton
RB-Arian Foster
Montario Hardesty
LaMarcus Coker
FB-Corey Anderson
David Holbert

Looks like #4 WR is Brisco, #5 WR is Taylor, and #6 WR is Rodgers. Coker is playing behind Hardesty and Foster. The depth on the offensive line doesnt seem as bad as first thought.

Defense:

DE-Turk McBride
Xavier Mitchell
DT-Justin Harrell
Dan Williams
Demonte Bolden
DT-Matt McGothlin
J.T. Mapu
DE-Antonio Reynolds
Michael Ayers

CB- Jonathon Wade
Antonio Gaines
CB-Inquoris Johnson
Ricardo Kemp
FS-Jonathon Hefney

SS- Antwan Stewart
Demetrice Morley

Disappointed Morley,McCoy, and Mapu are not starting.

Hancock isn't even listed as a top 6 WR?

I imagine he is red-shirting.

Not according to what Fulmer has said. He listed Hancock in with the seven or so guys that would play as freshman. Anything can change though so we'll see how it turns out.

I noticed the depth chart yesterday as well. I noticed the Krieg guy from Duke isn't listed in the two deep for Cal as well.

Thats surprising Hancock isn't listed anywhere. He's not even listed as a 3rd team WR.

So is Demonte Bolden playing 3rd team DT behind Dan Williams.

Forgot to add:
Hefney punt returner

Taylor and Morley kick returners

Bolden is surprising.

It's funny too becuase I thought for sure Rogers was going to return punts. Fulmer mentioned Heffney to doing too much and spreading himself too thin.

[ardent enthusiast]

Defensive line doesn't worry me as much. We'll probably be subbing quite a bit there.

[McCoy 5 LB]

Man we need Morley to return punts. Get him some practice kid has the speed and the most agility ive seen in a while. But i think Heffney can take it to the house. Id love to see a runback kickoff or punt that we score off of instead of getting scored on.

suprised about Hancock myself...he apparently has really impressed....
suprised too about Bolden...word wasn't too good on him early on..he must have really come on lately. and that's a good thing if he's anywhere near the hype.

I would'nt worry, some guys I think that have a butt load of talent, they like to get the lay of the land and settle in before bringing their A game.

Cal has 6 freshman on their two-deep starting roster.

[jakez4ut]

yeah, i just hate to hear about a guy with talent and never see it...reminds me of J. Lewis in 97....heard about him....didn't see him until AFTER the uf game against Ole Miss...and i was like...why in the world didn't he see the feild LAST WEEK!!!!

I followed Bolden while he was at Tyner in Chatt. and many people thought (down here) that it was his size that made him dominate not his skill. It is good to see him doing well in Knoxville.

Has Brown had a bad preseason or has Cottam just had a great preseason. I bet we see changes in the starters week to week because of the healthy competition more than we have seen in the past.
