UConn Huskies head football coach Randy Edsall has released his depth chart for the USF Bulls game on Saturday at the Rent. And there are multiple changes from the season-opening two-deep.
The biggest change on the two-deep for this week comes at quarterback where Bryant Shirreffs takes over as the starter for David Pindell. It was Shirreffs who led them back from a 20-7 deficit against Holy Cross to the win.
At running back, Nate Hopkins moves out of an “OR” situation with Jason Thompson and into an “OR” situation with Arkeel Newsome as the starter there. At wide receiver, Aaron McLean is the only backup to Quayvon Skanes. Previously, Tyler Davis and Donovan Williams had been there.
Defensively, Vontae Diggs has been practicing and is listed as the starter at one of the linebacker spots. He’s backed up Darrian Beavers and Eddie Hahn. Despite being injured, Junior Joseph is practicing as well, and is still listed as the starter in the middle. And with Diggs back, Cameron Stapleton and Chris Britton are in “OR” situation at the other outside linebacker.
At defensive back, Marshé Terry and Brice McAllister switch spots with Terry now the starter. The punting situation is now secure as well with Brett Graham the starter.
