- The big change at wide receiver is that Marquise Goodwin is now the starter at the Sub B position, displacing senior James Kirkendoll.
- At tight end, Barett Matthews is now the starter over Greg Smith after being listed as a co-starter there for several weeks. This despite another dropped pass from Matthews against UCLA.
- No changes along the offensive line, but it is possible that some of the young players will again receive more early playing time.
- DJ Monroe and Fozzy Whittaker are now the co-starters at tailback, so Monroe is your new Flavor of the Week at running back -- at least the coaches are recognizing the importance of getting the ball to the fastest player on the team. How's that for innovative all you Greg Davis haters?!?!? #sarcasmfont
- After again failing to show the slightest ability to play the zone read, Dravannti Johnson has been demoted to back-up strongside linebacker -- Emmanuel Acho is the new starter there.
- Dustin Earnest and Jared Norton are now the co-starters at middle linebacker.
