One thing that is notable is the fact that the depth chart goes beyond the two deep for the first time. Other than that, the only major note of interest is that senior Sheroid Evans is listed first as a co-starter at cornerback with sophomore Holton Hill, who has been rather out of the rotation, but was listed as the starter there for the UTEP game.
It's also difficult to account for whether the injured players who are listed here will all actually play, though Strong sounded confident after the UTEP game that he would get most of them back.
