UofL Sports.com website has the updated Depth Chart.
Of course this thing is probably going to change between now and next weekend when the season starts (that's weird to say?) but I think this is interesting....and I will tell you why.....after the jump
First and foremost, there is still no certain QB. Apparently Froman has been a little dinged up and Burke has been getting a lot of the reps in practice (
No real surprises on offense. TE has three newcomers: Cam Graham, Steph Ball and Mike Fennerty (all TEs deserve shortened first names) and it looks like Byron Stingily has overtaken Jeff Adams at LT, which is interesting since Adams started last year and should be the most experienced returning lineman.
On defense, it looks like LD Scott has been moved back to DT, which is good. Surprised Savoy > Gnat although I imagine Gnat will still see plenty of time. I hope they know what they are doing moving Dexter around, especially since he burned his RS season last year.
Terence Simien is someone I've never heard of, but here's hoping he really is better than Dan Covington (no offense man), and the CJ profile of Chaz Thompson from last week was promising. Preston Pace has gotten about 1/10000th of the hype as the last JUCO CB to wear the #9 jersey, and I'd be willing to settle for an equal career. I really wish the depth chart would reflect Heath's position as Rover, because that is a much more fun way to describe someone than "SLB."
Overall, nothing too surprising, and with so many newcomers, it is hard to really tell much about anything on defense until the games actually matter - beginning sometime around Week 3 in Lexington.
It's almost here. I'm actually excited. We haven't lost any games yet!

Wow, can’t believe Stingily is ahead of Adams. I’m not sure if I should be excited or worried about that.
Also, I wonder how long it will be until Joe Evinger gets in the two deep.
And like you, I had never even heard of Terence Simien. We’ll see how that goes.
I agree.
I can see us coming out of nowhere to get 8 wins or something this season in a down Big East season.
I can also see use going 2-10 and setting fire to something.
Big East
Definitely. While the Big East being so down this year doesn’t do much to help the conference’s prestige, it is probably (hopefully) a blessing to us. Call me a homer, but I honestly think if our secondary gels and SOMEONE emerges as a serviceable QB that we might swing 7-9 wins.
Of course, even though we are in the worst BCS conference possibly ever, I could also see us losing 7-9 games, as well. I predict a riot if that were to happen.
Ah, preseason.

It has some Southern romanticism to it, but also a Northern progressivism, this weird urban island in the middle of the state of Kentucky...For us, Louisville and the surrounding areas are the center of massive creativity and massive weirdness." - Jim James, My Morning Jacket
