Amazing...only 6 of the entire 85 scholarship players are out of eligibility after this year...amazing. Have we ever had a younger team? To think we have a chance of winning 8 or 9 games this year is incredible..

Also, Will Campbell and Q Wash still in their same old places.

Edit: Press conference says this is wrong.

"This has been dropped on the premium boards" was in the earlier post, but since I've never paid for "premium" access maybe that meant something other than what I assumed.

Interesting that Obi was listed ahead of Demens for Iowa. So much for official depth charts, I guess.

I posted this in the original Vinopal thread but I think it probably belongs here instead:

 

 

Before we get ahead of ourselves, I just want to take a quick look at where this rumor came from.

Correct me if I am wrong, but, this came from a poster at Scout who posted on their premium message board that he heard this was happening but never said from where he heard it was happening.  Tom Beaver said that scout would take a look at it to see if it is true.

Then, someone created a thread about this on Rivals after presumably reading it on either Scout or Mgoboard and then that thread was quickly deleted by their mods.  No Mod on either Rivals or Scout has commented on this rumor other than to say "we will look into it".

Today's depth chart looks the same per Tim's twitter.  C Gordon at FS with Vinopal at 2nd string and then T Gordon or C Johnson at Spur.

Rich Rod said that Will Campbell was the only major position change.  However, he also said that our safeties are prepared to play either position and that the Freshman DB's will be taking on an increased role in the secondary.  

They could obviously be trying not to show their hand to PSU and Vinopal could still get the start.  However, I bet Vinopal just gets some increased playing time.

I was actually excited to see what Vinopal could do back there and how Cam Gordon would do at spur (I believe that's correct but I always get confused with the names of these safety hybrid positions)

I don't expect Vinopal to start, but the posted depth chart isn't always 100% accurate, either.  Some playing-time decisions aren't made until late in the week.

1.  Posting a depth chart on Monday is standard practice.  Most of the time it is accurate, but sometimes there are situations where two players are in close competition, and things change over the course of the week. 

2.  FWIW = "For what it's worth".
