From everything I've read, the starters look 100% correct - except for Steven Threet, who I think will be the backup QB.
Zirbel should obviously be removed from the two-deep, since he's gone for the season.

Kinda surprised to see Stonum as a starter. Also kinda surprised that neither Shaw nor McGuffie cracked the two-deep but Odoms did and that Threet is listed as the starter over Sheridan after everything I had read about Sheridan looking better in practice.

see how Hemingway is behind Babb and Savoy, that has to be a mistake.
I think Stonum would be better starting in the slot than Clemons based on speed/agility.
Anyone know the deal with Mike Cox - I think he is the only frosh that has not been mentioned once during the offseason.

New depth chart out on freep. Supposedly UM's officially released depth chart. Some interesting notes. No Clemons listed, Mathews OR Stonum, no Mouton, McGuffie or Shaw as TB.

I don't know if that means that Brown and Minor have been struggling because of the injuries or if McGuffie and Shaw are really that good. Hope it's the latter but I don't know. I'd rather have Minor in there than the freshman, at least he's been there before.
We'll just have to see I guess. Depth chart could always change before gametime.

Rivals has the 2 deep up - for RB all 4 guys have an "or" listed.
The thing I have to wonder is if Savoy (who IIRC was a pretty decent recruit) was in the doghouse - because I only remeber him playing in garbage time and now all of a sudden he is a starter over Clemons and Hemingway who as true frosh last year probably got more PT than he did.
Also interesting of note is that one backup CB spot is Boo-Boo "or" The Doug Dutch Bus.

FWIW, Rivals thinks that the defensive backfield situation COULD be difficult to put on a depth chart. Essentially:
Trent and Warren at CB, Brown and Harrison at S. In nickel situations, Harrison would slide down to play the 3rd corner, while Stewart takes his spot at Safety. Booboo would be the dime.
