Nah, Brackens, #14, it shows he didn't redshirt last year. Swear I saw him on the field a little. Maybe it was only the UNI game.

Pretty sure played special teams last year. Hence no redshirt. Not sure if he played at safety or not though.

He played some in about every game I believe. Don't remember the PFs though and he didn't start. Morgan had personal fouls and did start though. That's why I thought that.

Yeah a little bit. He will have to be ready to start next year I think.

Brackens on 2-deep as SS. He did play last year, but primarily special teams. The confusion is about who started a couple times & who received a personal foul and that was indeed CJ Morgan, who had at least one pf (Texas game).

Correct, I am an idiot.

Patience needs to be key. Lots of guys will have to be in it knowing there time to shine will be when they are Jrs & Srs. With depth, that means any younger guys will have to really earn it, and when they do that will be a very good thing (meaning they will have to be superior athletically).

Horne was dinged up back in Spring ball, and he was quite effective last year. Good to see him back in the No. 1's cause he has earned it if he is there (as anyone has). Chris Young looked very good the limited times I have seen clips from Fall practices (other please elaborate about him in Spring - didn't get a chance to see then). Ricky Howard received high praise from Rhoads in a recent interview, so no surprise there seeing him @ 1. Defensive ends have a lot of responsibilities, so maturity & intelligence key there - so no surprise a RS-Jr & RS-Sr lead the no. 1's there. Nice having safeties each at or over 210 lbs - as long as they are able to run well too. With chemistry, this team looks to be salty.

As to Bueker, apparently we are going the Jango Fett role. We are cloning him in order to dominate the galaxy of Big XII and all of CFB. Have to like 6'4", 229 pound holders & backup punters. Also cool is that starting punter is 203 pounds & our Freshman (would-be?) kicker is a 217 pounder. Yancey has em all dancin

To you, AllBig12Drinker: No problem - just pointing it out. Didn't mean to come across as some big slam or questioning intelligence. If so, my bad.

Wow..... was really hoping we would see some new blood at WR after seeing hte last few years.

We will have st least four RBs see time. We will have about 10 receivers see time. All three TEs will see time. The depth chart means little in terms of playing time. Situations will determine more than anything. On defense, Washington will be on the field all of the time with Reeves, Watson, and probably Givens. Knott and Klein will be on the field all of the time with George/Broomfield and Morgan rotating. The Dline will shuffle but other than that I don't see the defense changing a whole lot outside of the SAM/hybrid/safety/whatever you want to call it. The only move could be Broomfield playing all of the time but moving from SS to SAM in passing situation and Givens coming in.

Much better post, cydline approved!

Both are #2 at their positions on the depth chart. Brackens at SS and Morgan at SLB.

4 receivers (3 RS FR and 1 former QB) who haven't played a Big 12 snap at WR aren't enough for you?

Like you were hoping all our true freshman would be good enough to start?

Yeah, all of them are going to play and the receptions will be spread around a lot differently than last year. Week one starters don't mean much.
I am pretty surprised that Chris Young is listed as a starter since he hasn't had many touches while at ISU so far. Apparently he is stepping up big time for his last year. I expect to see a ton out of Gary by the end of the year as well.
