In prior years the depth charts in the game notes have been just reproduced, the same chart, week after week, without any reflection of changes that might have happened. This year they seem to be trying to make changes to it, yet is seems to be seriously different from reality even then. For example, there are guys on it who never play, and guys not on it who play all the time. As an example, Nathan Carpenter has never appeared on it yet, but plays regularly. Meanwhile Garrett Alcorn shows up as the #2 LG, and Austin Pleasants shows as the #2 LT, but neither have played this year, so far as I know.

May answer is, don't take the depth chart to seriously.
