4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 Leading off It's depth chart Wednesday! All 12 teams are in action this week -- no byes. Actually, it will be like this for the next two weeks. So that's exciting! Here are the most current depth charts for all the teams in action this week, save UCLA, which doesn't post a weekly depth chart. As always, I'll note any significant changes below. Arizona Arizona State (page 16 of the game notes) California (page 10 of the game notes) Colorado Oregon (page 10 of the game notes) Oregon State (page 27 of the game notes) Stanford USC (page 17 of the game notes) Utah (page 11 of the game notes) Washington (page nine of the game notes) Washington State (page 11 of the game notes)
Notes
At ASU, De'Marieya Nelson is off the defensive side of the ball and is only listed as a tight end and not a "devil" backer. Todd Graham said he'll be limited to just a few defensive snaps a game (see story below). At Cal, Noah Westerfield or Harrison Wilfley will start at defensive end for the injured Brennan Scarlett, and Khalfani Muhammad is back in the kick return rotation with Tre Watson for the injured Trevor Davis. At OSU, Jordan Villamin will start in place of Richard Mullaney, who is likely done for the season with an elbow injury. Some flipping on the OSU offensive line with injuries. Sean Harlow moves to left tackle for the injured Gavin Andrews, opening up right tackle for Dustin Stanton. Lavonte Barnett is listed as the starting left defensive end. At Stanford, Harrison Phillips and Nate Lohn will fill in for DT David Parry, who is doubtful with a leg injury. At Washington, John Ross is listed ahead of Kasen Williams. At Washington State, Peyton Pelluer is listed ahead of Darryl Monroe at the mike linebacker spot. Per reports, Monroe has been limited in practice.
Heisman updates Usually in this space every Wednesday, we've been linking the straw poll from Heismanpundit.com. However Chris Huston, friend of the blog who runs that site, has put it on hold while he does some work for the official Heisman site. We wish him the best. So today we'll update you with the ESPN.com Heisman poll. Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota still sits behind Mississippi State's Dak Prescott. But he closed the gap last week with his performance against Washington. Here's how the latest poll shakes out, followed by their total points:
Dak Prescott (47) Marcus Mariota (42) Melvin Gordon (25) Tie: Amari Cooper (9)
Jameis Winston (9)
Prescott and Mariota were the only players receiving first-place votes. Looks like it's a two-man race to the finish. News/notes/team reports
WSU presents an opportunity for Arizona's defensive backs to shine. Todd Graham likes his defensive line rotation. Sonny Dykes has some high praise for Mariota. Sefo Liufau shoulders the blame for the USC loss. Some Mark Helfrich video talking Cal, special teams and scout teams. The Beavers need the injured Mullaney to stop moping and start coaching. David Shaw takes a lot of the blame for Stanford's offensive woes. Jim Mora updating the status of Paul Perkins. A USC recruiting update. Devontae Booker was named Athlon's national player of the week. Some post-practice videos with Jaydon Mickens and Joshua Perkins. The Cougars lose a running back.
Just for fun A cool behind-the-scenes photo journal of UCLA's trip to Cal. Bravo, Oregon fans. Bravo. The Trojans will rock these shiny new lids on Saturday.
