UConn Huskies @ Vanderbilt Commodores

In looking at the depth chart for the UConn Huskies football team for this Saturday’s game against the Vanderbilt Commodores, there are not many changes at all. In fact, the ones that have changed are on the defensive side of the ball and special teams.

As Paul Pasqualoni mentioned during Monday’s Big East Coaches Teleconference, the quarterbacks are still in the same situation they were before. He also expects D.J. Shoemate to be okay and play. That should be interesting either way especially with Lyle McCombs rushing for 141 yards and four touchdowns.

As for the changes, with Jesse Joseph out for the foreseeable future, Teddy Jennings has stepped into the starting spot at defensive end. He had been backing up Joseph but got the start last Saturday with Joseph out. Redshirt freshman B.J. McBryde will back up Jennings.

The one change on special teams sees Taylor Mack taking over the punt return duties from Nick Williams. Mack was backing up Williams last week along with Gary Wilburn.

Everything else on the depth chart is same from last week’s depth chart against Fordham.
