UConn Huskies head coach Paul Pasqualoni has released his depth chart for Saturday night’s game against the Buffalo Bulls and there are some changes from last week’s against Iowa State. Most of it is shuffling of positions along the offensive line.
The odd man out of the changes along offensive front is LG Gary Bardzak, who is listed now as the backup to Moe Petrus at center. Jimmy Bennett was the backup at left tackle last week and is now the starter. Kevin Friend moves from right tackle to left guard with Mike Ryan going from left tackle to right tackle.
It does look as though DE Jesse Joseph could return to the team after a knee injury as he is listed in an “OR” situation there with Teddy Jennings who has fulled in admirably.
True freshman Deshonn Foxx is now listed alongside Nick Williams at kick returner. Foxx replaces Byron Jones on the depth chart there. Williams is now listed as the starter at punt returner with Taylor Mack backing him up. Last week’s depth chart had it the other way around.
Of course, there’s still no change at quarterback as Scott McCummings, Johnny McEntee and Michael Nebrich are all listed in an “OR” situation. Honestly, one of these guys need to step up this week otherwise it’s going to be a long season behind center for the Huskies.
