Since 2005, TCU has started 10, 8, 9, 8, 9, 11, 8, 10, 7, 4, 3, 5, 4, 5, 5, 3, 4, 4, 5, and 5 white players. They hold steady at 5 again this season.

Not a lot to remark about Sonny Dykes' team two years removed from the playoff final. Just the little things like a black two-deep at offensive tackle and a white two-deep at interior line tell you that this team is sticking to the formula.

The one noteworthy thing about this roster is that there are 12 white wide receivers. Half of those are surely walk-on charity cases that won't ever see the field. But JP Richardson returns as the starting slot, Jack Bech comes back from injury after a promising start last year, and Blake Nowell is a backup on the outside. It would be nice if these and a couple of the other players could find their way into the box score each week.

Starters:
QB: Josh Hoover
WR: JP Richardson
OL: Carson Bruno, James Brockermeyer, Cade Bennett

Backups:
QB: Ken Seals, Hauss Hejny
WR: Blake Nowell, Jack Bech, Keagan Cunningham, Sutton Lee
OL: Remington Strickland, Colton Deery, Robby Rochester
TE: Chase Curtis

LB: Johnny Hodges, Cooper McDonald

QB Ken Seals was looking like the best QB Vanderbilt had since Jay Cutler. It's a shame the new head coach essentially derailed his career there. Wouldn't mind seeing him get the starting nod over Hoover.

At least TCU has a small cadre of WRs including Jack Bech who I had totally forgotten about.
