Didn't realize Stellato was still around. Rooting for Jackson Arnold too. Certainly a favorite in the MWC!

Good write-up, Twenty-Two. I did a Nevada at Las Vegas write-up last week but it wasn't posted, yet. Glad you did it and posted it. We got the same results, except I had only 4 White starters on the O-Line, so I like yours better.

Reason I bring this up, is I want to share with you (and others) a new site posting depth charts: https://www.puntandrally.com/teamroster.php?team=UNLV

At puntandrally, Cam Santee is considered a lock to start and listed as their top LB. And is their only defensive player that got an "A" against the "run" and (A-) for the "rush". Ourlads also has Santee starting. <link

As far as Ourlads is concerned, I did Florida State jointly with Leonardfan. I was, also, surprised Blake Nichelson wasn't listed as a starter by Ourlads.

Very important point regarding Ourlads depth charts: For the vast majority of teams they list only 2 starting LB's and 5 starting DB's....actually, to be more accurate, Ourlads lists only 2 starting LB's and 3 starting CB's for most teams.

Right there, three starting CB's (instead of 3 LB's) is going drop the numbers of White defensive starters for about 35 to 45 of the 135 F.B.S. schools, I assume?
