Y. FUBeAR is right. I did a lil looking and this year they have updated their depth chart. It may not be 100% right but it's better.FUBeAR wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 8:39 amThey’ve been updating it this year. Still full of errors. I’m sure the Player ‘backing up himself’ is because of a failure to update the new backup’s name in the file. They have over 120 on their roster. I’m sure they have a 5th or 6th Team Player that they could have dropped in there.The Jackal wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 7:32 amUnless they've changed, Samford tends to produce one depth chart at the beginning of the season and never changes it publicly.gofurman wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 10:11 pmSamford. A little hurt - never seen this ... After two injuries at FS they have a guy listedas Backing up himself "Former all state Koi Freeman was definitely our starter. Pettway, a 5th year Sr. had experience in playing that position, but was hurt in the opening game, and hasn't returned. Since FSU I believe we have had 3 different starters at FS. I just looked at game notes, and the player who I think is a former walk-on is listed as backing up himself at FS. I also see where we will start a true Fr. at SS. Definitely an injury depleted secondary, but next man up."

He's right. They have a FS listed as backing up himself if you page down the two deep. Also possibly their center number 77 Lee and LB nbr 24 Atkinson may be out. So a few injuries on defense. Mainly in secondary.
Still, they out gained FSU by 100 yards. I don't care how bad FSU was is. That's a bunch of 5 star athletes. Samford put up over 500 yards on FSU. FSU gained 460 or so
So, if you see a depth chart they publish, it's usually their preseason depth chart.
They also have the following listed as the HT/WT for 1 of their OLmen...
(6-6, 3-7, Jr.)
They have definitely been bitten by the injury bug in their Secondary & they have some talent issues back there also. Glass #31 is an excellent CB & that Former walk-on Safety, Barton #19, has been doing much better than the others they have had back there. They had a CB on the 2 deep in the past (who is no longer on there), who could not make a play without ridiculously interfering, including against Shorter. (Maybe he should play for Yale...but that’s another story.) I suspect we are going to test them a good bit back there. FUBeAR would find #31 & go elsewhere with the ball though. They are pretty good up front. NG Roberts #97 has been very strong & we know Gooden can play. The other 2 DLmen aren’t bad either. 1 of their LB’s is a strong Player - #34 Harris & the LB they have playing now due to injury, Floyd #26, has been productive. Overall, on D, they are relatively inexperienced, if not, necessarily, “young.” They have quite a few upperclassmen on the 2 deep that have not played much meaningful football until this season...but neither had FU’s QB...and we see how that’s working out...so...gonna be a good one Sat.
Starting C 77 may be out ..... and LB 24 may be out too (thus LB 26 that FUbear mentions is playing now). To FUBeAR point the most injuries are in the secondary. The FS and SS are probably hurt. Numbers. 10 and 23. Now possibly playing at safety are numbers 19 and 13. A walk on and a freshman. Combined w losing Sulaman (?) at LB and several others from last year their D should hopefully be weaker this year. Their O is freakin scary
