No huge surprises, but a couple of minor tidbits that should tweak our collective interests.
Let's get right to the good stuff.
First, the offense and defense:
Couple of notes here, although mostly nothing we didn't already know or anticipate...
- Chris Carson gets the nod at running back and true freshman Jeff Carr nails down the 3rd string, which means he'll get some carries, especially as the season goes on;
- Blake Jarwin and Jeremy Seaton get the "or" tag at Cowboy back;
- Motekiai Maile gets the starting DT spot vacated by Villi Levini's injury, but true freshman Darrion Daniels, who's had a great fall camp, will see playing time at #2;
- Jordan Burton, as expected, will start at the "star" LB position;
- True freshman Jalen McCleskey gets the backup role behind David Glidden, which means he will definitely see the field on offense;
I have to say, as I look over this list, I feel like the Cowboys have depth and talent at almost every position.
