UNLV's football team released its depth chart for Saturday's 4:30 p.m. PDT season opener at Northern Illinois.
Here's what stood out:
— The depth chart appears to show a 3-3-5 defensive alignment with one tackle listed and a starting nickelback. However, the tackle position will rotate players at two spots, keeping the base a 4-3. The nickelback also isn't necessarily a starting position, but the Rebels will play a good amount of 4-2-5 depending on the situation and the opponent.
— Sophomore Chris Lopez is listed first at right guard, and senior Eric Noone is atop the depth chart on the left side.
