... with the game notes. It's not always totally accurate, but it's usually pretty close. It'll be interesting to see if they put it with a 4-3 group on defense or nickel. Nickel would make the most sense, considering it sounds like EKU will be a spread.
We're assuming the first-team defense will be Panfil, Wilson, Replogle, Larkin, Bailey, Bentley, Roberts, Hunte, Norwood, Clark and Mosley. If that's the case, that's, basically, seven first-time(ish) starters. I say "ish" because Roberts started three games last year, but they were at safety. He's nickel now. And Hunte has two starts, but neither was followed by extensive snaps.
Our guess on offense: Patterson, King, Barron, Roos, McCann, Herdman, Posey, De. Yancey, Young, Jones and Blough. Could come out in a four-receiver look, too, with Phillips for Herdman. Would be three first-time(ish) starters there with McCann, Patterson and Barron. Barron's only career start was at guard and he's center now; of Patterson's three starts last season, two were at RT, and he's LT now.
