PrintThe Scranton Times-Tribune wanted to take a crack at predicting the PSU depth chart. For the most part everything is okay. However, when you leave this man out of the starting lineup: 
you obviously don't know what you are talking about.
| Pos. | First team | Second team | Third team |
| WR | 2 Chaz Powell |
14 A.J. Price | Curtis Drake |
| LT | 73 Dennis Landolt | 50 DeOn'tae Pannell | 72 Nerraw McCormack |
| LG | 77 Lou Eliades |
54 Matt Stankiewitch |
67 Quinn Barham |
| C | 61 Stefen Wisniewski |
67 Quinn Barham |
68 Doug Klopacz |
| RG | 74 Johnnie Troutman |
60 James Terry |
67 Quinn Barham |
| RT | 50 DeOn'tae Pannell |
75 Eric Shrive | 79 Ako Poti |
| TE | 82 Mickey Shuler | 10 Andrew Quarless |
80 Andrew Szczerba |
| SLOT | 83 Brett Brackett | 5 Graham Zug | 88 Jon Ditto |
| QB | 17 Daryll Clark | 12 Kevin Newsome | 11 Matt McGloin |

| TB | 22 Evan Royster | 21 Stephfon Green | 3 Brandon Beachum |
| WR | 6 Derek Moye | Justin Brown | Shawney Kersey |
| Pos. | First team | Second team | Third team |
| LE | 81 Jack Crawford | 56 Eric Latimore | 39 Tom Golarz |
| LT | 91 Jared Odrick | 71 Devon Still | 99 Brandon Ware |
| RT | 85 Ollie Ogbu |
92 Chima Okoli | 55 Tom McEowen |
| RE | 44 Kevion Latham |
5 Jerome Hayes | 15 Bani Gbadyu |
| OLB | 11 Navorro Bowman |
34 Nate Stupar |
15 Bani Gbadyu |
| MLB | 43 Josh Hull | 48 Chris Colasanti | 31 Michael Zordich |
| OLB | 45 Sean Lee |
42 Michael Mauti | 33 Mike Yancich |
| LCB RCB |
8 D'Anton Lynn 4 Knowledge Timmons |
1 A.J. Wallace 20 Devin Fentress |
Stephon Morris Derrick Thomas |
| HERO | 10 Nick Sukay |
6 Gerald Hodges |
13 Andrew Dailey |
| FS | 28 Drew Astorino |
7 Cedric Jeffries | 38 Tyler Ahrenhold |
Not sure i agree with the Sukay pick at HERO...I think Hodges will have that to himself. I do agree with AJ Wallace being a 2nd teamer....However i think the LB's will be Lee, Bowman, Mauti....sorry Josh...you had a nice run..

I'm not sure how to feel about that
On the one hand, the defensive coaches have been pretty consistent with playing the kid who ‘we just can’t keep off the field’ (Soph Puz, Soph Lee). And keeping Mauti off the field instead of moving Lee inside over Hull would be counterintuitive to that tradition. Not to mention pretty effing disappointing.
I’m trying to tell myself that they won’t go that route.

I always hate rooting against Hull
but I really think Mauti / Stupar need significant playing time. Plus, having the extra speed on the field will be important, since I am assuming they will br reluctant to go to nickle given the secondary depth (similar to the way Bradley would rarely come out of 4-3 with Poz, Connar, Shaw).
I agree
He’s a solid player, but he just isn’t the monster that Mauti and Stupar will/are going to be.
They've also got
The Oline jacked up from left to right.

Another thing
When the defense takes the field for the first series against Akron, I totally want to see Jerome Hayes running out there.

...and not injuring himself in the process.

it's good to see eliadis getting his chance finally
went to high school with him, he’s a good guy.

He needs to stay
healty too. Aren’t injuries really the only reason he hasn’t seen the time everybody expected.

this is true
i remember seeing him one thanksgiving break with a boot on his foot, i believe that was his first year on campus.
ACTUALLY, i ran into him on my 21st birthday at the lion’s den. bought me a shot. i was going to say i can’t believe i almost forgot that, but realized there was a good reason why i almost forgot that entire day.
o, sweet alcohol.

Good to know
He’s been one of my favorites for a few years. I loved reading about his oldschool oline ‘nastiness’ on bwi two years ago. Dude’s got to stay healthy, tho. Right now it’s a strained pec. Anybody ever had an injured pec? My ole man had an old pectoral tear injury and the thing just looked ridiculous. That’s a super-important muscle to an Olineman, too.
Would love to see him tear shit up between Wiz & Landolt this year.

Is that

Is Lynn actually projected ahead of Wallace?
And I was thinking one of the younger LBs would start over Hull.
Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good.
Click on the link and read the
original blog post by Donnie Collins on “Blog Sweat and Tears”. Donnie has commentary that talks about some of his “controversial” choices including Hull, Lynn and Zug.

99% sure...
That Lee is being shifted to inside linbacker… That would most likely mean a Bowman, Lee, Mauti 1st team in my opinion…

That's what I think it will be as well

Who is this LB Bauti you speak of?
Is he some sort of combination of Bowman/Mauti? He sounds like he’s going to be good!
When do we see ...
… an official depth chart from the PSU staff? Do we get one in the week leading up to the opening game?
And is it typically available online (gopsusports.com maybe?)?

During the week before the game.
They’ll have the “Game Notes” up on gopsusports.com. It’s usually VERY long, about 50-70 pages. But it’ll be in there.

Got a rumor from a prominent alumni
that they want to RS Colasanti this year. If that is true, that probably means that Lee is inside with Hull as back-up. However, I haven’t seen it anywhere else.
So far Colasanti has been a bit of a dissapointment.
Colasanti
It’s about 99 percent that he’ll redshirt.
You said he’s been sort of a disappointment. I won’t disagree, but if he didn’t use his RS this year, and then only had one year left after Lee’s departure, then Colasanti would have been a huge bust.
So, I guess him RS this year is the lesser of two evils.
