Depth Chartin': Last Clan Standing

It's been said here at BSD that depth charts are part information, part motivation. Perhaps now, we can just split it in thirds, because trickeration may have just walked into the bar.
Your starting linebackers, according to this week's Game Notes from GoPSUSports.com:
Outside Linebacker
45 Sean Lee (6-2, 236, Sr/Sr)
9 Michael Zordich (6-1, 225, So/Fr)
33 Michael Yancich (6-2, 223, So/Fr)Inside Linebacker
43 Josh Hull (6-2, 236, Sr/Sr)
48 Chris Colasanti (6-2, 238, Jr/Jr)Outside Linebacker
11 Navorro Bowman (6-1,230, Sr/Jr)
34 Nate Stupar (6-1, 236, Jr/So)
15 Bani Gbadyu (6-1, 231, Sr/Jr)
54 James Van Fleet (6-0, 216, So/Fr)
Lee and Bowman are listed as "possible" on the injury report. Possible. Anything is possible, right? Without Lee, we're probably looking at Gbadyu | Hull | Bowman. If Bowman is also out, expect Stupar to get the start in his place. And hold on, baby. Hold on. For now, Bowman is expected to play. Colasanti burned his redshirt last week, so he's available for duty if necessary.
Elsewhere, Johnnie Troutman is the starter at left guard. The left cornerback is Knowledge Timmons OR A.J. Wallace. James Terry has nudged his way up to second team DT. Graham Zug has been cleared to play on Saturday.
Iowa has its own share of injury news, as stud left tackle Bryan Bulaga, perpetually brittle tight end Tony Moeaki, and all-around villainous turd Derrell Johnson-Koulianos are missing from the Hawkeyes' depth chart:
Here’s what Ferentz said about the three after Saturday’s 27-17 victory over Arizona:
"Day to day. We talked about it a little earlier. Realistically we thought that they would have a shot, outside of Bryan. We knew he was out because he missed practice on Thursday. We were hoping to get some good news sooner or later. The injuries that Tony and Derrell have, they could be fine this week or they might not be. We will know more by Tuesday."
Marc Morehouse, Hawkeye reporter/blogger and BHGP fave, thinks the three will play.
Update: Lee has a possible ankle injury, too?

I had something to say earlier, but Teacher said it was Quiet Time.
I will now withhold my invigorating offerings out of spite. And BSD shall be sad.

Please Unkie Jtot...
Tell us all the story about how Jimmy threw for 900 yards against the impenetrable wall of Hawaii’s defense.
Then tell us the one about how Charlie will lead the vaunted Irish into a new golden age of dominance, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the days of the Four Horsemen.

Patrick Mauti has also been a steadfast backup to Zug
If I were him I would be pissed that the Drake got all the PT
Maybe right now he
should just be happy that he’s the best Mauti on the team.
One man doing the work of 100's for the good of 1000's
Eh
Drake has way more upside and he’s versatile.

"upside"?
You’re turning into an ESPN basketball analyst. What next? Great motor?

Nah, lemme backtrack
“upside” isn’t that bad. When you start saying “tremendous upside potential”, you have issues.

Really?
You don’t think Drake has a higher ceiling than Pat Mauti? Pretty sure he’s got more receiving yards than him already. To me the fact that he was a dominant player in high school, and has been utilized in the offense more than a lot of other freshman tells me that the staff thinks highly of him.
"I'm colonel cool! And I'm the captain on this rocket to the stars!"
I think I’m joking.

Frankly tho, I wish I could delete the original comment because it was a truly terrible “joke”.
Apologies.

Lee
Ankle problem too? More at the presser.

What time is the press conference? For those of us with limited access, where can we see/hear it online, if anywhere?
by Jeff Junstrom on Sep 22, 2009 12:20 PM EDT up reply actions
joe said no
he said he basically has “no idea” what they were talking about @ the PC when they asked about sean’s ankle.
We decide when you hear the snap count...
You missed him playing against Temple?

No, i caught that
But wasn’t it just kick returns? Didn’t think that meant he was back to Sean Lee immediate backup.

Really?
He must have really kissed some ass after a 0.20 DUI

THANK ZUG!
Zug has been cleared. May he bless Lee and Bowman’s legs so that they’re good enough to play (and hey, just for kicks, heal Mauti too while you’re at it, oh supreme overlord of all zugdom)
NOICE!

Not buying the ankle thing
I think that stems from the confusion about his injury before we found out what’s up.

With Lee and Bowman possibly out, it sounds like our D will be "Livin' on a Prayer"

What's up with Beachum?
The new depth chart has him at the bottem with Brent Carter now listed as the number three back. Beachum has looked good when he has played…..anyone have any insight into the RB situation?
I thought only safeties played 15 yards off the ball?
I've been waiting to see Beachum play and was wondering the same thing about the depth chart
Anyone in the know, please share
