[QUOTE="GoWVU, post: 129277650, member: 1457561"] A lot of people on these boards and elsewhere who follow classes closely--you might even be one yourself, 43rd--probably can answer my question: Glancing at the preliminary depth chart coming out of the spring game, it strikes me as an unusually upperclassmen-heavy group of starters on defense for WVU. Only one sophomore was listed as a starter at this point, with all the rest juniors and seniors. Could someone who keeps track of roster composition verify how unusual that is at WVU? I suppose you can use Opening Day starters as a proxy for post-spring depth charts if the latter information is too hard to find. My first impression is to say it's been quite some time since we had that many upperclassmen as projected starters on defense. However, that could be way off since it's not something to which I pay a great deal of attention. I'm sure Vernon or some recruiting diehards will know the answers. It's just an interesting detail I noticed, so I wanted to learn the context if anybody can provide facts. [/QUOTE]
