                                    MLB: Hardy Nickerson

                                      SLB: Tre Watson

                                        CB: Jalen Dunlap

                                          FS: Taylor Barton

                                            SS: Patrick Nelson

                                              CB: Darius Mosely

                                                The depth chart changed pretty dramatically this week.  The biggest change has to be at the running back position.

                                                I am interested in seeing how Reggie Corbin continues to develop this season.  He started against Nebraska and did pretty well.

                                                Hopefully, everything goes well for the Illini this weekend and we move to 2-3 on the season.
