Of note, Scott, Barry and Townsend listed as starting WR. Also, it appears Hunter is the starter from the depth chart. Strangely, the Tribune lists Ricky as the starter  ? Safe to say, we won't be sure who is starting till gametime I think. Lastly, it appears Jalyn Powell is listed to play free safety behind Leroy Alexander.

[IAA Fan]

Don't like the way they list Ruiz behind Webb. He must still be injured. Ruiz is our B&B back. while Webb has dynamic speed. If this is the case my season prediction drops dramatically.

[The YO Show]

I don't think Ruiz is still injured, I think Bo likes the smaller speedier back. Plus, I strongly suspect Ruiz is going to see adequate playing time.

[FOOTBALLFEVER]

I don't like giving away 20 pounds in the run game either. With a line that averages around 320 lbs it will be more difficult for Duquesne's smaller defensive front to pick Webb up out of the backfield
