Northwestern depth chart for Week 3 vs. Bowling Green

Northwestern has released a depth chart for its game this Saturday against Bowling Green.

Trae Williams is the only change, slotting in at corner to replace the injured Brian Bullock. Although they were listed on the Week 2 depth chart, cornerbacks Marcus McShepard and Bullock did not make the trip to Duke. Williams played a significant amount last Saturday despite just coming off an Achilles injury himself. Before Jared McGee was ejected for targeting, safety Kyle Quiero was at corner anyway. This sequence of events is a perfect example of why Northwestern’s depth chart - released each Monday - should be taken lightly.

Pat Fitzgerald has consistently reminded us the depth chart is “just a starting point for the week,” but much like repeatedly running slow developing zone-run plays on first down, we continue to beat our heads senselessly against this wall of over-analyzation. Without further ado, here’s your Week 3 depth chart.

Also, shameless self-promotion, before the season started I wrote about 10 true freshmen who could play immediately. Joe Spivak made me 10-for-10 and a self-proclaimed seer on Saturday.
