- The coaches made a few changes to the two-deep on offense, most notably at running back where A.J. Davis is now the listed starter. In previous weeks, the coaches had used multiple "OR" designations among three players; this week, Davis is listed ahead of Vincent Davis and V'Lique Carter.

That personnel is a change, too, since Todd Sibley no longer appears on the depth chart after being on the first three.

- The coaches also changed the order at tight end. Will Gragg had been the listed starter previously, but Nakia Griffin-Stewart took that spot on this week's two-deep.

- The coaches only made one change to the defensive two-deep, but it was a notable one. At middle linebacker, redshirt senior Saleem Brightwell is now the listed starter ahead of Elias Reynolds and Chase Pine.

Pine started the win over Ohio last week but Reynolds started the season opener and Saturday's loss at Penn State. He got hurt in the PSU game, though, and was replaced by Brightwell, who had five tackles. Pine only played Money linebacker at Beaver Stadium.
