Piecing together Indiana's two-deep depth chart after Week 1
Summary
-
Peegs' postgame reconstruction reports that Indiana running back Khobie Martin will miss several weeks, increasing Lee Beebe Jr.'s role behind Turbo Richard while leaving the next reserve spot between Sean Cuono and Jayreon Campbell unsettled.
-
Curt Cignetti said Indiana expects to retain Joe Brunner at right guard and Adedamola Ajani at right tackle after using that alignment in the opener, with Austin Leibfried also serving as an extra lineman in jumbo packages.
-
After Indiana cornerbacks A.J. Harris and Jamari Sharpe exited with injuries, Ryland Gandy handled the boundary replacement snaps and Jaylen Bell the field-side snaps, with no deeper cornerback rotation demonstrated after those departures.
-
Blake Smythe's injury absence gave Indiana freshman Cam McHaney 22 snaps at three-technique behind Mario Landino, although the report expects Smythe to reclaim that rotational role when healthy.
-
Indiana frequently used three linebackers against North Texas' run-heavy offense, bringing Jeff Utzinger into a SAM role and removing the rover from those packages, so the opener did not establish the depth behind starting rover Byron Baldwin Jr.
