Surprises to me: Williams at second team RB ahead of Lunday and Niemchi. Also surprise, Czerniak at second string DE ahead of Grenier - didn't Czerniak play in the middle last year ?

at some point I thought I read where JJ was considering redshirting Grenier this year

Czerniak is tall and lanky. 270 but still looks skinny..he's best suited for outside

Everything I have read indicated that Williams has looked good at RB. I dont think he will get a lot of PT that first game because of how concerned June is about blocking, but he is apparently running well. Nlemichi has been injured a good part of training camp which is a factor.

They need to fix Acker on the Special teams. They list him as FR-HS and SO-1L elsewhere.

Is there Depth at CB behind Acker ? Since we did not recruit any JUCO CBs besides the unqualifier from Tyler, are any of the freshmen stepping up or are we in trouble there again depth wise ? Last year 6-2 when Sterling Moore started (only losses to TCU/Texas Tech), 1-5 when he did not.(only win Tulane)
