RICE notes

Rice @ SMU
This can evolve (devolve?) into the game thread come Saturday. For now, a place to discuss the game leading up until then.
The Rice depth-chart for the game has been released, http://riceowls.cstv.com/auto_pdf/p_hoto...epth-chart. Items of note:
OFFENSE
-O-Line is back to season opening starting line-up. Janisch has returned to backing up at RT instead of at guard and Eric Ball reappears as the backup center.
-Pierre Beasley will start at F receiver over Taylor Dupree after seeing increased action in the weeks before the bye and playing solidly.
-Jeramy Goodson will start at TB over a healthy Tyler Smith. However, expect to see them both, as well as Charles Ross, rotate and even appear on the field simultaneously.
DEFENSE
-Chance Talbert still absent from the 2-deep at DT. Alex Lowry will again start there.
-Trey Briggs and Terrance Garmon will start at LB. Justin Hill is now backing up Garmon at SLB.
-Chris Jones (previously starter at SS) will start at FS over Xavier Webb, who made his first start there vs. UCF.
-Kevin Gaddis will start at Field Corner over past 16 games or so starter, Chris Jammer.
-Max Aniyam will start at SS and be backed up by David Falgout. Willie Garley nowhere to be found.
SPECIAL TEAMS
-Martens will return to being the starting punter. No changes at other kicking/holding spots.
-Kevin Gaddis has taken over punt return duties. Backed up by JT-S.
-Gaddis will also fill in for Shane Turner, who I suppose is still sick or injured, at kick returner, and be joined by Jeramy Goodson.
