Returning starters in the Big East in 2013

[Water Pony]

"Here are the 10 teams scheduled to be in the Big East for 2013 and how they stack up in this category, from most returning starters to fewest, according to Steele."

Louisville looks stout with at least 15 starters returning.

With only three returning starters listed on defense, clearly the most important defensive person returning is Tom Mason.

Eight new starters on defense sound like a challenge. Is their a projected depth chart anywhere?

Who are the 3 on defense listed? For sure Sanders, Acker and then Gray, Parks, Scott, Joyner, Greenbauer? Seems to me we have more than 3 if you look at the end of the year starters and count Richardson who would have started and is coming back this year. Does anyone have the starting lineup for the bowl game?

Rambo was starting at the end of the year, Sanders, Scott, acker, and jr would have started if he hadn't been hurt.

So, really I think the count would be 6 more accurately...

Of the bowl game starters I would think Sanders, Acker, and Scott are the only ones that will start the opener next year.
