There is not a ton of movement here. The starters were healthy after a 56 to 0 win against Indiana State. Chuck Sizzle has made himself option 1A for AOC and Coach Jeff Brohm. The run game had many backs involved last week, Doerue was sparingly used with the starters to keep him healthy.

Jalen Graham is out - that is a huge loss for the defense as he is a future NFL football player. Last week, Jefferson was mostly used in his OLB/Nickel role. WIll the Boilers go with a bigger body for a more run heavy opponent?
