Notable Notes
- Heading into game number four, there are–again–precisely zero changes to the official depth chart. Although that is somewhat unusual at this point in the season, it could actually be viewed as a blessing. Because usually the reason changes are made is that someone sustains a season-ending injury. Thankfully (and fingers crossed) that hasn’t happened yet.

Holani back! Hope he stays healthy.
Well, technically, he’s been on the depth chart every time. Unless his injury is season ending, I imagine that he will stay there, even if he doesn’t actually play this weekend. But I also really hope he does.
There unfortunately are several guys on that depth chart that will not be playing this week due to injury. They announced Ben Dooley yesterday as being injured for this game. This far the announced depth chart has not been a useful tool for knowing who is playing or not. Which is maybe why they never change it. So other teams have no idea.
What’s going on with Austin Bolt?
Now, there’s a million dollar question!
…no one knows. When asked, the coaching staff provided no new info.
