11th Hour Depth Charting: Northwestern at Penn State

There actually isn't much change this week, which could be a good thing for a team that could use a little stability. The latest depth chart (from what we can tell) for this week's game, with some complementary notes...

Offense

-All accounts point to Rob Bolden (rightfully) getting his starting job back this week. He was ready to go last week, but was held out to avoid ruining the next three years of his promising career. Matt McGloin is still in the picture, but there's no reason Bolden shouldn't start. Joe Paterno said on the radio this week that he would prefer to play only one quarterback.
-Silas Redd was this close to getting the nod as No. 2 TB behind Evan Royster. Stephfon Green has been underwhelming by far this year, while Redd is growing into a fan favorite. Green needs a big finish this year to stave off Redd.
-Christian Kuntz played last week, so he returns to the depth chart as a No. 3 WR.

Defense

-Sean Stanley makes his return to our depth chart, after seeing significant time as Jordan Hill's primary sub at DE. Hill may start again this week, but count on more Stanley.
-It looks like with the stinger issues Khairi Fortt is dealing with, the stand-up DE role that was hyped last week didn't pan out. If he plays this week, it will likely be at linebacker, but now that I said that, he'll do the opposite and play the SUDE.
-Chaz Powell may have solidified his getting the starting CB job until further notice. Stephon Morris is still the guy for the future, but having three starting-caliber corners is invaluable to this unit. Going up against a pass-heavy Northwestern team, good tackling and coverage in the secondary is paramount.

Did I forget anything? Tell me in the comments.
