Wes Marshall looks better and better each practice but it'll be hard for the coaches not to roll the dice with New Mexico State transfer Royal Gill. The T-Birds have three scrimmages left before the Montana Tech game week, you'd think Meier and offensive coordinator Jared Martin would like to name a starter no later than then. Tomorrow, Wednesday and next Saturday (the days of the scrimmages) will be huge for both QB's.

2. Who's at linebacker?
Other than redshirt freshman Robert Takeno, who looks like he'll be SUU's middle linebacker, no one has claimed this position that was wide open heading into camp. La'Var Porter and T.J. Tabatabai, two guys the SUU coaching staff thought could really emerge, have been hurt for most of camp. It'll be fun to watch if these two bounce back from the injury bug or if someone else emerges in the two weeks before the Sept. 2 opener.

3. Who's playing corner other than Brian Kofoed?
Snow Junior College transfer Derrick Brown has looked great opposite Kofoed, an all-Great West second team selection last season, but after those two the T-Bird secondary is unbelievably young. Senior Dave Zelasko has been nursing an injured ankle since Day 1 leaving true freshmen D.J. Lucchesi amd Chris Bonica as well as Michigan State track transfer Dewayne Lewis as backups. Safety Jovan Jackson has taken reps at corner and receiver Larue Burley began learning the position in addition to his offensive duties last week. If there's one place SUU can't affort an injury it's here.

Look back here and at www.thespectrum.com tomorrow for details on Saturday's scrimmage. By the end of the day the T-Birds depth chart could begin to take shape. If you have any questions or comments I'd love to hear them.
