Because I'm kinda OCD, here are the non-TrFr not present on the depth chart:
-RFr QB Stephen Collier - obviously, the third QB. He'll be on the travel squad like last year
-RFr OL Kyle Trout - Working the third line with the non-Prince FR Quartet
-RFr DL Dylan Thompson - I believe he's still not cleared medically
-RFr LB Kyle Berger - see Thompson
-RFr SAF Malik Hooker - all four FR DBs are practicing at CB, so Hooker is the fifth safety. I hope he'll crack special units.

True freshmen on the depth chart:
-OL Isaiah Prince
-CB Denzel Ward - seemingly listed as much due to Lattimore's injury as anything else. Look forward to seeing him on kick coverage

I'm excited to see Clark listed as a Co Starter because his speed underneath could be a real eye opener for Tech who will undoubtedly focus on Thomas/Braxton/Zeke/Samuel. One surprising observation is no Torrance Gibson anywhere....

Excluding national championship games, I have never been more excited for a game since 1988 agWst LSU. (This was a great game btw, with a late Ohio State comeback. It was my first skull session and education on how to watch football. Silly things we all know, but not as a kid, like how loud to be on respective third downs, staying until the end, etc.)

I am excited to see the QB play, obviously. I am excited to see all the young receivers with the suspensions, the game only gets more intriguing. I am extremely excited to see Braxton, more than anything else. It is opening day and at night and at a decent stadium. Yeah, I'm over the moon waiting for this game. It has more intrigue than any game I have ever anticipated.

My life is also really boring now, which was never the case, so that probably lends a lot to it. . .

I know the theme right now amongst us is "man I can't wait another second for the game" but I say this... Let's all enjoy the build up to our first game because like the days leading up the xmas, for me this part is just as special as the game itself to me. We have 5 more days were we can say "we are the national champions" without worrying about defending what belongs to us. It's been a long off season as it always is without football but I for one this off season have learned to appreciate the time we have as the #1 team in the Country with a Crystal Ball to boot. So while I too look forward to our rematch with the Hokies (and I have a personal score to settle with my best man from my wedding) I say lets take the time these next 5 days to enjoy the possibilities to what could be another special season from our favorite team. Because it is right now where we have high hopes for Torrance Gibson looking like Dez Bryant or Sam Hubbard being a Joey Bosa clone without knowing what the truth is. Bottom line the imagination of what COULD BE is what makes these next 5 days worth the wait.

GO BUCKS! Beat the Hokies.

Not only do I agree with the above, but we have a really good first week of games compared to most years. In the B1G alone, we have on Thursday Mich. v. Utah and Minn. v. TCU, and on Friday, well, let's just hope it's fun. Maybe the Boise or Mich. St. games will be interesting. Saturday has Nebraska and much more out of the conference. This is a stellar long weekend for week one. And the best part is the V. Tech game caps it all off, assuming various livers can handle it.

So here is a personal note: my dad and I haven't been close for decades until recently. I knew we were close again when he seemed honestly concerned with a heartfelt plea that I make sure I had my complicated computer/tv/etc. system set up for the Ohio State game. :)
