Inside the Huddle
There were no changes to the offensive, defensive or special teams' depth charts from last week ... Team captains were announced last week. They are kicker Andy Phillips, running back Devontae Booker, receiver Kenneth Scott, and linebackers Gionni Paul and Jared Norris. Phillips, a junior, is in his second season as a team captain ... Marcus Sanders-Williams has returned to his original position at running back after experimenting at linebacker.
