The Cougars are 4-0 as they prepare to face Baylor in the first road game in conference play. On Monday, BYU unveiled the depth chart for Baylor. There were a few important changes to the depth chart for Baylor compared to the depth chart for Kansas State. Below is the complete depth chart along with commentary.

Quarterback

1. Jake Retzlaff
2. Gerry Bohanon

No changes to the quarterback depth chart. Jake Retzlaff has done enough through four weeks to remain BYU's starting quarterback.

Running Back

1. Hinckley Ropati OR Miles Davis OR Sione Moa OR Enoch Nawahine

The changes to the running back depth chart are the most notable going into week five. Starter LJ Martin has been removed from the depth chart - BYU announced that Martin will not play against Baylor and is expected to return after the bye week against Arizona.

Hinckley Ropati is back from injury and will play against Baylor. BYU needs more production from Ropati if he is going to keep his spot in the rotation.

Additionally, Sione Moa has been added to the depth chart for the first time. Moa was a breakout star in BYU's win over Kansas State this week. Moa, however, got banged up in that game and was seen in a walking boot on campus this week. His status for Baylor is up in the air.
