The Cougars are 1-0 as they prepare to take on SMU in Dallas on Friday. On Monday, BYU unveiled the depth chart for SMU. Below is the complete depth chart along with commentary.

Quarterback

1. Jake Retzlaff
2. Gerry Bohanon

No changes to the quarterback depth chart. If Jake Retzlaff is going to remain on the top of the depth chart, he will need to clean up the turnovers. If he does that, the staff will be patient enough to let him slowly improve. If the turnovers continue, the leash will be short.

Running Back

1. LJ Martin OR Hinckley Ropati OR Miles Davis OR Enoch Nawahine

There were multiple changes to the running back depth chart after SMU. BYU now lists Enoch Nawahine as the fourth-string running back over true freshman Pokaiaua Haunga. BYU also made every running back on the depth chart a co-starter.

Sitake said BYU is still evaluating the health of LJ Martin and Hinckley Ropati, but "it might take some time" to get those guys back.
