Minutes before coach Dave Christensen’s weekly news conference , UW relaesed a depth chart for Saturday’s Weber State game and junior-college transfer Robert Benjamin is the starting quarterback.
The backup is true freshman Austyn Carta-Samuels, followed by senior Karsten Sween at No. 3.
Not a ton of big surprises on the depth chart, but some notable ones include:
–Former fullback Josh Biezuns won the starting job at the buck (combination outside linebacker/defensive end) over senior Matt Barella.
–Sophomore Austin McCoy will handle both the punting and place-kicking duties. Senior Jake Scott, who did most of the place-kicking last season, will handle kickoffs.
–True freshman Alvester Alexander is listed as the No. 2 runnnig back behind junior Darius Terry.
–True freshman Ghaali Muhammad is listed as the backup at the SAM linebacker behind senior Weston Johnson.
Look for live blogging from the Weber State game, and also an update later today after interviews with Christensen and some of the players.

Robert – Read the story in the paper about Benjamin today and it sounds like there might be some concerns with turn overs. Do you think they are going to stick with Benjamin should he have a game with a lot of turnovers? Seems like last year if you had a turnover there was a new QB in.
