Another week, another depth chart, as they say.

Well, maybe they don’t say that, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. The team’s official Week 3 depth ahead of Auburn’s clash with the Big Ten’s Penn State Nittany Lions has been released, but calling it “new” might be the wrong phrase. Although there were some changes on the press box card for game day last Saturday — quarterbacks T.J. Finley and Robby Ashford were listed as “OR” and wideout Koy Moore was listed ahead of an injured Malcom Johnson Jr. — this week’s depth chart is the same as last week’s initial list, so no surprises this week before Auburn’s first Power 5 opponent.

Take a look at the full list below:
