Thinking about it. I've never been in the Highmark stadium either... I guess, I'll figure it out when it gets closer.

I think having it at Highmark Stadium is a great idea. Based on the Positional Outlook in the Spring Guide, looks like the spring depth chart is shaping up to be:

QB: Voytik, Bertke, Bossory
RB: Conner, James, Ibrahim
FB: Parrish, 4 walkons
WR: Boyd, Challingsworth, Zeise, Davidson
WR: Ford, Wuestner, Weah
TE: Holtz, Orndoff, Edwards, Harper, O'Neill
LT: Bisnowaty, Guy
LG: Johnson, Baker
C: Officer, Rowell, Roberts
RG: Bookser, Grimm, Herndon
RT: Jones-Smith, Reese

DE: Soto, Blair, Price, Poker, Trahan, Roy (no hierarchy is really given)
DT: Mosley-Smith, Jarret, Dintino
DT: Render, Moody, Taleni
SLB: Grigsby, two walkons
MiLB: Galambos, Caprara, Wirginis, Green
MoLB: Bradley, Davis, two walkons
CB: Pitts, Maddox, Lewis, Motley, Henderson
SS: Mitchell, Pitts, Williams
FS: Webb, Amara

For me the most interesting position battles are WR opposite Boyd and right guard (three talented RS freshman battling for the same position). The absolute most depressing/terrifying thing on that depth chart is the complete lack of depth at LB. Come fall I don't see how one of Brightwell and McKee don't make the two deep.

Also nice to see some former players returning as coaches. Ryan Turnley and Mike Shanahan are back as offensive graduate assistants, Scott McKillop as a defensive graduate assistant, and Eric Thatcher as assistant director of player development.

I look forward to another season of Todd Thomas and Anthony Gonzalez. Getting them a lifetime eligibility exemption was genius.
