Senior Conor O'Neill will start at rover linebacker Saturday against Tennessee Tech, as Derek Landisch is sidelined with a right ankle injury suffered in the season opener vs. UMass. Landisch was in a walking boot after practice Wednesday, and defensive coordinator Dave Aranda said O'Neill has already been taking a significant number of reps at the position. Landisch hopes to be back for the Sept. 14 Arizona State game.
