Wisconsin depth chart 2014: Tanner McEvoy listed as starter for Western Illinois game

Update:

Here's why you should never really put too much stock into a team-issued depth chart!

---

Gary Andersen said Monday that Tanner McEvoy will once again start at quarterback for Wisconsin on Saturday, when the Badgers will open their home season vs. Western Illinois at Camp Randall Stadium. UW's Week 2 depth chart does indeed reflect that, as the "OR" qualifier that united McEvoy and Joel Stave as the first-team quarterback (Stave was actually listed first) is now gone.

Stave is expected, per Andersen, to see the field at some point. Talk of a two-quarterback system at Wisconsin won't go away until McEvoy becomes more effective, or Stave comes in and finds some success.

The rest of the depth chart remains intact, though the safety positions with Michael Caputo/Peniel Jean at strong safety and Lubern Figaro/Peniel Jean at free safety have been switched from last week. It's unclear if that was an intentional change or not; regardless, it's never idea to read too much into weekly team depth charts, particularly when it comes to schematic observations.

We'll have much more on Wisconsin's performance vs. LSU throughout the week, including offense and defense reviews hopefully later today. If you'd like, we also ran through the offensive and defensive depth charts in depth last week; you might still find them interesting considering barely anything has changed on paper.
