Kirby Moore is in his first season as head coach. His roster includes 50 newcomers, including 29 transfers from four-year schools. Matt Miller coordinates the offense, and Trent Bray runs the defense. The current depth chart lists Kirby Vorhees at running back, Jack Pedersen at tight end and Branden Ganashamoorthy among the starting receivers.
Owen Eshelman remains atop the quarterback chart after his first career start at Oregon State. He passed for 289 yards and rushed for 136 in that 30-48 loss. He went 21 for 40 with 191 passing yards against Boise State. Ganashamoorthy led the receivers with 58 yards, while Keith Brown made nine tackles.
Availability remains unsettled around that lineup. Darrius Clemons and Jeremiah Bernard are questionable, while Nylan Brown is out for the season. Tonight's opponent is 2-5. Stone Saunders is reported to start again as Jayden Denegal recovers from an ankle injury. Max Garrison is listed behind SDSU's unavailable strong safety; the replacement starter is unconfirmed.
