Okay, so I wanted to get a better handle on the CMU football team’s lineup, specifically who’s playing where and what the backups look like. I decided to dig into their depth chart. Here’s how I went about it:
Finding the Information
First, I tried to find an Official source. I figured the CMU Athletics website would be the best bet. I’m trying to find it.
I was hunting around for a while.
Organizing the Depth Chart
I decided the best thing to do was create my own simple chart. I grabbed a piece of paper and started listing out the positions:
- Quarterback
- Running Back
- Wide Receiver
- Tight End
- Offensive Line(Left Tackle, Left Guard, Center, Right Guard, Right Tackle)
- Defensive Line
- Linebacker
- Defensive Back
I am trying my best to fill in the names under each position, noting who’s listed first (starter), second (backup), and so on.
Realizations and Next Steps
Putting this all down, I realized a few things. I want to keep this chart updated throughout the season. I am putting it to see how the lineup changes week to week, and I am getting a good visual sense of the team’s strengths and weaknesses. It is helpful to know who to watch out for!
