UConn released its depth chart for the South Florida game. There are no changes on offense but on defense there are some noteworthy movement.

Angelo Pruitt, who missed the last two games with a lower-leg injury, is not on the depth chart after being listed as the starter at defensive end in the first three games.

Also, Cole Ormsby is listed as a co-starter with B.J. McBryde at defensive tackle and true freshman Luke Carrezola is the No. 2 guy at defensive end.<<

Obi. Hold your breath on play action.

Sounds like Pruitt's injury is bad. he hasn't played since the opener and now they have taken him off the 2-deep.

Why is Ormsby at DT and not DE?

Is the new 2-deeppostedyet? I looked on the official site and they only had the Bosie one.

@UConnFootball HCBD: The decision for Pruitt to call it quits came 90 minutes ago.

makes no sense there... could that be a typo?

Awww man... another blow... really liked this kid... wish him nothing but the best... If he's called it quits with us I truly does could he still apply for a medical redshirt and possibly play elsewhere? Would love to see him finish his college playing career on the field instead of off it.

Oh boy, another hit to the roster. I really liked what pruitt brought. Is there a story here or is he really just threw with playing FB? Maybe Jeff Jacobs can add AP to his request list and talk to him for us!

I believe we still post the depth chart as if we were in a 4-3 alignment, even though we line up in 3-4 primarily. As such, listing anyone at DT is a typo. Listing Ormsby as a backup to a guy who typically lines up as a 3-4 end is the key. Hence, Carrezola being listed as a DE (while we all know he is an OLB)

@UConnFootball HCBD:Luke Carrezola will be an impact player here at UConn. Ormsby logical choice to make into Angelo Pruitt spot.

Pruitt is done. Going to have surgery.

They play him inside. He was at tackle for his sack. They use him as part of NASCAR package like the Giants did wit Justin Tuck, moving him inside to be a quickness mismatch on obvious passing downs.

Well that sucks. Hate to see Pruitts career end this way but FWIW the defense played really well without him on Saturday. I feel for the kid and I would wrather have him out there but Saturday proved we have some talent on the DLine.
