The season is almost here! it seems like an eternity since Boise state football last took the field and watching college football just isn't the same without the broncos. As we near the opening game against Utah State, one question looming on everyone's minds is who will be starting, especially in the trenches. I will do my best to predict who I think will start at each position as well as who will fill depth roles.
Let's take a look at my projected 2020 Depth Chart:
