2017 Georgia Game: Notre Dame Depth Chart
Not a whole heck of a lot of movement on the depth chart this week for Notre Dame as they prepare for Georgia. In fact the only change to really note is the Jonathan Doerer is not listed as the kickoff specialist like he was last week – but he was technically replaced by Justin Yoon last week already after the depth chart was released.
Only other thing to point out is that Cameron Smith and Freddy Canteen are still listed as the starting wide receivers. Last week the pair had a few catches but didn’t do much damage yardage wise. We’ll see if that improves this week. Robert Hainsey remains the #2 RT and will likely see a bunch of reps this week along with Tommy Kraemer.
Kelly was asked today if Tevon Coney might start this week with Georgia featuring such a stout rushing attack but Kelly said the starting backers won’t change though Coney will play a lot just like last week.

Can you guys add player numbers in? If not, that’s cool. I’m just think it will help. Thanks!
Just an FYI, the class year for some/most/all of the players is outdated (e.g., Donte Vaughn and Julian Love).
Thanks, we copied/pasted over from last year and missed a couple. All should be good to go now.
