With Albany winning on Saturday and 7 CAA teams in action Thursday, including two conference games, now might be a good time to move on from the off-season thread. In that spirit, URI has listed our two deep for Thursday night's game at Georgia State. It's page 10 of these game notes if you want to see the whole thing:

A few surprises:
Gabe Sloat has gone from 3rd down back to starting RB with Jaden Griffin his backup. It appears that both of them jumped Jaylen Smith in the depth chart with transfers Ja'Den McKenzie and Deon Silas not cracking the two deep.
It looks like walk-on freshman Ty Groff beat out Dylan Shank for first team kicker. Both of these players would be getting their first college action after both of the kickers who got action last year moved on. Our kicking game was definitely an issue last year and had a massive effect on our one point loss at William & Mary. Harrison Leonard had misses from 31 and 37 in that game, and you have to think his struggles were a big part of our decision to go for two on the last play of the game instead of kicking the extra point and going to overtime.
