The defending Mountain West champions are going to attract a lot of attention during their two-day stay at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, and one of the things that fans can scrutinize is the release of the team's depth chart ahead of fall camp.
Quarterback Brandon Connette is the biggest omission from said chart, considering that the Duke transfer is commonly thought to be the front-runner for the starting role. There are some other positions that are likely to continue battles into fall, as well, notably tight end and cornerback.
