How Deep is the Missouri Tigers' Depth Chart?

Coach Gary Pinkel got all fan-friendly and decided to throw out his deepest thoughts on how his Missouri Tigers will look in the fall. There were a couple of surprises...

• This team is as young as most of the girls' sleazy dates. Lots of freshmen are high on the depth chart and will play.
• Elvis Fisher has a great name, and is playing great. Dan Hoch was basically slated in to start when he stepped foot on to campus. As lame-ass Lee Corso says, "Not so fast, my friend."
• Derrick Washington has surpassed Jimmy Jackson as the starting back. DW was third, or at best No. 2-B behind Tony Temple and Jackson last year.
• Jacquies Smith has the sickest hair this side of Husker Josh Williams' signing day cut, and he's shot up the depth chart (possibly not a coincidence).
• Somehow this guy named Chance Daniels is at quarterback. FIRE PINKEL!
