Last week's games were brutal. Just awful to pick and tough to watch. For a weekend that had such promise, the most memorable event ended up being the replay firestorm in Eugene, Ore.

That would put the order on the depth chart as Sewell, Christian Olsen, Kevin McCabe. Sewell, a redshirt freshman, played the entire second half against Western Michigan in the first appearance of his career.
