Missouri released its official depth chart Tuesday morning with optimism regarding a starter’s injury, and a few important changes regarding backups — especially true freshmen. Regardless, nothing will look very different for the Tigers’ starters as they take the field against No. 2 Georgia.

Depth chart analysis
DeMarkus Acy is projected to start Saturday against Georgia. Missouri’s top cornerback exited the game against Purdue with a concussion, but is still listed as the starting corner for the Tigers’ bout with the second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs. Although Missouri’s secondary looked shoddy at best against Purdue, it’s important the starting unit stays together, as they know how to play off one another.
True freshman weakside linebacker Nick Bolton won his position battle last week. Going into Week Two, Bolton was listed as the third-string weakside linebacker. He was listed as a co-backup in Week Three, and it looks like he did what he had to do, beating out sophomore Aubrey Miller Jr. as Terez Hall’s backup.
Another true freshman worked his way into the roster. Cornerback Jarvis Ware, a three-star prospect, was listed as Missouri’s third-string corner behind DeMarkus Acy and Terry Petry. Ware is a bigger corner at 6-foot-1, but still has the speed (4.6 40-yard-dash) to keep up with quicker receivers. If Odom’s use of true freshmen thus far has been any indication, Ware may see the field Saturday against Georgia if the secondary looks rough once again.
