Notes

• Brody Barnhardt was listed as JJ Johnson’s backup at Strong Safety on the Depth Chart, but he ended up getting his first start of his career at Free Safety.
• Ronnie Royal III was listed as the starter at Free Safety, but Barnhardt got the nod.
  • With that being said, Royal III shifted over to Strong Safety, playing 21 more snaps than Johnson, who started.
• Devon Marshall had the most snaps at Cornerback.
• Chase Bond played the most snaps of his career.
• After playing 1 defensive snap against ECU (first collegiate defensive snap), Asaad Brown played 10 snaps last night, after not seeing the field against UVA.
• True Freshman Josiah Victor has now played in the first three games of the season. It doesn’t look like the Wolfpack has any plans on redshirting him.
