A look at Cal's depth chart going into the Colorado game.

Cal Depth Chart, Offense

	Starter	Backup	Third	Fourth

QB	Chase Garbers	Ryan Glover	Zach Johnson
RB	Damien Moore	Christopher Brooks	Marcel Dancy
WR (X)	Trevon Clark	Jeremiah Hunter	Tommy Christakos
WR (F)	Nikko Remigio	Justin Richard Baker	Mason Mangum
WR (Z)	Kekoa Crawford	Monroe Young	Aidan Lee	Mavin Anderson
TE	Jake Tonges	Collin Moore	Gavin Reinwald
LT	Will Craig	Brayden Rohme
LG	Ben Coleman	Brian Driscoll	Bastian Swinney
C	Matt Cindric	Brian Driscoll
RG	McKade Mettauer	Brian Driscoll	Everett Johnson
RT	Valentino Daltoso	Brayden Rohme	Ender Aguilar

Cal's depth chart on offense hasn't changed much from week to week, though a key point to watch will be at the right guard position. McKade Mettauer went down with an injury against Oregon, and Brian Driscoll filled in for the remainder of the contest for him.

Cal Defensive Depth Chart

	Starter	Backup	Third	Fourth

DE	Luc Bequette	Jaedon Roberts	Darius Long	Derek Wilkins
NG	Jaedon Roberts	Ricky Correia	Gunnar Rask
DE	JH Tevis	Ethan Saunders	Akili Calhoun
OLB	Cameron Goode	Orin Patu
ILB	Trey Paster	Nate Rutchena OR Evan Tattersall
ILB	Mo Iosefa	Femi Oladejo	Kyle Smith
OLB	Braxten Croteau OR Marqez Bimage
CB	Josh Drayden	Collin Gamble
S	Elijah Hicks	Miles Williams
S	Daniel Scott	Raymond Woodie III
CB	Lu-Magia Hearns	Chigozie Anusiem	Branden Smith	Kaleb Higgins
NB	Josh Drayden	Collin Gamble

The depth chart on defense remains the same, with two key points to watch:

- Evan Tattersall again didn't play on defense in favor of the four young inside linebackers. The Cal coaching staff has said previously that Tattersall is healthy, but the likes of Femi Oladejo and Nate Rutchena have been higher in the rotation these past two weeks.

- Lu-Magia Hearns didn't play against Oregon, with Chigozie Anusiem taking his spot. Hearns' availability will have to be monitored moving forward.

Special Teams Depth

	Starter	Backup

PK	Dario Longhetto	Nico Ramos
KO	Dario Longhetto	Nico Ramos
P	Jamieson Sheahan	Dario Longhetto
LS	Slater Zellers	Daniel Etter
SS	Matt Cindric OR Slater Zellers
Holder	Jamieson Sheahan	Zach Johnson
KR	Nikko Remigio	Kekoa Crawford
PR	Nikko Remigio	Jeremiah Hunter

The biggest change here is the addition of the 'short snapper' position, or FG/PAT snapper spot. Matt Cindric took over here for Slater Zellers, as the Bears didn't have any issues with snaps against Oregon.
