Hefney has entrenched himself into the starting RCB position since Allen moved to FS after the UNLV game. Larkins move to FS may allow Allen to move LCB where Fellows and Wade have been alternating. Johnson has started 3 of 4 games over Campbell at SS. Campbell started at FS against UNLV but was replaced by Allen afteward. Possible lineup if Larkins works...
LCB Allen
RCB Hefney
FS Larkins
SS B.Johnson -or- Campbell
