Red-shirt Forecast: Play or not to play, that is the question.

While it is still early in fall camp, with only one practice in full gear under their belt, Cockfather Illustrated takes a look into the garnet crystal ball to make an early forecast on which newcomers will play, and which newcomers are headed for a red-shirt season.

QB-Chris Smelley- will likely be the backup to Blake Mitchell and play this fall.
WR-Moe Brown- will definitely play, and could start when USC uses a 3 WR set.
WR-Chris Hail- a definite red-shirt, and could move to the secondary in the spring.
OT-Hutch Eckerson- will likely be USC's 3rd offensive tackle and play significant snaps.
OG-Kevin Young- will likely play and could unseat James Thompson at RG.
OG-Garrett Anderson- too close to call at this point, a determination could come after next weeks second scrimage.
OG-Seaver Brown-definite red-shirt.
OC-Pierre Andrews- definite red-shirt.
OT-Heath Batchelor- a likely red-shirt.
DE-Eric Norwood- will play significant snaps at DE. Excellent pass rusher.

DE-Terrance Campbell-too close to call. See Garrett Anderson.
DE-Casper Brinkley- will be a starter at the bandit end position.

FS-Darian Stewart- likely starter.
