Fresh off a high-stakes upset, the Cougars shuffle their offensive line and lean on quarterback Bear Bachmeier's rushing mobility to offset key injuries before facing the Knights.
The No. 2 BYU Cougars released an updated depth chart for the Week 8 matchup against the UCF Knights.
The Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, LJ Martin, is still out due to injury, but Kalani Sitake's team was able to pull off the upset over Notre Dame in Provo on Saturday.
The Cougars have made adjustments to the rushing attack with quarterback Bear Bachmeier carrying more of the load. There were no real changes from last week. Bott Mulitalo moved into the starting position at right tackle after the battle with the Irish.
Isaiah Glasker being able to be back at full strength was key to the Cougars' success on defense. The BYU linebacker came up big in many critical moments during what was college football's most anticipated non-conference matchup of the season.
Here's a look at the latest BYU football depth chart.
