There are many web sites that project 2017 two-deep lineups for college football teams. A review of them reveals that WI and IA are projected to have twice as many starters who have been red-shirted than MN is.
WI is slated to start 9 seniors (8 RS), 5 juniors (5 RS) and 7 sophomores (5 RS). IA is projected to start 10 seniors (4 RS), 8 juniors (8 RS) and 5 sophomores (3 RS). MN is slated to start 9 seniors (3 RS), 6 juniors (2 RS) and 6 sophomores (2 RS). On defense, MN is projected to start only one player (McGhee) who has been red-shirted.
Another telling sign with respect to 2017 two-deep lineups is that web sites have in many instances left no names of MN players for second string positions--a sure sign of lack of depth. WI is slated to have 4 seniors (2 RS), 9 juniors (7 RS) and 3 sophomores (0 RS) as second stringers.
