Gus Malzahn finally has his starters.
After weeks of fall camp, No. 9 Auburn released its depth chart Tuesday for the season opener against No. 6 Washington.
Few surprises stood out on the chart. The first-team offensive line, which Malzahn wanted to name early in camp, is as it's been alluded to through the past few weeks, with Kaleb Kim securing the job at center and UMass grad transfer Jack Driscoll beating out redshirt freshman Austin Troxell at right tackle.
Despite reports of a hand injury to Jamel Dean, the junior is still listed as a starter alongside Noah Igbinoghene, who played receiver for Auburn last season.
Malzahn didn't shy away from giving the chart the "OR" treatment. Any changes the Auburn coaches deem necessary can still take place before Saturday's showdown with the Huskies.
