On Thursday, the Boston College football program released an initial depth chart for its Week Five matchup against the California Golden Bears, which is scheduled to be played on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Mass., within the game notes section on the bceagles.com website.

The Eagles (1-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) are coming off of their first bye week of the season following a 30-20 road loss to Stanford on Sept. 13.

Heading into BC’s first conference game of the season against the Cardinal, 13 players were not available, according to the ACC’s Week Three Game Day Availability Report.

Those players were:

• Wide receiver Jonathan Montague Jr.
• Linebacker Jaylen Blackwell
• Defensive back Syair Torrence
• Defensive back Njita Sinkala
• Defensive back Marcus Upton
• Defensive back Amari Jackson
• Wide receiver Michael Landolfi
• Defensive back Ashton McShane
• Defensive back Will Graves III
• Linebacker Palaie Faoa
• Offensive lineman Souleye Diawara
• Tight end Danny Edgehille
• Defensive tackle Owen Stoudmire

Torrence and Jackson were starters in the Eagles’ first two games of the season against Fordham and Michigan State but did not suit up against the Cardinal, and Stoudmire was a starter against the Spartans but did not play against Stanford, either—or Fordham in Week One.

Torrence is not listed on the depth chart for BC’s matchup against Cal this week, and neither is Stoudmire. One additional notable change is that redshirt-sophomore center Michael Crounse is now listed above graduate-student Dwayne Allick at the position. Allick started the first three games of the season at center but was replaced by Crounse in the second-half of the Eagles’ loss to Stanford.

From the first glance:

- Michael Crounse is listed above Dwayne Allick at center (with no OR next to the names).
- No Owen Stoudmire (DT) or Syair Torrence (CB) listed in the chart.
- Daveon Crouch and Jude Bowry (both exited the game at Stanford) are both in the chart. https://t.co/JWGcBs6OEo
