Do we have a color-coded depth chart?

[john4psu]

I came across this as I was trying to find out who Alabama's third-string QB is as I believe Hurts is out with his ankle injury and thought it was pretty cool and informative. Do we have a color-coded depth chart? It copied and pasted in color in Word but pasting it here it lost the colors. :-(

Disclaimer: This is not an official University of Alabama document. The depth chart is taken from individual practice and game observations, and is color-coded. Seniors are in black, juniors previously on the team are in green, junior college transfers in their junior year are in purple, junior college transfers in their sophomore year are in yellow, sophomores previously on the team are in blue, redshirt freshmen are in cyan, and true freshmen are in red. NOTE: Because Alabama will operate from a three-wide set as often as not, 12 offensive positions are listed.

PSU just puts the class year of the player on the depth chart instead of confusing the color blind folks.

The writer notes it's not an official University of Alabama document. He's just trying to be cute buy using different colors but all it does in make it more confusing.

Joe Paterno used different colored practice jerseys to denote a player's position on the depth chart. It was good motivation for someone to work hard for the next color. There wasn't any ambiguity about where a player stood.

And before anyone gets bent out of shape, I'm not saying Franklin should do the same thing. Every coach needs to do what works for him.

That thing looks horrid imo and gives me a headache trying to decipher. Plus the wording of things like "juniors previously on the team are in green" is unnecessarily complicated when the next line is "junior college transfers in their junior year are in purple". Just say Juniors are in green, Junior JC transfers are purple, or make all juniors green and asterisk JC players.

And to think that was made by the editor-in-chief of their website - yeesh!
