Ending months of speculation and hard work, the KU football team released the first depth chart of the 2011 season on Monday. Although most of the depth chart hasn't changed since the team
entered fall camp, there were some changes.
Junior receiver D.J. Beshears has been moved to a starter at receiver ahead of sophomore Christian Matthews, who is listed as the backup. Receivers coach David Beaty said last week that Beshears is the strongest receiver he has ever coached,
which is impressive considering
Beshershe is 5-foot-8, 174 pounds.
Freshman running back Brandon Bourbon is second on the depth chart along with another freshman, Darrian Miller. Miller originally had the backup spot to himself until Bourbon had an impressive fall camp, including a big
day at Kansas' scrimmage last Saturday.
Freshmen Alex Mueller and Tanner Gibas are the only two freshmen slated to start.
Mueller will be starting at kicker and Gibas will be getting him the ball at long snapper.

The Detroit Tigers found out again Monday night that the Royals don't have a last-place offense.
DETROIT — The Kansas City Royals have the record of a lastplace team, and a pitching staff to match.
The Royals got 18 hits in their second August win over Max Scherzer, beating the first-place Tigers 9-5 on Monday night.
"I don't know what it is about Scherzer," Giavotella said. "We've put good swings on the ball against a lot of pitchers and not gotten anything to show for it, but we've been better against him."
Salvador Perez, Alcides Escobar and Alex Gordon all homered while Johnny Giavotella added a bases-loaded double for the Royals, who came in $18 \frac{1}{2}$ games behind Central Division leaders.
"We were swinging the bat really well against him, and they weren't bad pitches," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Detroit has a great line-up, so you really want to put up as many runs as you can as quickly as you can."
Tigers manager Jim Leyland wasn't surprised.
Scherzer (13-8) allowed seven runs, 10 hits and a walk in three-plus innings to drop to 2-2 in August.
"People need to realize that isn't the team that fell way out of the race," he said of the Royals. "They've brought up some young, aggressive hitters that are pretty impressive."
Luke Hochevar (9-10) wasn't brilliant, but used the offensive support to end a four-start winless streak. He gave up five runs and eight hits in seven innings.
"My job is to go out and execute pitches, whether we're leading by 10
"I remembered that he likes to start fastball, fastball, fastball, so I was expecting the last one," Gordon said. "We needed we needed to score runs against them."
The Royals then broke the game open with three runs in the third. Melky Cabera and Billy Butler started the inning with singles, and Eric Hosmer walked to load the bases. Scherzer retired the next two batters, but Giavotella hit a line drive into the right-center gap, scoring all three runners.
Gordon led on the game with his 19th homer, and Perez's RBI double made it 2-0 in the second.
runs or down by 10 runs" he said.
"We really swung the bats well."
The Tigers made it 5-3 in the bottom of the inning on an RBI groundout by Ramon Santiago and run-scoring singles by Delmon Young and Victor Martinez.
