AUBURN, Alabama -- Onterio McCalebb sits atop Auburn's first depth chart at tailback over 1,000-yard rusher Mike Dyer this Monday, but, guess what? McCalebb topped the depth chart at game time in Auburn's last game, too.

You know, when the Tigers won the national championship?

Auburn released its 2011 depth chart Monday with that bit of a surprise and lots and lots of young players. Officially, Auburn's starting lineup shows one freshman, one redshirt freshman, seven sophomores, nine juniors and four seniors. But only five of those are returning starters.

Eighteen of the second-teamers are freshmen or sophomores, so that makes 27 freshmen or sophomores on the two deep.

We posted the

earlier.

Here's the official

Auburn version of the depth chart, which is

suitable for framing.

McCalebb started four games last year, Mario Fannin started two games and Dyer started the other eight on the way to an Auburn freshman rushing record of 1,093 yards. Auburn's starting lineups are often dictated simply by what offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn calls for the first play of the game.

Still, McCalebb being named the starter is eye catching. Of course, his 810 yards and 8.5 yards per carry had to earn him some favor.

Despite not starting, or even playing in the first quarter, we last saw Dyer being named the offensive MVP in the BCS national championship game when Auburn beat Oregon 22-19. Alas, Dyer missed part of fall practice with an undisclosed injury.

**All four starters

in the defensive line are sophomores. Nosa Eguae is the only returning starter, but the others played quite a bit last season.

**There are four new starters

in the offensive line, including true freshman Reese Dismukes. The only returning starter is Brandon Mosley.

**Emory Blake,

who technically isn't a returning starter but was the No. 2 receiver in the second half of last season, heads the receiving corps. He's joined in the starting lineup by Quindarius Carr and Travante Stallworth. Four freshmen and a junior back them up.

**A senior, a junior

and two sophomores start in the secondary. They're backed up by six freshmen or redshirt freshmen, two sophomores, one junior and one senior.
