If Michael Rose-Ivey is suspended first game, who starts in his place?

Michael Rose-Ivey is (hypothetically) suspended from the first game for smoking the devil's lettuce.
Does the staff go with Young, Banderas, and Newby or which three do you think will get the start? From the talk coming out of practice, will Gifford, Ferguson, or Weber nab his place?

I'd probably go Young at WLB, Banderas at MLB, Newby at SLB. I see Gifford as primarily a WLB, Weber has been injured and hasn't practiced most of camp and Ferguson is working to learn the MLB responsibilities so I'd hate to ask him to pick up another position so quick.

Great synopsis. I just hope Newby can get a good grasp SLB in the next few weeks since it sounds like he started camp out at WLB. I have on good terms Rose-Ivey is, indeed, the player suspended. Probably going to be made official the week heading into the BYU game.

Gifford

I haven't seen much reported about Gifford all fall camp.

I've read at least a couple of articles that mentioned he's doing really well. It looks like he's coming along nicely and will contribute in a meaningful way.

FYI Weber is hurt. I am locking the thread because it is not fair to guess and speculate on who may or may not be involved until Riley makes the official announcement.
