Live Team Notes

Def may be worst in CFB, back 7 sub FCS level bad

Def torched 2 straight weeks vs Utah St/Boise

QB Szarka good find, Off humming, Def awful

Off 500+ yds on Boise, impressive. Def not great

Run Off OK vs Bucknell, expected better

OL 3 of 5 back, 3 more w/ exp. Improved late LY

DC Knorr a good one, had no help LY from Off

Trust Calhoun & staff, will contend for bowl.

Def improved LY but replacing a lot. CB is big ?

DL solid, P Zdroik is a top rated DT
