Notes

Live Team Notes

Hired HC Loggains (OC/QB S Car 23-24)
HC Clark fired after 40-24 in 5 yrs, Huff rumors?
Huge upset vs JMU, box score L but 2 Def TOs
Run D bad vs C.Car, 3 TO's hurt. QB Aguilar 2 INT
Pass D torched by ODU, Aguilar good, forced 4 TOs
Def stop rate 42% (#127) into week 9
OG'd ULL but 5 TO's, QB/Rgame OK, Def meh
Clark & staff better improve, feels stale/bad
Missed 26 tackles! vs S Al
This Off looks broken. Rgame awful, Aguilar erratic
