Notes

Live Team Notes

Vibes: Uneven, HC ?, lot of grad & portal losses

New OC Dardwell was Cincy's OL coach (4 yrs)

New DC Nate Woody was Army's DC past 6 yrs

QB JC French is a good one, has good mobility

RB mostly portals were all #2 guys LY. Decent

WR top 4 are portals, 2 FCS, 1 G5. Solid unit though

OL has 3 starters back but were really bad LY

DBs built from portals, good looking G5 adds

LB/DEs strongest unit? 6 w starting exp & prod

Def should be decent but Off is a big step back
