Notes

Live Team Notes

Was Cincy overrated? Finish BYU/TCU will tell
RB1 Evan Pryor out for the Utah game
OL is criminally underrated, one of best in CFB
Five straight wins after ugly W over UCF. Outgained
Huge W vs ISU, Run Off mauled for 260+ yds, 8 ypc
OL has been great early, int if that will hold up
QB Sorsby has really upped his game, dynamic
Sorsby passing awful vs Neb, tough runner.
Run Off good vs Neb, Run Def good, Pass not
Def good LY, lost all DBs. 4 DE/4 DB portals
