Notes
Def torched by Cuse. Klubnik can't carry this Off
1-3 and season tanking fast. Could get ugly
Get LT Leigh, WR Williams, S Barnes back (Cuse)
Off just bad, Klubnick asked to carry too much
Run game awful, OL awful. Not an elite team
OL returns 5/5, a top 10 unit in all CFB
Can OC Riley & OL Matt Luke fix the run game?
OL has #2 most exp in P4, OL coach Luke year 2
CB duo of Terrelll & Hampton a top unit in CFB
DL Parker, Woods PFF top 10, +Heldt (Pur) CFB best
