Notes
Things are getting toxic with HC Swinney
1-4 at home going into FSU game. Beat Troy
Off great, Def torched, ST's cost bad in Duke L
Top WR Bryant Wesco out for season (back inj)
5 straight losses at home vs FBS after SMU loss
QB Vizzina was good, but Run Off putrid in SMU L
QB Klubnik apparently injured, may miss SMU
Def torched by Cuse. Klubnik can't carry this Off
Get LT Leigh, WR Williams, S Barnes back (Cuse)
Off just bad, Klubnick asked to carry too much
