Notes

Live Team Notes

2 straight W's, QB Veltkamp heating up

Fastest Off in CFB, snap every 18 seconds

Off TOs a huge issue, Success #'s both sides bad

Def is awful and hasn't played good Off either

Most pass heavy offense, throwing 50 times a game

Vetkamp 4 Int vs MD? Run Off awful. Woof

Over bet watch, unless Def portals hit big

WR rebuild. 5 portal adds. Messer (WKU) good

OL complete rebuild. Least exp'd line in CFB

OL 1/5 back, 3 PT players, 4 portals. Looks bad
