Notes
QB Cameran Brown taken over for TJ Finley (awful)
This defense is shameful, DC Travis Pearson no good
Most penalized team in CFB, have had 4 gms of 13+
Too many paycheck games & now killed by App? Oof
3 paycheck games + FCS, know nothing about GSU
DBs full rebuild, could struggle badly early
RB all new, decent portal adds, have depth
OL poor LY, 1/5 back. 8 portals, 4 P4. Jump?
Def poor LY, only 9 portals? Can't stop run
Probably a year away from bowl, 3-4 win team
