Notes
Beat Baylor to finish 9-3. Incredible year 2 for Fritz
Another huge W vs ASU, Off good, Def better
Big W vs Zona, Run Off beter, Def held on. Bowl team
If this Off improves, Def is nasty, could make noise
QB Weigman left T Tech w/ concussion, ? for Pokes
Lotta guys went down vs Oregon State, watch
Off Success #'s lowest in P4, Run & Pass bottom 10
Def great vs CU, Weigman can throw now?
Determined to run but bad success, pop expl
QB, RB, WR, TE + 3 OL upgrades via portals
