Notes
Creel is a RB taking snaps. Just an awful QB
Have significant injuries at LB into CUSA title game
Beat WKU to finish 7-1 in conf, play Kenn St in title game
HC Kelly has been so much better than I thought
RB Cam Cook a beast and criminally underrated
QB1 now Caden Creel, Wimsatt (benched) now QB2
OG'd SHSU 500-280, had 370 rush, needed GW FG
Fr QB Caden Creel replaced Wimsatt in S Miss game
QB1 Competition now, Fr Creel mobile but TO issues
Off is 4th in rush yds after contact (wk 5)
