Notes
Cannot score +20 pts vs FBS teams, Def really good
Lead WR Aaron Anderson doubtful for S Car (knee)
OL has been a big issue, injuries & portal misses hurt
Off a mess, can't run, Nuss playing hurt. OC Sloan ?
RB Durham is douobful for Ole Miss
Off struggles are a big issue, esp w/ good Def
Nussmeier dealing w/ torso injury after UF
Def incredible vs Clemson, Off enough in W
WRs Brown (UK) & Anderson(OU) are weapons
Big yr for staff. Clemson/UF early set the tone
