Notes
Bottom 5 in CFB in scoring opps both Off & Def
Turning ugly, Mason playing for 50 yd GW FG in L
Offense throws it 65%, but success #'s in 120s
Hung w/ Marshall until 21 pt 4th Q, Def is awful
Offense is improving, wonder how they progress
153 yds of Off vs Austin Peay? Bottom 5 Off
QB Vattiato 3rd yr starting, 2nd under OC Reeder
RB added Rickey Hunt (Ohio/Tulsa) after spring
WR rebuild, 4 portal WR (all P4), 2 TE
OC Reeder wants physical Off? Pass heavy LY
