Notes
Fr QB W Wilson got designed runs in FSU game
RB Jayden Scott (Fr) huge vs GT. Name to watch
Def really beat up & can't compete. Off regressing
DB injury issues, nickel down to 5th option (ND wk)
Run Def mauled by VT? Run Off awful, horrific loss
Things could go south in a hurry for this program
Def horrible, torched by Duke. Bailey TOs killed
Run Off good vs Wake, Def bad but rallied
CJ Bailey is a weapon, holds ball long at times
Tackling is an issue, Def very inconsistent
