Notes

Live Team Notes

Vibes: High, although expectations are extreme
Day wants more tempo, is that OC Smith’s style?
DBs great S adds (Moore, Little). CB could be ?
10 portal adds were starters (8 from P4)
Shocking that OSU has not won B1G since '20
QB Sayin back, most accurate QB in CFB, depth?
New OC Smith (Steelers/Atl HC). More NFL guys?
RB Jackson a revelation LY. Have depth + portal
WR Smith best in CFB + Inniss, 2 good Portal adds
OL has 4 starters back, lots of talented options
