Notes
No show vs ND, non competitive. Pitt isn't good
Four W's in a row, killed NC St, Heintschel 400+
QB Heintschel saved season. Chance 7-2 hosting ND
Ton of injuries, and a lot of DL. See injury report
QB Holstein benched, Fr Mason Heintschel starting
RB D Reid missed L'ville, out for BC game
QB Heintschel much better, raises Offense, new #1
Run Off awful vs WVU, Red Zone issues too
Look better TY esp Off, sleeper ACC pick
WR #2+3 back, 3 portals. Shorter, but deep
