Notes

Live Team Notes

Huge W over UConn, 300 yds rushing, 4 TDs

Down to QB4? Won't know QB1 till UConn game

Option team w/ a good punter. Love 'em

Team is really undersized, but play hard

QB Jenkins can scoot, but passing not strong

200+ yds rushing in huge W over Louisiana

QB1 Chase Jenkins starter, was WR LY at times

RB Balthazar (CCU) hurt LY, but will be a factor

Pass rush huge ? Have LBs, DB looks decent.

QB - Warner left (Fresno). Who can run option?
