Notes
Def could not hold vs Jax St, QB Watson is tough
Hilarious mistakes vs NMSU, no wonder still 0 wins
Def awful, Off somehow worse. Longo grade F-
QB Watson cannot run this system, big issue
QB1? Watson running air raid likely not good
Home games 70 miles off campus (Shell Energy)
QB Mettauer big arm, was Longo's pick at Wisc
Over Bet Watch. Def down, Pass Off up
Not a fan of HC Phil Long hire at all.
Could be a bottom Def in CFB, DBs are JUCOs
