Meh W over Morgan, Davenport decent, Def ?
Hit hard by portal, talent down TY, bowl is ?
OL was decent LY, 4/5 back. 7 portals. Looks good
QB1 Davenport likely, started 1, Pryon (GT) add
New OC Petrino downgrade from Ezell (Wake)
Losing QB Lopez (portal) huge blow, esp in spring
RB Bullock a good one, lost Bothwell to MSU
