Notes

Live Team Notes

HC Applewhite & staff on thin ice after 0-6 streak

Strange trend, 7 pts 1Q, 0 2Q in past 3 games

Off bad, Def worse. Flags, TO's, not buttoned up

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
