Notes

Live Team Notes

Vibes: High w QB back, '26 could be magical
Hired strength coach from Indiana
OL allowed pressure on 49% of drop backs LY
QB set if Aguilar is back, depth is talented/no exp
Did not beat team w winning record LY.
Def loaded, F7 looks great, best LB's in CFB?
New DC Knowles (PSU) + 4 PSU Def Portals
WR loaded w/ Matthews & Staley. David solid TE
OL looks really good, Vols lines look tough
RB Bishop is top 10 back, have depth as well
