Notes
Blew another vs BG, OG'd BG by 200 yds & still lost
Penalties, turnovers & awful coaching killing Toledo
Gleason/Off disappointing. Penalty issues hurting
Yearly awful L vs 0-3 WMU, Gleason 89 yds, 2 INT
Run Off terrible, Run Def bad in L to UK
CB A. Smith a true shutdown & NFL prospect
OL 5/5 back. Best in MAC, top 3 in the G5
Def added 9 portals, some key pieces at DE/LB
Secondary should be really good, great CBs
WR Vandeross a weapon, Rudolph (NIU) big add
