Notes
Worst program in AAC. Will be ‘26 doormat
Interim HC Alex Mortensen has been hired full time
Off good, Def great in Memphis W after Dilfer fired
HC Dilfer finally fired after 2-4, 3 straight L's
Interim HC is OC Alex Mortensen
3 straight L's, defense is horrific, Fire Dilfer already
Last 2 games: 55 points 1st half, 0 in 2nd
Def torched by Ala. St, 300 pass, 200 rush
Run Off good vs Ala St, Kitna decent, we'll see
RB Jackson has 2k yds past two years (Utep/FCS)
