Notes
Great W over VT, Def held Hokies to 263 yds, 7-17 3rd
Off fast start vs NC St, 2nd half went nowhere
LBs are small, DL has to run fit well or busted
Ashford 4 passes for 164, 32 others for 88 yds
Def a bottom P5, Kenn St moved the ball
Ashford decent #'s vs Kenn., but not an FBS QB
QB1 Robby Ashford won starting job in camp
HC Dickert good hire, but year 0, real bad
OL 0/5 back. 5 portal starters added, all G5
89% of OL exp is from G5 portals
