Notes
Def spirited vs TCU, Fox 300 yds, but can't run
Getting real bad, killed by UCF. Just too many injuries
Outgained 550+ to 200 yds vs UCF? Coming unglued
QB1 is Fr Khalil Wilkins, mobile and not ready. Woof
Starting QB Marchiol redshirting & transferring
Killed by KU, just don't have Off weapons or QB
Gutsy comeback W vs Pitt. Plays hard for staff
Star RB Jahiem White out for season (knee)
Starting WR J Bray out for season (leg)
Ran for nearly 400< Marchiol efficient vs RMU
