Notes
Live Team Notes
Escaped LT in OT, QB Tisdale OK but is mobile
QB1 McIvor shoulder inj, R. Tisdale (Fr) vs La Tech
FIU performance off a bye? Completely unprepared
McIover last 4 games, 2 TD, 4 INT, 231 YPG.
Shameful performance vs FIU, OG'd by 200+, Off awful
Lucky W @ Del, OG'd by 100 yds, 2 TOs for TDs.
QB McIvor is fun in an extremely pass heavy Off
Likely 7-8 portal starters on both Off & Def
Over Bet Watch, McIvor off great, Def rough
Def portal adds include 11 DL, 3 LB, 8 DBs.
