Notes
Tire fire. Off has scored 34 pts vs four P4 teams
QB O'Neil 3rd string now? Edwards (inj), Simmons #2
QB1 is now Hunter Simmons, looks better than others
Fickell quit the UM game. Cowardly and fireable
Run Off pitiful, Pass Def bad vs MD. Bad loss
QB1 Edwards game time decision for MD
Run game bad vs M-OH, QBs bad, Def great
DL was portal focus, 7 adds, DE big need
LT Heywood out for season (ACL), big loss
DB looks light on bodies, CB could be 2 portals?
