Notes

Live Team Notes

Vibes: Low, Fickell era bad, Off a disaster

Any momentum from beating UW & Illinois LY?

Fickell era hasn't worked. NIL $ not fast enough

OC Grimes was no better than Longo in Yr 1

QB C Joseph potential game changer. Huge fan

RB portal Sama great add. Should go 3 deep

WR 4 portal adds, nothing special. Avg at best

OL a mess. 4 portals. Patchwork Avg line at best

DL complete rebuild via portals. Don't see it

LBs could be better, DBs look solid w/ good portals
