Notes

Live Team Notes

Signed QB Billy Edwards (MD)
Hired OC Jeff Grimes (Bay/KU)
How does Fickell address the offense for '25
5 str L's to finish. Offense is untenable. Bad vibes
22 year bowl streak over, was CFB longest
4 str L's, Locke good, Def torched by Nebraska
Fight w/ Oreg, Locke awful, Rgame bad, OC fired
OC Longo fired after Oregon loss
Locke is awful. Rgame avg at best. Longo Off bad
Rgame awful vs PSU, Lock bad INT. < 300 yds
