George expected to play

so expect 1 unsportsmanlike and someone to get slapped again

TrumpyCane still can't believe Ward is playing, testament to him as a competitor and teammate.

Disappointing to not see X in there, even for a quarter when Ward/Arroyo are playing but to each their own

i dont expect the draft guys to be in for more than a series or two at best.

Nerd stat preview of game.

Our defense is so weird. Like with the traditional counting stats, we rank as an above average defense on most of the advanced stats. The outlier is Pts/Eckel where we rank 103rd. Basically we give up 60+ yard TDs and allow teams to score a bunch of points once they get a first down inside our 40 yard line, at a much worse rate than nearly every other team. You can see it on all the explosive advanced stats too.

it used to be just big plays but as the year went on, it was everything. we didnt just give up big plays, we also let teams drive down the field either on the ground or through the air. they were awful but propelled by the early season schedule. in conference play, we were bottom of the conference bad

Pitt giving them the game. The freshman QB is awful

The defense gave up a ton of sustained TD drives late in the year. We still gave up length of the field TD drives in 4 plays of less against everyone but FSU & Wake post-Cal big play debacle. Busting assignments and giving up big explosive plays is what set our bad defense apart from other bad defenses.

So we will be out 3 of our top 4 receivers but looks like everyone else playing

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Any incoming Freshman practice with the team? Or are other schools only allowed to do that
