Bowl games are inherently unpredictable, and are even less predictable in the portal/playoff era than ever before. My expectations are to forget expectations and enjoy whatever it is that we’re watching.

LBer: Kari Jackson entering the portal.

TE: I thought there was a mention that Olesh was going to portal and if so it would be UM. With the UM coaching situation and PSU hiring a new OC/TE coach, haven't read uf Olesh's plans have changed.

WRs: I believe Gonzalez and Brown are out with injuries.

DT: Would like to see Adirika make an appearance. There were good reports during camp about him and then nothing, zero, zilch. Strange.
If Olesh portals then transfer to Michigan that would be weak.

I would like to see the #1 priority be getting as good a look as possible at as many young guys who are somewhat to complete unknowns. With that said, if we have a chance to win in the 4th quarter then don't go overboard and put your 4th string in across the board. I would like to see us win and I still have a rooting interest. Don't want to finish below. 500. Plus, I would love to see Terry notch a Bowl win.

Exactly….he’s obviously been working with the team, so if they mess up it’s obviously his fault and a sign of things to come.
So will the same cliques emerge with Campbell? Meaning if Campbell doesn't win big games will the BGJ defenders defend Campbell like they did incessantly for BGJ or will they turn on him and say I told you so and long for the days of BGJ?

If he wins 10+ games in three out of four years, I’m quite sure the people who supported Franklin will support him as well and the people who trashed Franklin will trash Campbell as well.

That’s my thesis did you see NDs schedule do you respect their fans end of ‘26 when they’re 12-0. Dope A u are
Apples and oranges….they’re not in a conference, Penn State is. It’s not like PSU goes out and hand picks 10 teams that are worse than they are every year. And is English your first language?

Add Dawkins, Dinkins, Rucci and Shelton to the opt-out list for tomorrow. ☹️ I guess it’ll be too cold tomorrow? Because that’s how soft some of these Franklin players are.

We had to expect more would opt out. So the OL would be who?
LT (Rulli or Boyer?)
LG (T.J. Shanahan)
Center (Rulli or Cousins ?)
RG (Cousins or Onoh ?
RT (Donkoh ? w/back up Alciene)

Could we see an appearance by true Freshman Goodman & Troutman on the OL?

This will be interesting. Hopefully whomever starts have been practicing together and those seniors haven't taken practice reps from them.

- Injury free game for players
- Young OL step up and fill gaps. Will we see Goodman and Alciene (Freshman OTs?)
- Youngsters receive lots of PT for CMC and staff adequate game film for evaluations
---- Young fill ins play physically and aggressively
- Younger DTs, LBers, RBs and WRs establish themselves
- Limited snap counts for those who are draft eligible but elect to play
- "W" would be bonus but game PT for next year's players more important.
Those would be my hopes but not my expectations
