I'm happy with 8 wins and a bowl in our first year back, but there's no doubt that the offensive side of the ball was our biggest weakness. We have to improve there long term to keep moving in the right direction.

This may have been discussed in another thread, but the three transfers that are coming back home, will any of them be able to play immediately?

I know Street has applied for a waiver.....not sure about the other 2.

That extra coach will most likely be defensive and special teams if Neal can be put on the payroll. Not sure how long we have to wait.

He definitely deserves to be paid well!

I understand the issue with the Oline, etc. I could tell in the first game that we had issues across the Oline. More depth and speed at skill positions would certainly help. My issue still remains with gameplan and zero adjustments throughout the game. I would be fine with Les being replaced but ok with another year and more talent

I realize Vincent is popular name as well but he did have a lot more talent on the roster at the skill positions as compared to last year.

South Alabama managed to even finish lower than #98 in total offense (#115)!

I thought Kingston Davis was coming from independence community college. Marshall has to sit out coming from FCS. If he were going from FBS to FCS he could play immediately. This is to prevent FBS from recruiting the FCS as if it were JUCOs.
