Kudos for the positive thread.

OLINE - Certainly got beat a bunch, but did not look overwhelmed. As this team gels, there is good talent and size to be optimistic to power a strong power running game.

RBs - Willis really earned the yards and looked good even if the stats were pedestrian -- aside for the THREE TDs in his first start! Nixon seems like an excellent spell and receiving back. Think this is a good 1-2 punch.

TE/WR - Seems like good depth here, but nobody really stuck out before the year. Cook looks the part and can both stretch the field and be dangerous at all levels. The others are solid compliments (JRS and Russell in particular). Villari looks like he is really going to be a good weapon at TE finding the soft spots and good hands (would be great to see a favorite really shine in his last year).

QB - There were some tough plays with Angelli, but even with that he seems somebody that can be a solid QB this season. I'm not concerned about QB after this game (even better we have another solid one in Collins).

D - Not much on the positive here, but am excited to see true freshman crack the lineup. Bodes well for the future. Reese and Bryant were very involved.

Tough game with Tennessee to start in Atlanta (virtual home game) against a team that was in the CFP. I do like that Fran is looking to take on tough teams to harden the 'Cuse. We're going to surprise in a game or two this year. Optimistic about 2025.
