massive thank you to Cam for making that shoestring tackle after the Utah INT back in November. that play and two gritty stands by the D saved us from what would have been a brutal loss. and I can't remember the last time I was that cold (& damp) in Autzen . . . 1985 CW?

the TE room is almost empty right now. Matavao to Chip & BruCru is probably the biggest loss via transfer portal (Justin Flowe, maybe, but he was oft-injured and frequently out-of-position when in the game). Ferguson is a reliable pass-catcher, esp in the red zone, but his blocking needs improvement. P Herbs is coming along nicely, but has battled injuries, too.

the unit was devastated by injuries in 2021 (brought DJ Johnson over from the D). its improvement this year was a big component in a dominating rush game and the low number of sacks yielded. love that Jumbo package with two TEs on the LoS and a third in the backfield.

hope that the brain-trust in the HD has its eye on a transfer candidate. don't think Sadiq, a 220-lb true frosh, is going to contribute right away. gotta have some more depth here in 2023.
