Re: 2023 offseason transfer portal - top post is updated
It would seem the coaching staff hasn’t seen enough from Farrell to make him the Heir apparent to Hill. Obviously, the staff should always look to build depth at any position, especially at QB, regardless of how good the starter is, as you never know what could happen during the course of a season.

I thought the same thing in regards to Meade holding about 7k with full capacity restored to the East stands. I honestly don’t remember the old west stands but did they hold much more than the current west stands? Because if there was 10-13k in attendance at Meade there had to be 3-4k just standing.
