Yup, we lost 2 Ali's with one transfer. I for one will be interested to see how it goes for him at the other school. The Portal giveth and the Portal taketh away.
Do we know why the St. Francis opener is on Thursday? Presumably not for (major) TV. I'd think we'd get a better crowd on Saturday for JoeMo's debut. At least it gives us a bit more time to prep for MSU.
We seem to have a lot of numbers now at about every position. If we don't have superior talent across the board we should at least be able to rotate a lot of guys in and stay fresh throughout a game.
None of the others show as having redshirted yet, so there's that. Plus another lost season due to a bad COVID variant is all it would take to give them another year of eligibility ๐ ๐ ๐

Not that I'll bet it either way but I definitely wouldn't have taken UCLA -16. Of course I'm biased...
