CJF stays unusually quiet/low key, in public.
NO injuries are reported.
If anything, CJF puts the burden squarely on #9's shoulders...because he can handle it.
A few seniors are talked up. Guys like Nick Scott, while freshmen are barely mentioned.
But rumors start to go public via anonymous sources re: monsters prowling the practice field.
Eventually, the 1's and 2's are announced, filled with all possible seniors on the team.
More rumors surface about a few frosh, redshrt frosh and sophs being close behind the 1's and 2's.
After dozens of Q's from the press, CJF admits he has some "pretty good" young players.
App State is brought up. CJF refers to them as a national powerhouse and we need to be ready.
Attendence estimates swell for the opening game, as excitement mounts. 113,000 expected.
A rumor circulates that players will wear masks and have numbers removed from their uniforms.
And that's just the beginning.
