Unit evidence, sources and remaining gaps
rushing Offense · partial
Raphael is the reported incoming lead-back candidate with Green/Rhodes depth; McFall has a hybrid skill role in existing reporting. FSU opener notes disagree on rushing totals, so reconciled efficiency and current allocation remain unknown. New bodies and a win do not settle rushing reliability.

secondary · researched
Preseason reporting identifies Spencer, Nettles, Barnes, Davis-Robinson, Polley and Milliner-Jones with transfers Thomas, Wyrick and Lee. FSU’s Daniels completed 12/23 for 125 yards with a 39-yard TD in the official account. This supplies a documented personnel/context assessment; coverage responsibility, current roles and repeatability remain unknown.

stored preseason: Preseason baseline already records Jennings, B anchor/rank 22, distributed offensive duties and Crum defensive play calling; unchanged.
pre freeze newly retrieved: Incoming/returning secondary and backfield identities were published August 11 but learned in this pass. These projected roles are not current clearance. [SMU personnel preview — Bobby Wilson]
current season: FSU opener passing context and conflicting rushing totals are current-season observations. [SMU official Florida State recap and notes]
pre freeze newly retrieved: Louisville’s January announcement places the September 19 SMU home game at L&N Stadium. It closes the venue research gap now, without rewriting cycle 01 inventory. [Louisville official schedule announcement — Rocco Gasparro]
Remaining unknowns
- rushingOffense remains partial: reconcile official rushing discrepancy and verify current roles.
- Do not add SMU to cycle 01; future selection needs a dated complete dossier snapshot.
