QB Aidan O'Connell, who missed the game against Florida Atlantic but returned for the Minnesota game, feels good, Brohm said. “I think Aidan held up pretty well for the most part other than normal soreness, so I expect him to just do as much as he can this week and that he feels comfortable. As we get to later in the week, hopefully, he continues to progress. But I'm optimistic.”
