Navy is on the mend after a 4-8 season in 2021. The Midshipmen had piles of freshmen and sophomore playing significant roles last season. This bunch has grown up into sophomores and juniors. They will certainly be better.
Jr. QB Tai Lavatai is back for his second year at the helm. In a system like this one, time in the lead role will almost certainly pay dividends.
Defensively, Navy should improve as well, as they return the major...

UCF recently named Ole Miss transfer John Rhys Plumlee their starting quarterback.
Back in 2019, this dude ran for 1,000 yards as the starting QB for Ole Miss and started eight games.
He is going to be a fearsome force for our Cincinnati Bearcats to handle.
Gus Malzahn has got himself a talented team. They UCF Knights return the majority of their starters on both sides of the ball from a 9-4 team.

The Cincinnati Bearcats are in for a tussle with the SMU Mustangs this season. New head coach Rhett Lashlee has a cadre of offense weapons coming back. QB Tanner Mordecai was the leading passer in the American Athletic Conference last season, averaging better than 300 yards per game while tossing 39 touchdowns. Wideout Rashee Rice is an NFL go-to guy in the making. The Mustangs have plenty of excellent WR talent alongside Rice too.

Wednesday, many people’s favourites to go up automatically after the heartbreak of a playoff semi-final defeat last year, have started the season well.

Sead Haksabanovic, never heard of him mate, and never have you, don’t act it.
Maybe the Sorare enthusiasts have, but that’s it.
Anyway the Daily Record are reporting we’re signing him and he is YET another attacking player which provides us with even more depth in those areas.

After Bolton’s tough afternoon’s work away in Burslem, Liam considers a couple of the standout Wanderers performances Yesterday’s game at Port Vale was a tough one to judge. A case could be made for several Bolton players as I would say each of them dug in and played their part after the first-half red card awarded to Ricardo Santos. Given these difficult circumstances, of course exacerbated by the hellish-like weather and size of the Va...

Wanderers head to Stoke to take on Port Vale We head to Vale Park in rude health, after 8 goals and just one conceded in a week of conviviality at the UniBol.
The only question mark hovers over young midfielder George Thomason, who was rather harshly sent off in the dying embers of the game on Tuesday evening, a red card Ian Evatt has confirmed that we will appeal, given that George only went in one footed and seemed to win the ball. ...

It is comforting that should an injury beset James Trafford, that at least Dixon has returned to a semblance of form.
His performance was composed and he played the sweeper keeper role to perfection, as The Ammies looked to spring in behind as often as they could to penetrate our high line in the first half. This tactic yielded early results in Brandon Thom...
