“Although they may have shared a similar conclusion in a national championship game, those involved in football recognize the distinction between the type of roster Marcus Freeman has assembled compared to what was previously in place.”

Countrywide championships are the norm around here, but this has clearly been improved significantly.

“Now that Steve Angeli has left, CJ Carr appears to be the top contender for the starting quarterback position.”

If [Jeremiyah] Love doesn't have a standout Heisman Trophy campaign, it could be due to the abundance of high-quality players at his position. The team has plenty of skilled athletes in the running backs lineup.

It’s a sure thing that you’ll notice increased diversity in coverage strategies with [Chris] Ash serving as the defensive coordinator. Against Ohio State, they struggled significantly when defending the perimeter using man-to-man defense.

That team has quite a skilled defense, despite missing several important players.

Altogether, this is the most steady condition of the program we've observed in quite some time.
