Washington vs Kent State Game Preview

Why Kent State Will Win

The offense is still going to go 100 miles per hour, it’s going to still be dangerous, and it’s going to keep on pressing even without a slew of the stars form the last few years.

The running backs are very quick and can break off yards in chunks. There’s no chance Kent State can power away on the Dawg defensive front, but it can spread the defense out, get into space, and make big things happen while keeping the D on its heels.

Collin Schlee has been around long enough be ready to handle the starting quarterback gig – he was behind Dustin Crum over the last few years – and he has a loaded receiving corps to work with.

However …

Week 1 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Washington Will Win

Defense is optional at Kent State.

It was the worst in the MAC last season, it gave up more first downs than anyone in college football, and it can be moved on any way you want to try.

Washington’s offense is getting a reboot under new head coach Kalen DeBoer. Indiana transfer Michael Penix Jr. gets to bomb away in the attack, the running backs are there, and the offensive line that needs a little bit to get it all together is playing the exact right defensive front to warm up.

The defense has the linebackers to keep the FlashFast style of offense from busting off too many big plays. The secondary might be replacing NFL corners, but it should be okay, the line won’t give up anything between the hashmarks, and there won’t be any issues as long as the O doesn’t have a problem with …

What’s Going To Happen

Turnovers. That’s the only thing that can keep this from getting ugly.

Kent State might not bring a defense, but it will attack and take the ball away in bunches. The idea is for the D to do just enough to the O can do what it does.

Washington will win on its power. Penix Jr. is experienced enough to play within the flow of the game and not force anything, and this will be a much, much different start to the season – the Huskies lost 13-7 to Montana to kick off last year.

If the 2022 Season had a 12-Team College Football Playoff

The best team of the worst conference would be a 3-seed if the 12-team playoff was this year. | Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports Maybe it was time for an expanded playoff, but the seeding is a bunch of malarkey. Beginning in 2024, a 12-team playoff will commence. The controversial format grants automatic bids to the six highest-ranked conference champions, gives first-round byes to the highest ranked four champions, and completes the field with six at-large selections. No at-large can earn a bye. First-round games, between seeds 5 through 12, are to be played on campus or at a location designated by the higher seed. In other words, should a team like Wake Forest get in and be a higher seed in the first round, they might be convinced to play in Carolina Panthers ’ stadium rather than in the Demon Deacons’ 31,500 capacity stadium. If a 12-team Playoff was held this season with the guidelines laid out above, the following is what it would look like under the current format: SEEDINGS: G...

ACC Coaches Against The Spread: Ranked From Best To Worst. Who Covers?

How good are all of the ACC head coaches against the spread? Going from best to worst, here’s who covers and who doesn’t. How do all of the ACC head coaches do against the spread, and on the road ATS, and going over on the point total? If you like to invest, here’s everything you need to know about 11 of the 14 current ACC head coaches and how they do against the lines. One important note, all of these stats only reflect how all the coaches have done on their current ACC teams . The new head coaches – Mike Elko at Duke, Tony Elliott at Virginia, and Brent Pry at Virginia Tech – aren’t a part of this because they’ve never done this before, and Miami’s Mario Cristobal gets credit for his time at Oregon before taking over the new gig.

Jumbo Package: National media have mostly written off the Tide

Set Number: X164200 TK1 Your latest Crimson Tide news and notes. Happy Friday, everyone. Bye weeks are never fun for the fans, but the team needed it this year more than any in recent memory. Hopefully they are getting healed up and ready to close strong. Exactly none of the major publications is picking Alabama to make the playoff at this point. USA TODAY: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU (Dec. 31) 247Sports: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU Sporting News: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU Bleacher Report: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU That seems like just the kind of anti-rat poison Saban desires. A pair of freshman linemen have made impacts this season. Pleasant surprise: Tyler Booker The freshman has managed to split time with two experienced guards in a platoon system rarely seen on the offensive line, where the need for chemistry and continuity typically precludes rotational substitutions. His pass-blocking grade of 86.7 from PFF is the best of any UA guard, and ranks 15th among 577 guards nationally. Top freshman:...
