Who is under the most pressure? (Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer)

Who faces the toughest rebuilding job? (It might be Washington’s Jedd Fisch)

Who inherited the best situation? (Could be Arizona’s Brent Brennan)

Whose team might surprise some opponents?

One of those who may surprise is Mississippi State’s Jeff Lebby, who had to flip the Bulldogs’ roster. Andy discusses that flip and with Lebby. Plus, Andy talks to new Bulldogs quarterback Blake Shapen.

Also, Andy talks to two very interesting Minnesota Golden Gophers. Quarterback Max Brosmer spent five years at New Hampshire, but he’ll spend his final season in the Big Ten. Meanwhile, tailback Darius Taylor looks poised to have a breakout year after averaging 133 rushing yards a game in an injury-shortened freshman season.
