Sun Belt Showdown: Which Team Will Seize the Unexpected Opportunity and Dominate This Season?

Sun Belt Showdown: Which Team Will Seize the Unexpected Opportunity and Dominate This Season?
  • 2024 final TRACR rank: 5th (4th OFF, 4th DEF)
  • 2025 preseason TRACR rank: 4th (9th OFF, 3rd DEF)

One scary thing: Almost literally the entire team is gone. Charles Huff took 25-ish players with him when he left for Southern Miss, and the Herd have around 60 new players. They are the defending Sun Belt champions in name only, with as blank a slate as any team has ever had. 

One exciting thing: The running game should be fun. New head coach Tony Gibson has West Virginia roots, and he brought along coordinator Rod Smith, who had been with former WVU coach Rich Rodriguez at Jacksonville State. Gibson and Smith are going to try to recreate JSU’s bulldozing ground game, which itself was a bit of a recreation of RichRod’s WVU run games from many years ago. (A handful of transfer running backs will vie for carries in this imported system.)
