Sun Belt Showdown: Which Team Will Seize the Unexpected Opportunity and Dominate This Season?
One exciting thing: The offense still might be good. Senior tailback Kentrel Bullock was solid last year, averaging 5.5 yards per carry and 2.9 after contact. He forced a missed or broken tackle on better than one in four carries, a rate that exceeded Bothwell’s. The offensive line has three-ish starters back and should be one of the better units in the Sun Belt. All is not lost.
Player to watch: Middle linebacker Blayne Myrick, who made second-team All-Sun Belt and led the Jags with 101 tackles and six for a loss last year. Only two other defensive starters return from a unit that wasn’t very good, so the stability Myrick provides will be all the more critical.
