Season openers are always electric. The feeling of having college football back is unlike any other, but sometimes fans can read too closely into the results of a single game. Today, we’re going to be looking back at every season opener in Luke Fickell’s tenure in Cincinnati and seei how the result for that game aligned with the trajectory of the season.

He is a sexy footballer isn’t he? In my view there were a number of really strong performances against an expensively assembled Aston Villa team boasting some big names and talented players. Bolton Wanderers more than held their own for 45 minutes, and were somewhat unfortunate not to be ahead at the break.
However, for me one man stood out and that is Kieran Lee. I can only think of one time in the game where he received the ball and his touch let him d...

Mike Houston looks to have turned a corner at East Carolina. He is starting to have his crew in place on the field. Last year, the progress was evident. The Pirates posted a 7-5 mark and earned a bid to the COVID-cancelled Military Bowl.
The majority of starters from both sides of the ball return in 2022. Most significantly, Holton Ahlers, who seems to have been ECU’s starting quarterback for about 25 years, returns for his senior campaign. The big, s...

Navy is on the mend after a 4-8 season in 2021. The Midshipmen had piles of freshmen and sophomore playing significant roles last season. This bunch has grown up into sophomores and juniors. They will certainly be better.
Jr. QB Tai Lavatai is back for his second year at the helm. In a system like this one, time in the lead role will almost certainly pay dividends.
Defensively, Navy should improve as well, as they return the major...

The Cincinnati Bearcats are in for a tussle with the SMU Mustangs this season. New head coach Rhett Lashlee has a cadre of offense weapons coming back. QB Tanner Mordecai was the leading passer in the American Athletic Conference last season, averaging better than 300 yards per game while tossing 39 touchdowns. Wideout Rashee Rice is an NFL go-to guy in the making. The Mustangs have plenty of excellent WR talent alongside Rice too.

Wednesday, many people’s favourites to go up automatically after the heartbreak of a playoff semi-final defeat last year, have started the season well. Tuesday’s loss to Peterborough will be a tough one to take for a side with big expectatio...

Sead Haksabanovic, never heard of him mate, and never have you, don’t act it.
Maybe the Sorare enthusiasts have, but that’s it.
Anyway the Daily Record are reporting we’re signing him and he is YET another attacking player which provides us with even more depth in those areas.

After Bolton’s tough afternoon’s work away in Burslem, Liam considers a couple of the standout Wanderers performances Yesterday’s game at Port Vale was a tough one to judge.

Given these difficult circumstances, of course exacerbated by the hellish-like weather and size of the Va...

The only question mark hovers over young midfielder George Thomason, who was rather harshly sent off in the dying embers of the game on Tuesday evening, a red card Ian Evatt has confirmed that we will appeal, given that George only went in one footed and seemed to win the ball. ...

It is comforting that should an injury beset James Trafford, that at least Dixon has returned to a semblance of form.
