With the current transitory nature of college athletics, vibes can shift dramatically from year to year, season to season and even month to month. Programs that finished 2025 on a high note may have flopped in the portal. Programs that bottomed out last year may have had a big-time recruiting haul or hired a new […]

In my months-long quest to not be grumpy about the 2026 Tigers, – and, specifically, the ‘26 defense – said journey now takes us to one of the bigger x-factors in a football game: turnovers.
