Cincinnati sweeping opt outs, including star QB Sorsby, star DT Corleone, and most of entire secondary. Navy fully intact. Final game for Horvath, Heidenrich, and Tecza. Landon Robinson, Navy’s first All-American since 1985, sounds like he will play too. Service academies lean on teams in bowls. We will see early on if Cincy truly wants to be there. Number back down to actionable.

Surprisingly stout defense-oriented team that overachieved this season meets run-focused offense with freshman QB that went 1-7 in conference play. MSST took this bowl game and appears to go in at full strength. May see Shapen as it’s his last snaps in a college uniform. Wake’s defense is excellent. Even in 42-7 rout loss, it allowed 150 total on the ground. When ground game can’t get going for MSST, pack it up. Dickert searches for first career bowl win and just 4th 9-win season in 118 years of Wake Forest football.
