American

• POWER RANK6INGS

Conference USA

• Ray Lawry was expected to miss the season but Lawry might return this Saturday against Marshall.
• WKU was 7th in Passing IsoPPP last year. This year they are 122nd. The Tops can show they can still be explosive passing the ball against Charlotte.
• Their secondary could be a bright spot, however.
• Miami transfers Tyre Brady and Juwon Young are thriving in Marshall.
• What we learned from North Texas after last week is that they are in the driver’s seat for a division title.
• Speaking of the Mean Green, they are hoping to capitalize on their current momentum and the hype of their upcoming rivalry game with UTSA.
• UTEP had their best showing of the season against WKU last week but the Miners can be better and it starts with finishing drives.
• Southern Miss had a much better showing in their second conference game, and changes in the trenches are a big reason why.
• The Florida Atlantic secondary is really really good at getting the football.
• But Jason Driskel knows the Owls need him to improve, as well
• There is a new record for single-game rushing by a freshman at UAB.

Sun Belt

• New Mexico State shouldn’t sleep on Georgia Southern, as the option offense is always an equalizer.
• Texas State doesn’t have much time to sulk with Louisiana-Lafayette tomorrow night.
