What to Watch For:
- Fresno State: Can the Bulldogs hit the ground running on both sides of the ball. As a team with big expectations, they need show right away they can live up to them.
- San Jose State: The Spartans added a number of transfers at key offensive positions. Can that side of the ball get back to the dynamic ways they showed in 2020 or will they resemble the version that ended the 2021 season?
- Colorado State: Will the air raid offense be in sync, or will there be some growing pains with the transition? Also, how will the defense look? Also, will this game tell us much about the team at all?
- Air Force: How will the offense look if some key players are missing? And if some players are missing, will those behind them step up into bigger roles?
- San Diego State: How will the Aztecs look in the passing game? And can their offense score enough, and can their defense get enough stops without the benefits of great field position?
- Wyoming: Can their quarterback complete more than 25% of his passes? And more importantly, will the defense bounce back or have they taken a huge step backward?
- Nevada: Is their dynamic duo at running back enough to keep better G5 teams or will they be exposed?
- Utah State: Can they score points? Honestly, can anything from this game really tell us anything? It will not be fair to judge the Aggies by playing Bama (unless they win or keep it within three scores).
- New Mexico: Can the Lobos show anything on offense and score enough to remain in games? Also, will the defense be good enough to carry the team?
- Boise State: The Broncos did not live up to their standard last year. Was it an anomaly or the start of a new pattern? Can the offense move the ball with more consistency or will they continue to struggle?
- Hawaii: Can the Rainbow Warriors bounce back against a more even opponent? Will the offense be able to establish a better rhythm? And can the defense get in better position to make plays?
