Football is almost back!
There is no advanced stats preview because, obviously, there are no stats to use for the season, but there are some things I’ll be looking for in the opener against Eastern Illinois. Here’s a look at a few:
- Cole Kelley on third down. As Bill Connelly notes, Kelley was a respectable 16 for 31 on third and long last season, despite half his attempts coming against Auburn and Alabama. Being able to keep drives alive with his arm is a quick way to guarantee gets all the snaps at quarterback moving forward.
