Falcons this season: A former Texas high school coach who broke into college coaching five years ago at Texas Tech, Jinks has a quality quarterback at his disposal to run the Falcons’ Air Raid-inspired offense. Sophomore Jarret Doege helped the team average 35 points per game in last season’s final month, and running back Andrew Clair is also back to provide help on the ground. Senior kicker Jake Suder returns after second-team all-Mid-American Conference honors last season, and Clair and wide receiver Scott Miller were third-team honorees last season. Safety Jamari Bozeman missed the entire 2017 season with shoulder and hip injuries but is back; he had 71 tackles and three interceptions in 2016.
