- BYU's safety room is framed as an excellent unit if its key pieces get back to full health and are ready for the season. - A returning senior starter is described as underrated and important to the 2026 back end, while another safety is viewed as having very high upside when fully healthy. - Depth is a major theme: the speaker expects finding enough snaps for the safety group to be a challenge because BYU has multiple playable options. - Daniel Sorensen joining as an assistant safeties coach was described as a significant resource for developing the room and helping the secondary avoid a drop-off.

- Notre Dame’s 11.5 win total is being priced like an elite team, but Duck flagged BYU at Provo as a tough road spot and said the Irish are not a must-lay at this number. - Kansas State: Calabrese likes the staff combo of Colin Klein and Sean Gleason to maximize Avery Johnson. He pointed out a favorable schedule with five of the first six at home and no Texas Tech / Utah / BYU on the slate. - Top Team-Specific Takeaways - the offensive line surrendered its fair share of havoc, and that doesn't even chart the havoc that Sorsby was able to wiggle out of or avoid. - French isn't really gonna be able to do that, so I think the defense is going to be put in worse positions this year.

- Ahmed in portal; understands wanting more minutes if we land starter-quality center.

- Projected OL starters: Finau, Gentry, Yamauchi, Sia, Mitchell; Brown and Sfarcioc competing.

- Sorsby out for 2026; Bear becomes top Big 12 QB with Fifita, Menstermaker, Dampy.
