New Mexico:
The Lobos enter the season with a new head coach, Jason Eck, and 72 new players on the roster. Eck brings 26 years of coaching experience to New Mexico, leading at the FBS, FCS, and Division II levels. He spent the last 3 seasons (2022-2024) at Idaho, where he had the third-highest winning percentage in Idaho head coaching history.
The Lobos also have a new offensive coordinator and quarterback coach in Luke Schleusner, who spent the last two years at Syracuse (2022-2023). Spence Nowinsky, the new defensive coordinator, joined the Lobos in January 2025, following a stint at Memphis in the same role.

Michigan:
Freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood will become just the fourth true freshman in school history to start at the position in Michigan’s season opener. His debut comes just 11 days after turning 18. The Detroit native was the nation’s No.1 overall recruit, finishing high school with a 50-4 career record.
“He’s earned the opportunity; it was not given to him, " said Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore on Monday. “Bryce took the necessary steps and took ownership of his abilities — and of the team. He became a leader on the team — a guy that guys look to. He did things the right way and used his skill. He never tried to do too much. For a young guy, he’s very mature beyond his years — and he’s still only 18 years old. He’s going to make mistakes, but that’s what we’re here for.”
