Fall Camp for some Mountain West teams starts TODAY! Preseason content being written by us and around the internet. Through it all, we have you covered. Take a look at today’s links, plus the content coming your way on our site.

As the reason for Week 0, it’s only fitting the links begin with the Rainbow Warriors. They had some controversy over the weekend and gathered last night before beginning practice today. They will open up against an FCS team, Delaware State, which will hopefully help them start the year with a win. Brayden Schager will be the unquestioned leader of the offense and he is surrounded with weapons (although one less without steven McBride) and the defense gets a boost with the return of linebacker Logan Taylor, who missed all of last season.

Bronco Mendenhall isn’t a fan of starting early and playing in Week 0, but he knows the exposure is a good thing for the rebuilding program. But they are starting today and there are some big questions surrounding the program. This post wants to see who will emerge in the secondary to claim the last two or three spots. Also, who will emerge to take the backup quarterback spot behind Devon Dampier, and will any of the new transfers step up and make an impact? Hopefully, some of these questions will be answered sooner rather than later.

Chris Murray is doing a preview for both sides of the ball prior to the start of fall camp. The offensive post went a day prior, and this one is on the defense. The defensive line is an older group but is short on production and needs to find a way to generate a pass rush. Linebacker returns a ton of production and should be one of the best positions on the team this fall. Cornerback will have a slew of transfers opposite someone coming off a promising freshman campaign and the safeties have talent, despite not returning any starters. Look for more updates as fall camp gets going.

The last one we haven’t featured on this site and it’s the Falcons. The offense has to replace a lot of production, although they do return the most at wide receiver, which doesn’t count for much with a running team. There is talent, albeit unproven, at quarterback and running back, and the brand-new offensive line should be just fine. The Air Force defense returns three starters, but should be strong at cornerback, but has work to do at safety. Likewise, the defensive line is projected to be good, but the linebackers are unproven. Overall, the schedule does them some favors after Baylor and the defense should buy some time for the offense to round into form. They see the Falcons winning seven or eight games this year.
