Cincinnati Bearcats excited for challenge of opening the season against Nebraska football
Cincinnati and Nebraska will meet in the season-opening contest on August 28. The Bearcats are coming off a season that saw them go 5-7 last year. They were able to win their season opener against Towson last year, but the Huskers will present a different challenge.
Satterfield is entering his third season with the Bearcats and enters the 2025 campaign looking to have his first winning season with the program. He knows it won't be easy against a Huskers team looking to play at a high level.
'We feel like we need to be hitting on all cylinders when you're starting the season playing against a team like Nebraska. There's been a little bit more sense of urgency in our building throughout the summer, getting ready for the first game, and we know it'll be a great challenge, and it's a great test. Obviously looking forward to that. '
Nebraska and its fans are also looking forward to the game. The program will look to secure its second consecutive season-opening victory, boasting ample talent on both sides of the football. It will be fun to get the season going, as the program itself looks to take the next step.
The Huskers will open the 2025 college football season on Thursday, August 28, when the Huskers face the Cincinnati Bearcats at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The kickoff time has been set for 8 p.m. CT.

4-star Ohio State football offensive line target sets commitment announcement date
While the Ohio State football program has most of its 2026 recruiting haul mostly put together, it is still looking to add a few more players. And while the Buckeyes already have four offensive linemen already committed, they'll gladly accept another good talent because you can never have too many numbers for a position that's hard to evaluate. One such talent is four-star offensive lineman Da'Ron Parks out of Cardinal Mooney in Sarasota, Florida. According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Parks is ranked as the No. 24 interior offensive lineman and 311th overall prospect. There aren't a lot of priority targets left for Ohio State, so nabbing him would be good to get some further momentum going. And he's a big target in more than one way. He's listed as 6-foot, five-inches, and 350 pounds. Parks will be choosing between OSU, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, and Kentucky at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 26. We'll keep an eye on this one and have news when the announcement is made.

'No one is talking about them' SEC analyst is high on Texas A&M in 2025
Texas A&M's SEC media days appearance will take place on Thursday at 2:45 p.m. as coach Mike Elko and his three player representatives, linebacker Taurean York, guard Ar'maj Reed-Adams, and cornerback Will Lee III, will speak to the media for the first and final time before the start of fall camp early next month. Still, even before Elko takes the podium, a long list of college football media figures had plenty to say regarding the Aggies' "dark horse" status as one of the more underrated teams nationally. Thanks to the TexAgs Live show, host David Nuno and Billy Liucci have conducted several intriguing interviews with well-known CFB broadcasters, including Jordan Rodgers. Rodgers, who played quarterback at Vanderbilt and is the brother of future Hall of Famer quarterback Aaron Rodgers, was asked who his "SEC sleeper" is with less than 45 days to go before the start of the 2025 season. With 16 options, Rodgers quickly chose Texas A&M, which he believes is a potential sleeping giant that could surprise everyone this fall. "No one is talking about them" Rodgers stated. "They are extremely talented. The backfield is loaded. A&M will surprise some people." Yes, the hype is real, and I'll be the first to deny that those of us in the Texas A&M media sphere have echoed this sentiment during the offseason, outside of noting the Aggies' strengths on both sides of the ball. Because of the way the 2024 season ended with three consecutive losses, it's fair that some feel the team doesn't have what it takes to withstand a tough schedule, but it's also important to note that nearly every key player from the 2026 campaign has returned, paired with 14 additions from the transfer portal. Rodgers isn't the first, and won't be the last media member to hype up the Aggies as the season grows closer, but he's 100% on point that this roster is highly talented, and loaded at running back headlined by senior Le'Veon Moss, who averaged over six yards per carry before his season-ending injury halfway through the 2024 season. Redshirt sophomore QB Marcel Reed will be the focus once the season begins, but the Tennessee native does not need to play at an elite level for Texas A&M to win nine, or possible ten games if the run game and veteran offensive line lives up to its hefty preseason expecations, while the defense is expected to also improve with Elko now calling defensive plays.
