deskgameGeorgia quarterback Gunner Stockton (14) passes in the pocket against Texas during the second half of the Southeastern Conference championship NCAA college football game, Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024, in Atlanta.
deskgameThe Wolverines will be missing their top three rushers and their top two pass catchers. The top running back on the depth chart will be Benjamin Hall, who had 44 yards on 13 carries this season. The top two pass catches will be WR Semaj Morgan and TE Marlin Klein, who combined for 35 receptions, 235 receiving yards and one touchdown this season.

deskgameScoring has been a struggle for the Sooners. I expect that to continue without QB Jackson Arnold, TE Bauer Sharp, WR J.J. Hester, RB Jovantae Barnes and others. Arnold was the starter for most of the season. Backup QB Michael Hawkins Jr. will be under center against Navy.
