  Good as K-State was on defense in most games last season, breaking in a new system was difficult. Defensive linemen like Eli Huggins had the most to learn. It took him most of the year to feel like he mastered his responsibilities playing in the middle of the Wildcats' defensive front. "It was hard," Huggins said. "We were running a completely different defense last year, so we kind of had to dial it back a little bit just just to be safe. But I think with all these guys we've got here coming back, having a year in the system, we're going to know the defense so much better. I think we'll be able to open it up compared to last year." That could mean anything from more blitzes to more complicated coverage schemes and other tactics that can keep an offense off balance.

Klieman won't say exactly what he has in store for future opponents. But, much like last offseason, he has put lots of thought into the subject behind the scenes. K-State does seem to have the right personnel to play more aggressive this season. On top of Huggins, the Wildcats return Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Nate Matlack, Daniel Green, Jaylen Pickle, Khalid Duke, Ekow Boye-Doe and Julius Brents. With that many returners, "vanilla" should no longer be in Klieman's vocabulary. "We have the personnel to be really good," Green said. "Our preparation is going to be key, but I think we got a lot of that down last season. Most of us are back and we're all bought in. It's time for us to do something special." - The Kansas City Star

  Texas A&M receiver Ainias Smith was arrested early Wednesday on charges of driving while intoxicated, unlawful carrying of a weapon and possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana, according to Brazos County jail records. Smith, 21, was arrested by Texas A&M police and was booked into the Brazos County jail. He posted $8,000 bond and was released later Wednesday, according to jail records. The records did not indicate if he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.

Smith has been suspended from the football team per athletic department policy following his arrest, according to Alan Cannon, a spokesman for Texas A&M. Cannon added that coach Jimbo Fisher was aware of the situation and looking into it. Smith was scheduled to attend SEC Media Days on Thursday in Atlanta with Fisher and two other players. Smith is Texas A&M's top returning receiver after grabbing 47 catches for 509 yards and six touchdowns last season. He has 1,321 yards receiving with 15 touchdowns in three seasons with the Aggies. - AP College Football

  When state laws and the NCAA made it legal last year for college athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness, a University of Miami supporter fired one of the first attention-getting shots. Dan Lambert offered $500 a month to any Hurricanes scholarship football player in exchange for promoting the American Top Team mixed martial arts academy he founded, an annual outlay of more than $500,000 if everyone opted in. Now Texas Tech football players can sign up to make four times that amount.

The Matador Club, a non-profit collective organized by Texas Tech donors, plans this week to sign 100 Red Raiders football players each to one-year, $25,000 contracts. Cody Campbell, a founding member of the Matador Club board of directors, said all 85 scholarship players and 15 of the top walk-ons will be covered under the agreements. In return, they'll be expected to do community service and charitable work around Lubbock and, in the future, possibly other West Texas cities. Campbell said payments to players will be made monthly beginning the first week of August, and the community service endeavors will continue throughout the next year. - Lubbock Avalanche Journal

  2022 PRESEASON MAXWELL AWARD WATCH LIST: JT Daniels, West Virginia,... WVU transfer quarterback JT Daniels (6-3, 21) has quickly acclimated to the Mountaineers' offensive system, coordinated by Graham Harrell. With proven productive stints at both USC and Georgia on his resume, there's not much Daniels hasn't seen from opposing defenses, and getting used to Harrell's version of the Air Raid (a bit different, but not far removed from the classic version popularized by the Hal Mumme-Mike Leach coaching tree) hasn't been a big change. "I learned so much from all the offensive coordinators and coaches I have had, and I have been able to transition back and forth from an NFL style to an Air Raid style a couple of times over my career," added Daniels. "I've been able to process all of those changes." - West Virginia Football
