  Louisiana Tech had one of Conference USA's best seasons in 2019, based on a balanced attack that featured power and a quick-strike ability. If not for a two-game slide that included player suspensions, the Bulldogs likely would have won Conference USA's West Division. While coach Skip Holtz still has plenty of talent in Ruston, there are some definite needs if the Bulldogs want to again reach the 10-win plateau. Most notably, Louisiana Tech has to find a quarterback after the graduation of J'Mar Smith. Smith threw for 2,977 yards and 18 touchdowns with only five interceptions last season and spread the ball around well with four receivers having 40 catches or more. His replacement likely will be either Aaron Allen or Westin Elliott, each of whom saw action in six games last season. Allen got the starting nod when Smith got suspended prior to the Marshall game. He went 19 of 32 for 159 yards against the Thundering Herd in a 31-10 loss. - Charleston Gazette

  Vanderbilt wide receiver C.J. Bolar has announced that he plans to transfer after playing two seasons for the Commodores. "I have officially entered my name into the transfer portal," Bolar wrote on Twitter this week. "I want to thank Coach Derek Mason and staff for looking after me these past couple of years. I am excited for what's to come." The 6-foot-1,190-pound Bolar battled through injuries during his sophomore season, but made six starts, registering 11 receptions for 79 yards. Bolar's most productive game was in a 24-7 loss at South Carolina when he caught three passes for 16 yards. Over the course of a healthier freshman year, Bolar was third on the team with 34 catches, which also tied him fourth all-time for receptions among Vanderbilt freshmen. He had 440 receiving yards and two touchdowns. - The Tennessean
