  The Kentucky starting quarterback returns after missing all but two games last season after suffering a torn patellar tendon in his left knee. Whether Wilson can improve on his 12-3 record as a UK starter may depend on how much faith he has in his rehabbed knee and how quickly he is able to shed the rust from missing last year's final 11 games. - Herald Leader

  Having several weeks of additional preparation before the Cats' first game should be a huge benefit to Wilson, Stoops said, but he has looked a lot like his former self through three practices. His comfort level in the pocket is good. Stoops is quick to blow his whistle on quarterback runs, but..."(When) he's pulling it down, he's like a bolt again, just like he used to be," Stoops said. "When he pulls it down, he can really run and hurt some people. He has a good feel for that...He looks really good early in camp. It's only been three practices, but he looks really good." - Herald Leader

  2020 WUERFFEL TROPHY PRESEASON WATCH LIST: Teton Saltes, New Mexico, senior, offensive line,...Saltes, who was also a semifinalist for the Wuerffel Trophy for community service last season, was honored over the summer as a Lobo Hero for his work on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis, working with his native Oglala Lakota tribe to distribute needed supplies to those on his home reservation, which was hit particularly hard. Saltes also has worked in and is passionate about suicide prevention, about children's reading, and he has served with the Save The Children Action Network as an advocate for children, speaking in Washington in 2019. Saltes is expected to be on the initial watch list for the Wuerffel Trophy again in 2020, and he was UNM's nominee for the All State AFCA Good Works Team, which hasn't been announced. - New Mexico Football

  2020 OUTLAND TROPHY PRESEASON WATCH LIST: OT Teton Saltes, New Mexico,...Saltes has been picking up honors at a fairly rapid rate, and now he can add a big one. Saltes is one of 85 interior linemen from around the nation, and one of just 32 offensive tackles, named to the Outland Trophy Watch List. He has managed to start 24 straight games at right tackle, and he allowed the fewest pressures among MW offensive lineman with 350 passing blocking attempts last season. - New Mexico Football

  Citing the rise of positive COVID-19 cases among young people in the state, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Tuesday sent a letter to the leadership of the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State University strongly urging both to suspend contact sports this fall, including football and soccer. In the letter reviewed Tuesday by the Journal, Lujan Grisham, who earlier this month ordered the New Mexico Activities Association to postpone all fall contact sports at the high school level until 2021, is now urging the governor-appointed regents and university leadership at UNM and NMSU to take similar steps. The letter states it is "critical that you postpone collegiate athletics in this moment of escalating danger," saying there is potential they could be resumed in late 2020 or early 2021. - Albuquerque Journal

  One hundred percent. That's where Terry Wilson plans to be, health-wise, whenever the University of Kentucky takes the field for its first practice of fall camp, regardless of when that might occur given the uncertainty surrounding college football because of the COVID-19 pandemic. If things ramp up around the start of August as usual, Wilson has every intention of being out there with dozens of other Wildcats eager to chase a fifth straight bowl appearance. "We don't know what date, but I've been putting in so much work just to be able to get back running and do all the little things," Wilson said in a recent phone interview with the Herald-Leader. "I've put in so much work and my confidence level is raising. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll be 100 percent ready for the season right before camp."

There was a time not all that long ago that Wilson feared 100 percent was off the table. In the immediate aftermath of a knee injury that sidelined UK's starting quarterback for the final 11 games of the team's 2019 campaign, Wilson wondered whether he'd even be able to play football again. His injury - a tear of the patellar tendon in his left leg, which resulted from a horse-collar tackle during the third quarter of UK's game against Eastern Michigan last season - occurs at less than a third of the rate as tears of the anterior cruciate ligament, but recoveries following surgery for patellar tears have become more commonplace in recent years. - Herald Leader

  Kentucky football's first battle of the 2020 season is not against Eastern Michigan or even rival Louisville. It is apparently against the SEC Network. On Wednesday, the network tweeted a video that appeared to mock UK quarterback Terry Wilson. The tweet was later removed but not before several members of UK program, including coach Mark Stoops and Wilson had responded. "The tweet was in poor taste and was removed swiftly," an SEC Network spokeswoman said in a statement provided to the Courier Journal. "We've reached out to Kentucky and are managing this internally."

The tweet included a video of a montage of plays of Wilson being sacked with audio from a popular YouTube video titled "Back it up Terry." In the YouTube video, someone off camera yells at a man in a wheelchair to "back it up, Terry" after some fireworks are set off next to his chair. The Network deleted the tweet after Kentucky fans, including Kentucky Sports Radio host Matt Jones who has more 200,000 followers, began criticizing it. Deleting the tweet was not enough to escape notice of the Kentucky football team though. Wilson tweeted, "Y'all wait and see what happens when I touch that field again. Trust me." - Courier Journal

  The buzz surrounding the University of New Mexico football program upon the hiring of coach Danny Gonzales produced excitement for several returning players, including James Lewis. A 5-foot-11, 215-pound linebacker, Lewis has found new life with a new coach. He got lost in the mix last year when the Lobos went 2-10, leading to a coaching change after Bob Davie's ouster. Lewis began to feel the energy and took to Twitter after Gonzales' hire. "I will be the best Linebacker in the Mountain West this year," Lewis tweeted on Feb. 6. The Lobos will need that type of swagger, especially at the linebacker position, which lost two key players, Alex Hart and Alexander "Moana" Vainikolo, to exhausted eligibility.

Hart was, well, the heart and soul of UNM's defense and led the Lobos with 82 tackles. Vainikolo was No. 2 in tackles with 76 and he led UNM with 11.5 tackles for losses. Lewis finished with four tackles, but he believes his playing time will increase this season. Before the coronavirus pandemic ended all team activities this spring, Lewis was making plays in practice and excelling in the weight room under the instruction of strength and conditioning coach Jimmy Carson. Lewis said the workouts reminded him of the training he put in at Oklahoma State, where he began his college career before going to Coffeyville Junior College in Kansas and then transferring to UNM last year. - Albuquerque Journal

  During UK's allotted practice periods, Wilson is throwing the ball around and taking as many mental reps as possible with his fellow quarterbacks. That extra work is on top of class time, his regular strength and conditioning training as well as the rehab he's doing to rebuild his quad, the area most affected by the tear. The 6-foot-3 signal-caller has bulked up since the start of last season; he says he's at 215 pounds, about 12 pounds heavier than his listed weight entering the 2019 campaign. He stepped on a scale recently and was shocked to see that number. "Coach (Corey Edmond) has been doing a good job trying to get me ready, getting my lower half stronger and my upper body stronger on top of rehab," Wilson said. "I've been putting in some work." Kentucky's 2020 season opener is scheduled for Sept. 5 against, ironically, Eastern Michigan. Whether or not Wilson is healthy enough to start that game, there will be plenty of nervous energy coursing through his veins: Aug. 30, the Monday of that same week, is the scheduled due date for his first child. - Herald Leader

  2019 ALL-MOUNTAIN WEST HONORABLE MENTION (COACHES): Kyle Stapley, Jr., OL,...Kyle Stapley and Teton Saltes were steady anchors on the offensive line for the Lobos this season, starting in every game this season at center and right tackle, respectively.

The Lobos were led by Rimington candidate Stapley, who has allowed just two sacks, one hit and two hurries in 375 pass blocking sequences. His pass blocking efficiency rating according to Pro Football Focus is 99.1% and that's the fourth-best mark in the Mountain West among all linemen with 350 pass blocks and 600 total snaps, and best among all Mountain West centers. Saltes anchored the right side of the line, and was a semifinalist for the Wuerffel Trophy. - New Mexico Football

  2019 ALL-MOUNTAIN WEST HONORABLE MENTION (COACHES): Ahmari Davis, Sr., RB,...A running back from Oakland, Calif., Davis accounted for 832 yards on 140 carries on the season in nine games, and averaged 5.94 yards per carry with seven touchdowns.

  Dylan Hopkins passed for 185 yards and rushed for 35, the UAB defense forced a late four-and-out and the Blazers beat Louisiana Tech 20-14 on Saturday for their 18th straight win at home. UAB (8-3, 5-2 Conference USA) helped its chances at returning to the conference championship game by topping front-runner La. Tech (8-3, 5-2). The Blazers also got help from Western Kentucky, who beat Southern Mississippi (7-4, 5-2). UAB has won every home game the past three seasons, the fourth-longest active streak. Louisiana Tech forced a punt and took over at its 16 with 2:28 left and one timeout. On first down, Israel Tucker dropped a long pass down the middle with lots of space around him that might have gone the distance. And on fourth down, A.J. Brooks batted down a pass to the outside. Aaron Allen was 16-of-34 passing with two touchdowns for La. Tech. - UAB/AP College Football
