* UTEP might have a bit of juice under Scotty Walden

* Jacksonville State slams the reset button after winning the league and seeing Rich Rodriguez return to West Virginia

* FIU has … reason for optimism?

* Missouri State is making an ambitious play by jumping to FBS, and we aren’t sure it will work out well—at least not in the win column

* Delaware looks poised for a smoother transition

* Kennesaw State will be much more interesting, but still not good

* Middle Tennessee is hunting for reasons for optimism

* Louisiana Tech’s coach looks to forestall what might be inevitable
