What to watch
Football
Watch whether possession-ending mistakes and stalled drives change the game more than total yardage. A close previous result is context, not a prediction of another close finish.
Women's Volleyball
Watch serve reception and the ability to end the opponent’s scoring runs. Friday and Saturday are separate matches; the second preview baseline will need refreshing after Friday’s result.
Tennis
Use the posted event format and individual results to evaluate the opening fall matches. Tournament entries and exhibition listings should not be converted into a team dual score without an official result.
