Vietnam's FIFA ASEAN Cup squad pairs a familiar core with two newcomers

AFF's roster and fixture announcement sets out the group, without establishing match results.

프리즘코리아 편집국 > Claire Bennett

Vietnam's squad for the inaugural FIFA ASEAN Cup combines an established core with two additions, according to the ASEAN Football Federation's September 19 announcement. Coach Kim Sang-sik named 23 players, including Nguyen Adou Leygley Minh and Williams Minh Hoang.

AFF placed Vietnam in Division 1 Group B with Thailand, the Philippines and Pakistan. Its published schedule listed a September 26 opener against the Philippines at Bandung's Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, followed by Thailand on September 29 and Pakistan on October 2.

Uncertainty

The two newcomers make selection one detail to follow, but a squad announcement does not establish who will start or how the team will perform. This report describes the announced roster and fixtures, not a result from the opening match. The federation's schedule also provides no basis for assuming that a particular broadcast service is available in every country.

Baugh and Clark supplied 268 of Florida’s 302 rushing yards against Ole Miss

Florida’s 52–28 win over Ole Miss was built on 302 net rushing yards across 53 team attempts. Jadan Baugh gained 142 on 29 carries and scored three rushing touchdowns, while Duke Clark gained 126 on 12 carries and scored once. The official play-by-play shows two different contributions: Baugh finished longer possessions near the goal line, and Clark’s 45-yard run answered a third-quarter Ole Miss touchdown. Those figures describe this game, not a forecast of future rushing efficiency.

Nebraska's 157–39 rushing edge framed its 31–13 win at Michigan State

Nebraska and Michigan State each recorded 22 first downs, yet Nebraska won 31–13 and outgained the Spartans 157–39 on the ground. The official scoring log shows two early Nebraska touchdown drives, a Michigan State response before halftime and a 12-play Nebraska touchdown drive after a blocked field-goal attempt. Michigan State back Jaziun Patterson gained 54 rushing yards individually, so the 39-yard team total should not be mistaken for his personal line.

Bryce Lovett’s SEC honor spotlights protection behind Florida’s 52 points

Florida left tackle Bryce Lovett was named the SEC’s offensive lineman of the week after the Gators beat Ole Miss 52–28 on September 26. Florida’s postgame account credits him with no pressure allowed across 69 snaps and says the line gave up no sacks. The official box score confirms zero sacks against quarterback Aaron Philo and 302 rushing yards, but those team totals cannot be assigned to one blocker alone. The award adds an offensive-line angle to a result often told through its runners.
