College football is a huge game. Millions of people watch over 100 teams compete every weekend. There are injuries, blocked field goals, batted fourth down attempts, tearing runs and fumbles recovered in the endzone all across the country. But in the end, it all boils down to a handful of plays that ...Published on: 9th November, 2009
As I remarked in an earlier piece on offensive attacks , Notre Dame's administration—in firing Charlie Weis at year's end —is canning the wrong guy. Weis' offense is clicking. Jimmy Clausen just threw for 425 yards and had the most completions of any Notre Dame quarterback in school history. Golden Tate ...Published on: 9th November, 2009
Unconfirmed sources within the university have leaked that Notre Dame will fire Charlie Weis as head football coach at season's end. The sources named Jon Gruden and Cincinnati's Brian Kelly as Notre Dame's top candidates to replace Weis. Bleacher Report has also learned that Oklahoma's Bob Stoops will be considered for ...Published on: 8th November, 2009
We're less than a month away from selection Sunday, the monumental day where every team's bowl destination is decided. Another list of BCS standings has been released, and the bowl picture has become a little more clear. After the wacky upsets of Oregon, Iowa, and Penn State this weekend, it's clear that ...Published on: 8th November, 2009
Cal running back Jahvid Best was seriously injured in the Golden Bears' loss to Oregon State this evening. Best lay motionless on the sideline moments after scoring Cal's first touchdown against the Beavers. Medical staff were on hand to treat Best, who suffered a concussion and is capable of moving his ...Published on: 5th November, 2009
Over its 114-year generation, the Alabama Crimson Tide/LSU Tigers rivalry has been lopsided and competitive, thrilling and devastating, foreseeable, unpredictable and back again. LSU didn't sniff a win throughout Alabama's domination of the SEC in the 70's, while the Tide struggled to overcome the Tigers in the middle part of the ...Published on: 4th November, 2009
The best offense is a good defense. The second-best offense is a mediocre defense. But surely, the third-best offense is a good offense. The trick is in deciding in what way we as a team must go about scoring points. Hell, fifty years ago, we were punting on first down! And ...Published on: 3rd November, 2009
With Texas riding the sympathy vote to the championship game, it's conceivable that TCU, Boise State, and Cincinnati all end up looking for a bowl to call home despite undefeated records. That's not entirely a bad thing, naturally. If both TCU and Boise were to crack the BCS, it would be ...Published on: 3rd November, 2009
I've already accused Iowa of being the luckiest team in college football. Now I'd like to argue the opposite: What's with the lack of love for the Hawkeyes? They've had the hardest schedule of any of the other seven undefeateds. Their away games at Penn State (BCS No. 11, 8-1 overall), ...Published on: 3rd November, 2009
We can guess that the three selections for the Heisman ceremony will probably be Tim Tebow, Mark Ingram and Jimmy Clausen. Tebow has the hype, Ingram the numbers and Clausen the media-friendly program. But suppose for a moment that only two of these players make it; that someone wises up on ...
