When I was thinking about the criteria for the three best running back tandems in college football, I decided to exclude QBs that run. It's not that Joshua Nesbitt of Georgia Tech or Jeremiah Masoli of Oregon aren't great runners, but they play quarterback, and I am looking at running ...Published on: 15th April, 2010
When current Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson brought his triple option offense from Navy, many critics said it wouldn't succeed at a BCS school. 20 wins and an ACC title later, we know that's not the case. The triple option offense at Georgia Tech is thriving and it's led by quarterback Joshua ...Published on: 13th April, 2010
The Clemson Tigers are coming off a pretty successful football season. They it made to the ACC Title game, beat Kentucky in the Music City Bowl, and won nine games. Their offense scored more than 30 points in six straight games. It also didn't hurt that the Tigers boasted college football's ...Published on: 29th March, 2010
Some rivalries endure for what seems forever like Army-Navy. Others have seen their best days, like Ohio St. and Michigan. Sorry Michigan, I hope Rich Rodriquez gets it done it for you, but right now Ohio St.-Michigan isn't the game it used to be. Rivalries like Texas-Oklahoma, by contrast, just ...Published on: 26th February, 2010
Before the beginning of last year's college football season, I asked All About Sports: Who was the better ACC Running Back: C.J. Spiller or Jonathan Dwyer? Spiller was the 2009 ACC Offensive Player of the Year, and Dwyer received the same honor in 2008. Both are two of the best running ...Published on: 22nd February, 2010
If you don't know the story of Clemson's Jake Nicolopulos, then here's a quick rundown. On December 9, 2009, Jake suffered a left brain stroke. Sadly Jake, a Clemson commit, was to never play football. As most followers of the ACC and Clemson know, Tiger head coach Dabo Swinney and Clemson ...Published on: 13th February, 2010
How will Georgia Tech's offense adjust to the loss of RB Jonathan Dwyer and WR Demaryius Thomas? Louisville transfer Anthony Allen will step in the B-Back position vacated by Dwyer and I don't expect much of a dropoff. I think Dwyer has a little more top-end speed, but Allen blocks ...Published on: 9th January, 2010
Alabama is this year's 2009 College Football National Champion, and that's the bottom the line. Where ever I went, whatever I watched, or read after the game was an exercise in whining about the Crimson Tide not deserving the national title. I'm not an Alabama fan, I don't even know ...Published on: 7th January, 2010
The up and down ACC football season continued into the bowl season. Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Florida State came up with nice wins. Virginia Tech was particularly impressive in blowing out the Tennessee Volunteers. Miami struggled with Wisconsin and Georgia Tech couldn't get it done against the Iowa Hawkeyes. North ...Published on: 30th December, 2009
Dabo Swinney had quite a few critics when he was named the Clemson head coach last year. I would include myself as someone who was skeptical. Back at the end of November, I'd already felt that Swinney had proven his critics wrong . If you throw in Clemson's 21-13 Music City Bowl ...
