Can Leonard Fournette carry LSU?

0 comments by on 10/7/2015

On Monday, I wrote about teams that are one-dimensional with quarterbacks. LSU has found itself in a rare spot. The offense for the Tigers is based on the rushing attack of one. While Leonard Fournette has become the early Heisman favorite, he has also created an unbeaten start for LSU. Clearly the offensive line has […]

College quarterbacks can carry teams for awhile, but they eventually need help

0 comments by on 10/5/2015

The best teams throughout the nation have an ideal balance of capabilities: a strong passing attack, a good rushing game, and a stout defense. However, some teams are completely reliant on a quarterback, providing a tarp which covers holes throughout the roster. Few quarterbacks are able to completely conceal these limitations, but some still have […]

Week 5 results lead to possible 2-loss playoff teams

0 comments by on 10/4/2015

On Saturday, the college football landscape saw the latest playoff shake-up of the season. One gets the feeling it won’t be the last. With losses by UCLA and Ole Miss — the previous leaders of two of the Power 5 conferences, along with Notre Dame falling, it leads to the question of whether there will […]

Utah and Kyle Whittingham show how to manage two quarterbacks

0 comments by on 9/29/2015

A top-10 team in the nation has two quarterbacks who fit their system like a glove and have produced an unblemished record heading into October. Sure, that is the case at Ohio State, but it is actually Urban Meyer’s old stomping grounds where the country is receiving an example of how to work with a […]

TCU and Baylor take different paths on their Big 12 collision course

0 comments by on 9/27/2015

One month down, two months to go until the Friday after Thanksgiving. Baylor and TCU have so much to overcome in October and most of November, but for now, they haven’t fallen off the ledge, and they’ve painted different portraits in the process. * For the third straight week, Baylor’s offense dismantled another opponent and […]

Is Miami back, or are we just hoping?

0 comments by on 9/22/2015

For decades the Miami program has been a model of consistent winning, followed by cycles of disaster and rebuild. The current rebuild under Al Golden is now four weeks into a fifth season. In that span, Golden has been over .500 only twice, but has ended the regular season exactly at .500 in the other […]

PASADENA, CA – SEPTEMBER 19: Quarterback Josh Rosen #3 of the UCLA Bruins and quarterback Tanner Mangum 12 of the BYU Cougars meet after their game at the Rose Bowl on September 19, 2015 in Pasadena, California. UCLA won 24-23. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

Josh Rosen wins, but BYU’s defense gave him a lot to think about

0 comments by on 9/20/2015

Prior to the season, UCLA head coach Jim Mora made waves when he attacked freshman quarterback Josh Rosen in the media. It turns out that Mora’s words may have had some validity, regardless of whether they were warranted or not. Rosen profoundly struggled for much of his team’s victory Saturday night against BYU, in a […]

Oklahoma completes magical comeback behind Baker Mayfield

0 comments by on 9/12/2015

This past week, Oklahoma linebacker Eric Striker, in true Brian Bosworth style, delivered fresh bulletin board material to Tennessee and the entire SEC. While Striker said that he did not buy the hype around the SEC (with words that cannot be repeated for the sake of employment at TSS), and that the Sooners would bring […]

Ohio State in context: The Bucks will only get better on offense

0 comments by on 9/11/2015

The biggest question about Ohio State throughout the entire offseason was who was going to be under center. However, after the opener, a bigger question is how are the Buckeyes going to be spreading the touches around with the explosive weapons that they have on the entire offensive side of the ball. When looking at […]

Auburn and Louisville face QB questions after the Tigers’ narrow win

0 comments by on 9/5/2015

Auburn and Louisville are in similar situations: quarterback play will likely determine how far each respective squad goes. Yet, on Saturday in the season opener for these teams, a peculiar thing happened: Auburn won not because of quarterback play, but in spite of it. Louisville got the better of the battle at that one position […]

TCU Horned Frogs 2014 Record: 12-1 (Won Peach Bowl) 1 Burning Question: Will TCU build on last season and make the playoff this season? Last season, TCU was clearly one of the best teams in the country, but a loss to Baylor kept the Horned Frogs out of the first playoff. TCU held a 21-point […]

Doubting Missouri Used To Be Sensible, But Not Anymore

0 comments by on 8/14/2015

It is hard to find many teams who have had the three-year run Missouri has been able to pull off. It is also difficult to find many teams who have been as underrated despite their success. Much of last year’s overlooking of Missouri was due to that awful home loss to Indiana. Much laughter ensued […]

The Wisconsin Factory of Running Backs Continues To Produce

0 comments by on 8/13/2015

While the Wisconsin Badgers lost a heavy (no pun intended) amount of talented offensive linemen, don’t expect a significant drop-off in the UW running attack in 2015. The first thing folks may point to in citing a possible decline in Madison is the loss of Melvin Gordon, who ran for the second most all-time yards […]
