It’s tough to make a catch like this in any weather, let alone pouring down rain. Yet, Kenneth Scott came up with the grab and would score a TD on the following play to put the Utes ahead 14-10. Kenneth Scott’s one-handed catch http://t.co/XE1PH7jJfd — Terry P. Johnson (@SectionTPJ)

Behind an outstanding effort from its defense, Alabama thrashed Texas A&M, 41-23, to extend its record to 6-1. The victory also proved that the Crimson Tide will belong in the College Football Playoff if they are to win out. Make no mistake about it: this was an excellent performance from the Alabama defense. After all, […]

It’s Friday, which means that it’s time for me to give you my thoughts, observations, and things to pay attention to for this week’s action on the gridiron. Here’s what I’m keeping an eye on this weekend. Forget about the quarterback position: defense is the key to victory for Florida this weekend. How well the […]

Here’s this week’s installment: * Please note that BYU is not included in these rankings […]

While polls carry no weight whatsoever with the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, they certainly generate plenty of debate. As soon as they’re released every week, college football fans flood their respective message boards to discuss which teams are ranked too high and which teams are ranked too low. No team generates more comments — […]

How Mark Richt fills the vacancy on his staff at the offensive coordinator position carries a lot of weight for the remainder of his tenure in Athens (however long that tenure will be).

Some things in life are predictable. Whether it’s a Nick Saban-coached squad having a solid defense, a Bill Snyder-coached team exceeding expectations, or a rivalry week upset that completely changes the national championship picture, there are some things that you can simply count on every year. Add Mark Richt’s status at Georgia to that list. […]

Behind an opportunistic defense and a powerful running game, Utah defeated California, 30-24, to run its record to 5-0. Make no mistake about it: this was not a perfect game by any stretch of the imagination. The Utes failed to capitalize on turnovers early in the contest, coming away with only three points off the […]

This is one of the most unusual TDs you’ll ever see. As River Cracraft was about to break the plane of the goal line for Washington State (and it appeared to me that he did), he lost control of the ball. Cougar WR Robert Lewis alertly snatched the ball out of the air for the […]

Devontae Booker is the type of running back that will make defensive coordinators pull their hair out. Even when they have the perfect defense called — as Cal did here — Booker can create a big gain for Utah.

It’s things like this that make people think the Crimson Tide are the team to beat in the SEC West!

This was a great effort from Rashawn Scott, who not only beat double coverage, but found his way into the end zone to cut the Florida State lead over Miami to 17-10. Rashawn Scott beats double coverage, scores 58 yard TD http://t.co/hT1p7ToS9N — Terry P. Johnson (@SectionTPJ)

The Red River Rivalry is such a physical game that just about everyone who steps on the gridiron will exit with a few bruises. Referees are no exception. Watch what happens here when a Texas Longhorn receiver continues to block after this whistle. Watch out, ref pic.twitter.com/mX1Kgzj9GA — Dan Lyons (@Dan_Lyons76)

Some plays require an introduction. Others speak for themselves. This one is clearly the latter. I’ll let Illinois receiver Malik Turner’s actions do all of the talking: Malik Turner’s great grab http://t.co/YMthE5uZpQ — Terry P. Johnson (@SectionTPJ)
