0 comments by Terry P. Johnson on 12/18/2016

The Arkansas State Red Wolves blew out Central Florida 31-13 in the Cure Bowl to cap off another solid season. That’s not to say that ASU was perfect. It clearly wasn’t. The Red Wolf offense struggled for most of the evening, rushing 38 times for 29 yards and completing only 12 of 26 passes. As […]

Jim Leavitt is a great choice to lead the Oregon defense

0 comments by Terry P. Johnson on 12/16/2016

Jim Leavitt is a great choice to lead the Oregon defense. Under his guidance, the Duck D will get back to where it was under longtime defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti. Make no mistake about it: Oregon’s defense has declined rapidly ever since Aliotti retired at the end of the 2013 season. Sure, the Ducks played […]

Now that Lane Kiffin is the head coach at Florida Atlantic, Nick Saban needs to hire a new offensive coordinator. Who should he bring in to run the Tide offense? Here’s a list of four candidates that Alabama should interview for offensive coordinator (although it doesn’t mean the school will interview them!) 4. Sterlin Gilbert […]

Expect Lane Kiffin to succeed at Florida Atlantic

0 comments by Terry P. Johnson on 12/14/2016

Given what he’s been through the past few years, expect Lane Kiffin to succeed at Florida Atlantic. Make no mistake about it: some experts didn’t think that Kiffin would ever become a head coach again. After all, he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way by leaving Tennessee after just one season to take […]

0 comments by Terry P. Johnson on 12/12/2016

Charlie Strong is a home-run hire for the South Florida Bulls. Under his leadership, USF will win its first outright conference championship in school history. Make no mistake about it: Strong walks into a great situation in Tampa. Unlike his previous stops at Louisville and Texas, there’s no need to rebuild everything from scratch. Willie […]

Shawn Elliott not the best choice to lead Georgia State, but don’t be surprised if he succeeds

0 comments by Terry P. Johnson on 12/9/2016

Sorry, Georgia State fans, but Shawn Elliott was not the best choice to lead the Panther program. That’s not to say that Elliott isn’t a great coach. He is. In fact, Elliott is one of the top offensive line coaches in college football, having developed several top-quality units at both Appalachian State and South Carolina […]

Penn State can prove it belonged in the College Football Playoff with a win against USC

0 comments by Terry P. Johnson on 12/6/2016

Penn State can prove that it deserved a spot in the College Football Playoff by winning the Rose Bowl. Make no mistake about it: Nittany Lion players and fans have every right to be disappointed in the Selection Committee’s decision. After all, Penn State won (arguably) the toughest conference in college football, and beat Ohio […]

The San Diego State Aztecs defeated Wyoming 27-24 to win the Mountain West Conference championship. Make no mistake about it: this was an impressive victory for Rocky Long’s squad. After all, the Aztecs had the burden of playing the game in Laramie, where the ‘Pokes have been tough to beat this season. In fact, Wyoming […]

Alabama Crimson Tide roll over Florida, strengthen grip on top spot in college football

0 comments by Terry P. Johnson on 12/3/2016

The Alabama Crimson Tide rolled over Florida 54-16, strengthening their grip on the top spot in college football. That’s not to say that Nick Saban’s squad was perfect. It wasn’t. The Crimson Tide offense got off to a very slow start, netting minus 7 yards on its first two drives. Likewise, the Alabama defense gave […]

The Washington Huskies destroyed Colorado 41-10, proving that they belong in the College Football Playoff. That’s not to say that UW was perfect. It wasn’t. Washington’s usually steady passing game completed just 9 of 24 passes for 124 yards. The Huskies also turned the ball over on downs on their second possession, taking a sack […]

The Army – Navy game won’t hold up the bowl selection process

0 comments by Terry P. Johnson on 12/2/2016

Despite reports to the contrary, I don’t think the College Football Playoff Selection Committee will hold up the bowl selection process to wait on the results of the Army – Navy game. Yet, that’s what some people are afraid of. And, it actually makes sense when you think about it. If Western Michigan loses to […]

Dan Mullen has given new life to his career, putting together what is by far his best season as a head coach. Yet, a loss to Georgia Tech would leave a lot of national commentators saying that MSU was more a mirage than the picture of flesh and substance.

The Oregon Ducks should hire Dan Mullen

0 comments by Terry P. Johnson on 11/30/2016

The Oregon Ducks should hire Dan Mullen as their next head coach. Make no mistake about it: UO is the best job in the country. Since that’s the case, the school will have no shortage of qualified candidates that are interested in the position. But, Mullen would make the most sense. That’s not to take […]

Alabama Crimson Tide cannot afford to lose to Florida

The Alabama Crimson Tide cannot afford to lose to Florida in the SEC Championship game this weekend. That’s not to say that the Crimson Tide wouldn’t make the College Football Playoff if it should lose to the Gators this weekend. According to the Colley Matrix, Alabama has four wins against the top 25 and eight […]
