360 rushing yards. Georgia’s Nick Chubb and LSU’s Leonard Fournette combined to heavily bruise the opposition in Week 1, turning in impressive performances against North Carolina (222 yards) and Wisconsin (138 yards), respectively. While the cards are aligned for both to weave together boastful numbers in 2016, which SEC tailback will possess a royal flush […]

Deondre Francois leads Florida State to victory, should be Noles’ starting quarterback

0 comments by

After defeating Ole Miss 45-34 on Monday night, there should be no question about who the starting quarterback for Florida State is for the rest of the season. Deondre Francois answered that question with his stellar play, which guided the Seminoles to a thrilling come-from-behind victory – the largest comeback in school history. Make no […]

The underbelly of success is always going to be deference to the greater good. Texas dropped Notre Dame 50-47 in fitting fashion on a quarterback who lost his job to a freshman, relegated to a glorified running back, obviously coming in to stick it right between a tackles and still doing it. This team has […]

Mississippi State lays egg against South Alabama

0 comments by on 9/3/2016

Mississippi State was worse than bad. The projections for the Bulldogs were way down from the last few years, but the display of mediocrity put on by State was as poor as could be. Against a South Alabama team that was preseason #7 in the Sun Belt, the Bulldogs surrendered a 17-0 halftime lead, gave […]

Urban Meyer, a superstar head coach and a national figure in college football, spoke at Big Ten Media Days on Monday in Chicago. Big Ten Network did not provide live coverage of his session with the media. ESPN deserves plenty of criticism for how it elevates the SEC and undercuts the levels of exposure it gives to conferences such as the ACC and Big 12. However, when BTN can’t provide live coverage of Meyer, Mark Dantonio, and the coaches of its other big-name programs, the collection of factors that feed into conference bias becomes a lot more complicated. It’s not just about ESPN loving the SEC too much; it’s about BTN and Pac-12 Networks being markedly inadequate when covering their own conferences. Conference bias is, in other words, a two-way street and a multi-source problem. ESPN’s competitors have to do a better job.

Wilton Speight gets the nod at Michigan. And by the way, they’re good.

0 comments by

We all should have known the guy with the odds-on shot at the job to be Michigan’s starting quarterback would be a Jim Harbaugh doppelganger. All joking aside, junior quarterback Wilton Speight getting the nod for a team expected to make a playoff run is noteworthy in a game that otherwise was only noteworthy in […]
