Terry’s Takeaways From Week 2

0 comments by

Because so many teams chose to play a soft non-conference slate, there weren’t as many meaningful games on the schedule this week. However, here are some items to take away from what transpired on the gridiron this weekend: USC’s defense deserves all of the credit for its 13-10 victory over Stanford. Although the Cardinal dominated […]

Mariota Masters The Moment: Oregon Gains Playoff Leverage

0 comments by

The season is two weeks old. Any contender for a College Football Playoff spot will have to remain on top of its game — and its ambush-avoidance skills — for 11 more games (10 for the Big 12 teams that won’t have to play a league championship game). As the heat of early September turns […]

Few coaches are going to face as much withering pressure next season as USC’s Steve Sarkisian. Anything less than a Pac-12 South title will be an unquestioned and absolute failure. The lack of a Pac-12 championship — with Oregon no longer having Marcus Mariota — would be a modest disappointment at the very least. Sark can’t squander the considerable talent he’s stockpiled in L.A.

USC – Stanford Reaction: Trojan Defense Makes Plays When it Needs To

Is USC a contender to win the Pac-12 championship? If Saturday’s contest against Stanford is any indication, the answer is a resounding yes. Make no mistake about it: the Trojans were far from perfect in this game. The offense struggled for most of the first half, going three-and-out in its second series while shooting itself […]

Keep an eye on Evander Holyfield’s son

We don’t get into recruiting or high school football too much around these parts but it always interests me when a familiar name pops up, especially when it is the son of a former boxing heavyweight champion. The Real Deal: Evander Holyfield’s son Elijah is a beast on the football field. Photos http://t.co/q9exYM8ZV6 pic.twitter.com/iqGnCof4rH — […]

Last Call: Hail to the Echoes

If we ever decide that we want the aliens to know a bit about us, we might make one of those time capsules the way kids do at the beginning of middle school, to be opened only when they “graduate” eighth grade into high school and shoot it off into the cosmos. At some point, […]

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.

If you’re in the media, be sure not to wear a blue shirt to an Ohio State practice. No we are not OSU homers, but Brad & I both inadvertently wore blue shirts to practice! Urban took care of it!
