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).

Mark Richt is out at Georgia: 9-3 isn’t always what it seems to be

0 comments by on 11/29/2015

A year ago at this very time — following Thanksgiving weekend — Bo Pelini’s run at Nebraska was felt to be on its last legs. This turned out to be true primarily because of the friction Pelini created within the Nebraska athletic department. However, there was always a strong case to make that Pelini deserved […]

While Bruining continues, Clay Helton makes a special moment for USC

0 comments by

It’s easy to make USC’s 40-21 pounding of UCLA on Saturday another case study in the art of “BRUINING,” the new college football gerund for squandering prosperity and face-planting in season-making situations. That school in South Carolina? It now carries itself at a higher level and holds itself to loftier standards. UCLA is what Clemson […]

Virginia Tech: Fuente is the focus, but Foster is the finishing touch

0 comments by

It’s the topic which never gets quite enough attention when coaching carousel situations emerge, and when coaching vacancies are discussed: If the new head coach has a specific point of expertise, how will the program fill the vacancy for the “weak-side” coordinator — the one with expertise on the other side of the ball? If […]

Oklahoma Throttles Oklahoma State, Is a Lock for the College Football Playoff

0 comments by

Heading into this weekend’s action, some people still had questions about whether or not Oklahoma belonged in the College Football Playoff. Depending on who you talked to, either Michigan State or Notre Dame (or both) belonged in the field over the Sooners. After Saturday evening’s throttling of Oklahoma State in the Bedlam Series, it’s clear […]

Scrambled Eggs: Rebels shine as Bulldogs falter in the Magnolia State

0 comments by

On a night when the winner got a golden egg, the Mississippi State Bulldogs laid a big one. A real big one. Everything was set up for a storybook finish for State star Dak Prescott. It was senior day, it was a packed stadium, and it was the biggest football game in the Magnolia State. […]

The clock strikes midnight for Florida against Florida State

0 comments by

After a rocky November stretch that featured one-score wins against Vanderbilt and Florida Atlantic, the Florida Gators were not as fortunate on Saturday. Reality and the Florida State Seminoles smacked the Gators in the face. Offense has been a problem for the Gators since Will Grier was suspended for using performance-enhancing drugs in October. Treon […]

Stanford edges Notre Dame in a classic, offering an important reminder

0 comments by

While it’s true that the Oklahoma Sooners’ rout of the Oklahoma State Cowboys put the Notre Dame Fighting Irish outside the top four on Saturday night, the Irish knew that with a victory over the Stanford Cardinal, they’d still have a chance to make the College Football Playoff. A North Carolina win over Clemson (or […]

Michigan State is Peaking at the Right Time

0 comments by on 11/28/2015

It took a while, but the Michigan State Spartans are beginning to round into form. Isn’t this what champions do? They win first and foremost, but as the season goes on, things begin to click until the chances for really big things ramble up to the doorstep. That seems to be what’s happening in East […]

After routing Michigan, is Ohio State playoff-worthy?

0 comments by

Things just got really interesting in the race for the next College Football Playoff. Left for dead last week after getting blitzed in a driving and windy rainstorm by Michigan State, Ohio State met a very uncertain situation against Michigan. The Game was thought to be an equivalent of a World Cup soccer consolation game. However, on […]

Michigan learns about the vast chasm between good and great

0 comments by

Sometimes, you just get your arse kicked in. All year, the story of Michigan had been one of improvement. Some of it, probably, was assumed to be a wider gap than it really was, just because of the natural assumption that Jim Harbaugh was not Brady Hoke. Everything Michigan did well flowed from the belief […]
