A comment from David Hale this morning: – The Sporting News writes about the Bulldogs' poor kickoffs. Interesting note about this: I tried to ask Blair Walsh what was wrong in the kicking game, and he said he was under direct orders not to talk about kickoffs. No kidding. I don't know about you, ......

I can't believe Ivan Maisel wrote this. It would be easy to mock Notre Dame's struggle to win 21-13 at home against lowly San Diego State. But you can't underestimate the importance of this victory. The Fighting Irish found a way to win in the fourth quarter. That not only demonstrates a change f......

With all the justified criticism towards the officials about the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that marred the end of the BYU-Washington game… Yeah, if you go by the absolute strict definition of Part C of Rule 9-2-1-2, stating that throwing the ball in the air in celebration is a......

How much of the South Carolina fanbase do you figure has been engaged in  debating the merits of Skip Holtz and Steve Spurrier this weekend? Speaking of the OBC, it looks like we're going to get a heavy dose of the coy side of the man this week. … Spurrier is 22-17 in his fourth season in [...]...

Three things that I read, liked and thought I'd share: On the way up to the game on Saturday, my friend and I discussed how the Tennessee coaches on both sides of the ball had their asses handed to them by a much smarter, much better prepared UCLA staff.  Over at Smart Football - no surprise [...]...

So… our first controversy in 2008 isn't over whether this kid should start, that kid should be benched or directional kickoffs (though maybe they should be), but why this isn't plastered all over ESPN. Even Mark Richt got in on the act. … Afterward Richt said it was one of the most amazing runs ......

Obviously, it's not worth reading too much into another game where it was obvious early on that Georgia's opponent was overmatched, but, still, there were a few items of interest. Stafford's decision making has improved from last year, which is reflected in his zero interceptions and the top pas......

It's part of the nature of the preseason that we hear the stories about how happier days are coming for some schools.  Weaknesses get addressed, geniuses get hired, etc.  In only two weeks, some of these narratives have taken on water and appear to be sinking, but there are others where it's too ......

So the Gators kick a meaningless field goal up 23-3 with 25 seconds left in the game… was it really meaningless? Henry doesn't think so.  Neither does LD (good to see him back, by the way). What say you? ...

That was nothing short of a tour de force we got out of Knowshon Moreno yesterday.  After watching his athleticism, his pass receiving skills, his ability as a punishing pass protector and his superb instincts (was anybody really surprised to see it was Moreno who fell on Goodman's fumble in the......

I'll have the DVR cranked up today to follow the day's doings after I get back from Athens.  Rather than make predictions (which I stink at), I'll give you a list of questions I'll be looking for answers to. West Virginia at East Carolina. Is East Carolina's defense that decent, or was Virginia ......

Mark Schlabach observes Central Michigan's week of preparation for its game tomorrow with Georgia. For those of you still fretting about the Dawg D giving up 21 points and 290 yards to Georgia Southern, maybe you can find some comfort in this exchange between Dan LeFevour and his offensive coordi......

From Chris Low's SEC blog: … There are bad losses, and then there are bad losses. This one will resonate for a while with Steve Spurrier, who's simply is not wired to lose four or five games a season. He is definitely not wired to lose to Vanderbilt in consecutive seasons. The frustration is grow......
