Well after 9 weeks of exciting football the Hawkeyes luck finally ran out. The dream of a national championship was gone. But that wasn’t the worst part. QB Ricky Stanzi was knocked to the turf and left the game with an ankle injury. According to KCCI, Stanzi is out for the...

Well, maybe we are stretching the truth just a little bit, however, Webb was our first honoree of the 2009 season.

Well, at least Homecoming week makes for a bunch of inflated stat lines – provided those guys play. Likely a few guys got victimized by Dexter McCluster and AJ Green actually taking the week off (unlike McCluster figuratively taking the first few weeks of the season off), which...

Who thought Iowa would go unblemished for the entire season? Who was shocked when Georgia Tech went for 4th and 1 in OT, down 3 points and on the Wake 6? Who was ready to kick Houston out of their top 25 when they trailed Tulsa late in the Fourth quarter?

Jarvis Williams, NC State vs. Maryland (BLITZindex Rank 104 defense) – not a yards guy, but a big EZ target. 26 catches produced seven TDs, 3 in the last game against the FSU Seminole defense hat looks easier to beat than a Republican governor. Maryland has been in a season long...
