Fantasy College Blitz

Just as last week was difficult for me to provide decent stats for you due to weak performances, this week was equally as difficult- but for the opposite reason. There was so much offense in the ACC this past week that it was difficult to really pick the best performers out. I actually...

Sometimes in College Football, seasons are defined by players, teams on the rise, coaches making a move to a bigger school, and BCS controversy. Last year it was all about the Quarterback group of Tebow, McCoy, Harrell and Bradford. However, in 2009 it is the year of the Wide Receiver...

September 21, 2009 by
Fantasy College Blitz
| Comments
The MAC had another sub-par performance this weekend posting a 3-8 non-conference record. Close losses to Army, Marshall and UCF continued a disturbing trend for MAC teams of late; play non-BCS teams, touch and lose close contests that should be won. On a positive note, Northern...

September 17, 2009 by
Fantasy College Blitz
| Comments
Week two has come and gone and man what a rough week for the ACC. It was hard to find stats that were even noteworthy. I think the story of Duke QB Thaddeus Lewis being benched is more interesting than the stats ACC put up this week (keep up your Duke Spirit!). This week was supposed...
