Gildan New Mexico Bowl (Albuquerque) Temple (8-4) vs. Wyoming (8-4) This is a surprisingly strong game to open the bowl season. These are both legitimately “good” teams. I wish them well. Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (Boise) Ohio (9-4) vs. Utah State (7-5) This game is best known for drawing the ire of a punter. As [...]
Markelle Martin, FS, Oklahoma State Height: 6-1 Weight: 198 2011 Stats: 65 tackles, 11 pass breakups, 2 forced fumbles Overview: It’s hard to take any good from a defense that ranked 107th in the FBS. It’s even harder to look at any positives from a secondary that allowed 266 yards per game. But, if we [...]
The 2011 season is now over and it is time to predict who will take home the Heisman trophy. This year was one of the craziest years for the Heisman because there were a handful of players that could have taken home the award. Without further ado the final Heisman standings: 1. Trent Richardson, RB, [...]
1. LSU It is not much of a stretch to say that LSU should have been losing 21-0 to Georgia in the SEC Championship. When Tyrann Mathieu returned a punt for a touchdown to make it 10-7, I knew Georgia was done. The fact that the Tigers went on to win 42-10 is a testament [...]
With the regular season coming to a close, little has been decided in college football. Bowl games are announced Sunday night, the Heisman race is shaping up to be one of the closest in recent memory, and the national title picture is murky. But before any controversy can start after the matchups are announced, conference [...]
With only championship week left we break down the top contenders to win the Heisman. With many of the top contenders not playing this week, there is not much room for players to change voters minds. 1. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama Last Week: 27 carries, 203 yards, 1 receiving TD Season: 263 carries, 1,583 yards, [...]
1. LSU I’ve seen all I need to see from LSU. If the NCAA inexplicably decided to end the season today and crown LSU the champion, I would be completely in favor of it. The SEC Championship and BCS Championship don’t even matter to me, because I am that sure LSU is the best team [...]
1. LSU On “Let’s give Alabama a second chance at the BCS Championship Saturday,” LSU stayed strong. I think they’re kinda decent. If anyone’s going to beat them it will be Arkansas, but at the moment I’m having trouble seeing it happen. 2. Alabama Bold statement time: an SEC West school will compete in the [...]
We are now into the home stretch of the Heisman race. At this point any of the following five candidates could take home the hardware. The slightest slip up could mean the difference in finishing first or fifth. 1. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama Last Week: 32 carries, 127 yards, 1 TD Season: 204 carries, 1205 [...]
1. LSU How vast is the talent gap between Alabama and Western Kentucky? Did LSU even have to try this week? Whoever scheduled that game is brilliant. The Tigers absolutely needed some rest after the massive clash two weeks ago. 2. Oklahoma State As much as I would love for losses by the top teams [...]
1. LSU The Game of The Century? Probably not. It was definitely a classic though. Marquis Maze might beg to differ, but I was riveted. 2. Oklahoma State If you combined LSU-Alabama and Oklahoma State-Kansas State, you would have had an average football game. 3. Alabama We can’t possibly have a rematch in the BCS [...]
1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford Last Week: 29-40, 330 yards, 3 TD’s, 1 INT Season: 174-242, 2,218 yards, 23 TD’s, 4 INT’s Last week Andrew Luck showed why so many people have him as their favorite to win the Heisman trophy. After throwing a pick six, to put USC up seven, Luck marched right back [...]
1. LSU 2. Alabama How perfectly has this matchup been set up this season? At the beginning of the season, the SEC West emerged as the country’s most difficult division. These two teams then almost immediately separated themselves from the rest of the country. It was apparent early on that they were the class of [...]
1. LSU IT. IS. ON. We’ve been circling this game for weeks (months?), and now there is nothing in the way of the epic 1 vs. 2 matchup between LSU and Alabama. The Bayou Bengals haven’t just dominated teams this season, they’ve demoralized them. Even though they’ve played an impressive selection of schools that includes [...]
Wisconsin’s only loss last season came in the first week of Big Ten play, when the Michigan State Spartans hung 444 offensive yards – including 175 rushing yards – on the Badgers, beating them 34-24. The No. 6 Badgers return to East Lansing Saturday seeking payback. The Badgers are an undefeated, explosive, high-scoring offensive juggernaut, [...]
