When I was playing youth football in the 70's, I dreamed of playing in college. By the time I was in HS in the 80's the scholarship limits had reduced the seats at the table, pushing players down from the big schools that used to take more and were now limited. Each step on down got players that...

I don't claim to fully understand the current way offenses seem to focus on running the ball. I'm from the era when you had a FB and the line focused on creating a single hole, and the RB got there as fast as he can. But what I do know is that there are some basic physics that you just can't ask...

It all goes back to what is important to you. I agree that Barry Sanders is the most explosive RB in history. Although Gayle Sayers was as explosive, just too short a career. The "complaint" about Sanders was the number of negative plays that he always had that offset the big plays. Comparing...

No knock on DH, I do think he's the best Alabama RB in NFL history and a 1st ballot HF. But... Don Hudson is considered by many as the 2nd best all time WR behind Jerry Rice John Hannah is still considered by most as the best NFL guard ever Ozzie Newsom was considered to be the top TE of his...

Every time you hear him interviewed he demonstrates what a good man he is. Hats of to him and his parents. Class act through and through. No one deserves this more. Could not be happier for Jalen and what he has achieved.

The funny thing is that CBB wasn't known for paying players well in the NFL. Now he's going to be dealing with NIL, where pay isn't required, its just how you improve your talent. Is he going to come in thinking, I can take limited talent (read scholarship only) and win? He won in NE because he...

Agree with everyone here, he is an excellent QB coach with a great track record in that role. As an OC, I expect to see some success between the 20's and bad red zone performance. There is a reason why he consistently ends up being out as OC and back as QB coach. As above, I wish him well and...

I worry we are seeing a combination of two issues. The first is the result of the coach change. It has been pretty obvious that CKD has experienced a level of "your not in Kansas anymore". PAC12 teams don't whip your butt for two QTRs after being down 28 nothing. In the SEC, even the "bad" teams...

Any chance there is a video of it posted somewhere?

Made the mistake of reading this. Big nothing-burger, I should have known better. Nothing real, and 8 months late on topic. Headline is misleading because so out of context. Don't bother

Howe Long once said he was double teamed by every center in the league - except Dwight Stephenson.

It took me 10 years to learn, from my oldest to my youngest, but figured out the best way was to head it off at the beginning. By that time I was done with competitive (travel) sports, which helped, but I started the season with a parent meeting. I told them up front I had three goals for the...

This is a perfect example on how timing and location can ruin a players career. When Daniels was at NE, Mac was nearly rookie of the year. Daniels leaves and then Mac Isn't good enought to be a starter? NE has bled talent for several years, and it was only because of Brady that it was masked. OL...

2011 LSU. Those two teams were so dominant, they beat every other team on their schedule by 21 pts. Every starting defensive player on both teams played in the NFL, also 4 more that didn't start.

I disagree. Not saying he wasn't good, but I don't agree 2nd best in history. In fact, if Kerry Goode doesn't get hurt, I believe there was an argument to make that he wouldn't have been the best back from the state at the time. Just in the past 25 years we've had Alexander, Ingram, and Henry...

I'm trying very hard to not have expectations for next year other than seeing quality develop on the field. I can foresee so many things that can affect the W/L column in a first year: Chemistry as players are shifted around because of new coaches/system Impact of the new system on key players...

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39294498/deboer-negotiating-contract-alabama-replace-saban Other than lack of ties to SEC and Saban, I'm happy. Given how replacing Bryant went, its arguable that a complete change might be something some would like. My only concern going in is...

The problem with any of these systems is they try but just can't account for who you lost to. There are just too many variables for SW to handle it well. For example, in 2011, Ark lost badly twice (LSU and Bama). They beat everyone else pretty solidly. A knowledgeable person could make a...

Its holding because it happens outside of the process of catch. The argument is that when holding occurs it affects the whole process and you cannot know if the ball would have been catchable. Interference is supposed to be impeding the ability to catch the ball, which would imply that the ball...

Take this with a grain of salt because I'm not a lawyer or expert, and what rules there are are unenforceable: 1. Anyone that wants to give. Some universities are attempting to route it through collectives, but from my understanding if you were a millionaire that wanted a particular player, you...
