2008 Utah Utes Preview: BCS bowl beckons for Utes?
Last season, Utah was overwhelmed by injuries (51 total starts lost). The injuries had a great effect in the early going, as the Utes started 1-3 (0-2 MWC), including a 27-0 loss to UNLV, which was the Runnin’ Rebels’ only MWC win of the season.

The Cleveland Browns made multiple big moves in the offseason, and one of them was signing Pro Bowl defensive tackle Shaun Rogers. Rogers’ talent is unquestioned, but Matt Severance says the mindset is what will help Rogers make the biggest impact with his new team.
If Tarvaris Jackson is okay, Vikings could be Super
The Minnesota Vikings have most of the pieces in place to be a contender in the NFC this season. However, the one piece that needs to be solidified to take them over the top is primed to do so, according to Matt Severance.
