Gators Fi-Lei Rainbow Warriors; Prove Florida Is Hotter Than Hawaii
On a day when Ohio State was leading its home opener 13-0 early and LSU led last year’s giant-killer Appalachian St by 31 points at halftime, it appeared at least early on that Hawaii would give the Florida Gators a fight. Florida won the coin toss and deferred to give Hawaii the football to start [...]

Primetime Pigskin Preview: Missouri vs. Illinois
This time last year, few people would have predicted that by the time January rolled around, Missouri would have held the #1 ranking heading into the last day of the regular season on the way to a 12-2 record, and that Illinois would have won nine games and played in the Rose Bowl. Now, the [...]
Oregon State loses game of inches (and game itself) against Stanford
Extra effort. Sometimes it can reward you with that key touchdown, that key first down. And sometimes, it can, well, go completely wrong. That’s the position that Oregon State receiver Darrell Catchings found himself in last night against Stanford. With Oregon State down 36-28 to Stanford and driving towards what could’ve been a tying score, [...]
Experience wins out for Penn State QB job
Penn State coach Joe Paterno has picked senior Daryll Clark as the starting quarterback for Saturday’s season opener against Coastal Carolina, beating out sophomore Pat Devlin. Paterno said Devlin would play but that Clark “had a good spring practice and a really good preseason. So we’re going to go with Clark and start him. But [...]
No QB rotation this season at Virginia Tech
Despite using a two-quarterback system that led the Hokies to the ACC Championship Game and an Orange Bowl berth last season, Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer has decided to redshirt one half of that combination and go with Sean Glennon as the full-time starter this year. At the start of camp, Virginia Tech’s coaching staff [...]
Tuberville not tipping hand on Auburn’s starting QB
Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said he would go right up until game time on Saturday against Louisiana-Monroe before announcing his starting quarterback between Kodi Burns and Chris Todd. Todd, a JuCo transfer, and Burns, a sophomore, both expect to play in the No. 10 Tigers’ opener, as confirmed by offensive coordinator Tony Franklin. Both say [...]

And yes, I am that excited. Mark Scott will be around tomorrow to give his predictions for the weekend in his regular videocast, but with the season starting tonight, I thought I’d toss out my picks for the matchups going on tonight and tomorrow. There’s a good chance the score predictions will be pretty off, [...]
Dallas’ secondary a primary strength in 2008?
Today, the NFL decided to, as expected, reinstate cornerback Adam Jones after an indefinite suspension. I know, cue the obligatory insults, comments regarding Jones or the Cowboys and their harboring of fugitives, blah, blah, blah. But, an important question to consider now that Jones is officially in their ranks for the regular season (besides if [...]
Merriman thinking present, Va. Tech thinking future
Who doesn’t care about two torn knee ligaments? Shawne Merriman, that’s who. Instead of having surgery on his troublesome left knee, San Diego’s star pass rusher is ignoring the pain – and doctor’s opinions – and playing this season. Where’s Mike Gundy when you need him? He’s a man! He’s 40 24! Okay, on one [...]
