Gators’ Percy Harvin should be healthy when UF opens fall practice
Want to find a Heisman sleeper this year? Look no farther than Gainesville. No, I’m not talking about reigning Heisman winner Tim Tebow but about the most explosive player on the Gators if not in college football: receiver Percy Harvin.
UF coach Urban Meyer said his multipurpose threat is “ahead of schedule” after having surgery on […]
With two top freshman QBs, Hurricanes’ Shannon to play both
For those who say a two-quarterback system doesn’t work in college football, be aware that the last two national champions (Florida – Tim Tebow and Chris Leak) and LSU (Matt Flynn, Ryan Perrilloux) used something of a rotation.
That’s not to say Miami coach Randy Shannon is expecting to win a national title with his young […]
Fighting Irish take hit in secondary
The defensive backfield was one of the few bright spots for Notre Dame last year and was expected to be a strength of the defense for the 2008 Irish because three of four starters were returning.
Make that two of four. Starting cornerback Darrin Walls will not be enrolled for the fall semester at Notre Dame […]
Gators take another hit(s) in defensive backfield
The Florida Gators’ secondary was a weak spot last year, as UF was last in the SEC in pass defense. That makes the news of two defensive backs needing season-ending surgery hit even harder for Urban Meyer.
Junior Dorian Munroe, expected to start alongside Major Wright at safety this season, will require season-ending surgery after tearing […]
K-State’s starting running back suspended
Kansas State suddenly may have a big hole in its backfield after junior running back Leon Patton was arrested early this week.
Patton was pulled over early Monday morning in Manhattan, Kan., and issued a citation for driving with a suspended license. But during a routine background check, officers found Patton had two outstanding warrants: for […]
Hoosiers get star QB Lewis back
Indiana star QB Kellen Lewis is back on the team after an indefinite suspension.
Bruins get their starting QB back
Clearly no college football team had the misfortune that UCLA did one day this spring, as on consecutive plays the Bruins lost their two senior quarterbacks. Patrick Cowan sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, prematurely ending his 2008 season. Then Ben Olson suffered a broken bone in his foot.
Cowan’s injury gave […]
Bowl or bust for Arizona’s Mike Stoops
Four years, 17-29 record, no bowl games: Yeah, you could say this year is the last chance for Arizona coach Mike Stoops.
Last year, the Wildcats were 5-7 and 4-5 in the Pac-10. Stoops came to Tucson with a rep as a defensive guru much like his brother Bob. But yet again the defensive was average […]
It’s Jevan Snead’s time at Ole Miss
One of the most anticipated quarterback debuts of this college football season will come in a place not exactly known as a quarterback hotbed (unless you are a Manning): at Ole Miss.
Jevan Snead was a former five-star recruit who went to Texas out of high school in 2006 but couldn’t beat out Colt McCoy as […]
Meet the beast of the Big East: George Selvie
South Florida’s George Selvie was one of the nation’s leaders in sacks last season? Who? Don’t know him yet (if you’re a Big East quarterback, you might not want to)? Well now you do, thanks to Matt Severance.
