2008 Washington Huskies Preview: Locker-led Huskies must deliver
Earlier this week, we broke down one Pac-10 program which is facing a must-win season in Arizona, but Mike Stoops isn’t the only coach in the conference on the hot seat.
Tyrone Willingham inherited a program that wasn’t in good shape when he took over following a 1-10 season in 2004. The Huskies […]
2008 Oregon State Beavers Preview: Some holes to fill, but Beavers should win again
We know how good USC has been over the last several years, but who has the best record in the Pac-10 in the last two seasons behind the Trojans? Cal? Arizona State? Oregon? Nope, nope, and nope. It’s the Oregon State Beavers, who are 19-8 in the past two seasons, with a 12-6 mark […]
Navy’s starting QB (say his name 10 times fast!) questionable for opener
Good news for Navy, as an MRI on quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada’s strained hamstring has not revealed any further damage.
Kaheaku-Enhada was injured during a scrimmage Saturday, and senior Jarod Bryant, who recently moved to the No. 1 slot back spot, has taken over as No. 1 quarterback.
Coach Ken Niumatalolo says there is no timetable for the […]
Mizzou’s Washington has locked down No. 1 running back job
The chase to replace Tony Temple as Missouri’s No. 1 running back appears to be over, and the winner is sophomore Derrick Washington.
Washington has big shoes to fill as Temple rushed for 1,038 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2007, his second consecutive 1,000-yard season, though he missed two games and part of another with an […]
Illini not immune to rampant injury bug
The injury bug in college football has hit another preseason top-20 team, as Illinois has lost projected starting defensive tackle Sirod Williams for the season.
Williams, a 6-foot, 292-pounder considered the strongest player on the team, had earned the right to replace the graduated Chris Norwell in the lineup.
But he injured his knee Saturday and learned […]
Rutgers yet to decide on Ray Rice’s primary replacement
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are expected to take a step back this year because they lost one of the best players in school history in running back Ray Rice, who’s now with the Baltimore Ravens.
All Rice did was averaged 5.3 yards a carry and is the school record holder in career yards (4,926), attempts (910), […]
2008 Washington State Cougars Preview: Can the Cougars hunt down a postseason berth in 2008?
Last year saw the end of an era at Washington State. Not exactly that it was a bad thing, as Bill Doba’s last four seasons produced three losing records and no postseason berths after 30 wins and three straight top-10 finishes from 2001-03.
To help get the program steered back towards the top […]
There’s an injury epidemic on Ole Miss defense
With new coach Houston Nutt inheriting plenty of talent at Ole Miss, the Rebels seem poised to be a sleeper team in the SEC this year. That is if they can keep their defensive linemen healthy.
Junior defensive end Greg Hardy, the team’s best defender, underwent surgery this week on his right foot to repair a […]
Meet the unluckiest person in college football
Another tough break for Pittsburgh defensive end Doug Fulmer, as he has suffered yet another injury that will cost him a full season, and it also costs the Panthers one of their starters.
The redshirt junior will require surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left knee, leaving the Panthers without a player that defensive […]
Vols dodge a bullet as MRI is negative on Foster
Any hopes Tennessee has of competing in the loaded SEC this year rests largely on the shoulders of tailback Arian Foster, so the news that the senior has been diagnosed with a just a bone bruise following an MRI this week is huge in Knoxville.
The bruise is thought to be the cause of persistent soreness […]
