NFL Scouting Combine Storylines: Defense and Special Teams
There’s no Glenn Dorsey, Chris Long, Sedrick Ellis, or Vernon Gholston to get wild about in the 2009 NFL Draft, at least at this point. All of those guys were in contention to be the #1 pick in the 2008 draft, and all four were off the board in the first seven picks. What this [...]

The combine gets underway in earnest this weekend, with drills upon drills upon drills taking place from Saturday to Tuesday, starting with the offensive linemen tomorrow and ending with the defensive backs on Tuesday.

College Football Roundup: It’s not funny anymore, ACC
This weekend’s college football schedule was pretty light, but there was no shortage of action. There weren’t any earth-shattering upsets, which is why the top half of the new polls are mostly intact heading into next weekend, which will see several big games (Oklahoma-Texas Tech, Penn State-Michigan State, Cincinnati-Pittsburgh, Central Michigan-Ball State).

2008 North Carolina Tar Heels Preview: Looking to Surprise
North Carolina feels like they were not as bad as the record indicated in 2007, and they may be right. In his first season as head coach, Butch Davis saw his team lose six games by seven points or less. However, three of their four wins were by six points or less, so they could [...]
2008 Virginia Cavaliers Preview: A Rebuilding Year for the Cavaliers
In 2007, Virginia finished with a 9-4 record, but they could have just as easily finished 4-9. The Cavaliers became the first team in NCAA history to win five games by two points or less. However, a win is a win, and the Cavaliers had a chance to win the ACC Coastal Division when they [...]
2008 Miami Hurricanes Preview: Hurricanes Look to Regain Swagger
As Randy Shannon began his first season as head coach in Miami, he found his Hurricanes unranked in the preseason polls for the first time since 1998. While sporting one of the nations least productive offenses, Shannon finished the 2007 season with a 5-7 record and missed playing in a bowl game for the first [...]
