On the Mark: Ingram’s Heisman half fuels Bama’s comeback vs. LSU
In the three games prior to yesterday’s showdown against LSU, Alabama’s offense had consisted of Mark Ingram, Mark Ingram, Mark Ingram, and very little else. While Greg McElroy struggled in the face of dealing with strong defenses from South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Tennessee, Ingram flourished, establishing himself as perhaps the man to beat for [...]
Floyd’s return to Irish lineup boosts Clausen’s Heisman hopes
When Notre Dame receiver Michael Floyd went down with a broken collarbone against Michigan State on September 19, it looked like his season would be over, and the Irish would have to make do without one of the nation’s top big-play receivers. However, it’s a different story just a little over six weeks later, as [...]
No reason for Paterno to be scared of the big bad Delany
A few weeks ago, Penn State coach Joe Paterno made a call for the Big Ten to follow the path of the SEC, Big 12, and ACC to expand to 12 teams in an attempt to help the Big Ten be a bigger factor on the national stage. But last week, Paterno took a much [...]
Colt for Heisman in ’09?

Score one for the little guy? Utah proves they’re worthy of the big time
Four years ago, Utah was a team led by a hotshot young coach, with a cute gimmicky offense and a future #1 pick in the shotgun. The Utes rolled through their schedule and slid up the polls through the season, and when all was said and done, they became the first ‘BCS buster.’ The reward [...]

November will make or break Heisman hopes of McCoy and others
I feel pretty safe in saying that the next few weeks of the college football season will go a long way towards deciding the winner of the 2008 Heisman Trophy. With all due respect to the likes of Michigan State’s Javon Ringer or Missouri’s Chase Daniel, who was on many a preseason favorite list, the [...]
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 [...]
Will Tim Tebow be able to cut it in the NFL?
Last year, history was made in college football. And Gainesville, Florida couldn’t be happier for it. As the highly anticipated 2008 campaign approaches, much ado continues to surround Florida Gator sensation Tim Tebow. In 2007, Tebow became the only sophomore in college football history to win the Heisman Trophy. If his record-setting numbers on the [...]
Sooners looking to break BCS blues in ’08
Oklahoma hasn’t had much success in BCS games over the last few seasons, but with the talent they have on both sides of the ball, 2008 could be the year they break the streak, according to Jake Keyes.
