The Red Zone Report

Are times getting desperate in South Bend? A little over a month ago, Notre Dame was 4-1 and in position to show their worth as a Top 25 team. Now, heading into Saturday’s game against Navy, the Irish are 5-4, with their lone win coming against Washington. Charlie Weis is now taking over play-calling duties, [...]

As a head coach, no matter what job you take, at some point, you have to win games. If you don’t, you won’t be around after a while. Tyrone Willingham won’t be at Washington in 2009, as his official departure was announced on Monday. He’ll finish out the season, but that’ll be [...]

The Shuffle certainly has an appropriate name this week, doesn’t it? Instead of doing the usual Saturday Shuffle tonight, I thought I’d devote tonight’s shuffle to all of the shuffling and shaking up that there’ll be in the upcoming polls thanks to an upset-filled week to cap September. Every college football season, there seems [...]

After an exciting week last week, there’s no game that’s the caliber of USC-Ohio State, but there’s not a letdown in the least. This weekend’s slate offers up several rivalry games, a few key early conference matchups, and some good non-conference showdowns as well, and it all gets started tonight.

The season started with a home loss to Utah, which was followed by an uninspiring 16-6 win over Miami of Ohio. Then on Saturday, the [...]

After months and months of hype and buildup, USC and Ohio State finally took to the field on Saturday, and if you were looking for an exciting game, the only way that you got your fill was if you were a USC fan or anyone who’s anti-Ohio State, as the Trojans pulled away in the [...]

After what amounted to an in-between week produced a couple of upsets and a few more near-upsets, this week is the one we’ve been waiting for. There’s the big one, which really needs no introduction (but I’ll be doing a preview of it anyway), but you’ve got plenty of action before (and during and [...]

Notre Dame will have a new athletic director in the near future. Will one of their first acts be to evaluate the future of the football coach? Eddie Griffin gives his take on Charlie Weis' future and how important a resurgent 2008 will be.

Typically, Signing Day has been an oppurtunity for the rich to get even richer. While USC and Florida still reeled in top ten finishes, downtrodden programs such as Alabama, Notre Dame and Miami, all had some of the best recruiting classes of 2008.
