Pete the Pres: Carroll agrees to dual role with Seahawks
A day after firing Jim Mora after a 5-11 season, the Seattle Seahawks have already found their new head man. And as expected, Pete Carroll is finally making his foray back into the NFL head coaching ranks after nine success-filled seasons at USC. According to reports, Carroll and the Seahawks have reached an agreement in [...]
2009 Heisman Watch: The Case For Stanford’s Toby Gerhart
Toby Gerhart isn’t your typical Heisman candidate. Then again, as a white running back playing in the Pac-10 and dominating even the best of defenses, he’s not your “typical” anything. We could go on for days about the other four candidates going up against Gerhart for Saturday’s college honor, but why waste precious time? Why [...]
2010 NFL Draft Prospect: Stanford’s Toby Gerhart
I know what you’re thinking. Anyone who knows anything about Pac-10 football knows Stanford’s Toby Gerhart. He’s not a gem. He’s a force to be reckoned with. Hell, anyone who knows college football knows Gerhart. But even though this may be fairly accurate, his name isn’t littered all over ESPN. He’s not on the covers [...]
2009 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings – Outside Linebackers (4/20)
1. Aaron Curry (Wake Forest) Has all the physical tools and skill requirements of an elite linebacker. Has excellent timed speed, and elite natural instincts. Can be a bit overly aggressive. Hasn’t shown if he can be a reliable pass rusher. May have difficulty with play recognition at the next level. 2. Brian Cushing (USC) [...]
Florida-Oklahoma championship showdown headlines BCS matchups
There was a small chance that the BCS could’ve went a little nutty and spit out an Oklahoma-Texas rematch for the national championship, but after the coaches’ poll revealed Oklahoma and Florida to be 1-2, there was little surprise as to who would be playing for the national title. Of course, even Urban Meyer probably [...]
Bea-lieve it! Rodgers and Rodgers show leads Oregon State past top-ranked USC
So much for USC being the undisputed best team in the country, eh? For the second straight time, USC went into Corvallis, fell behind big, rallied, and came up short as the top-ranked Trojans fell 27-21 to Oregon St., a repeat of their 33-31 loss two years ago. In 2006, USC fell behind 33-10 in [...]
Where do USC and Ohio State go from here?
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 [...]
Oregon State loses game of inches (and game itself) against Stanford
Extra effort. Sometimes it can reward you with that key touchdown, that key first down. And sometimes, it can, well, go completely wrong. That’s the position that Oregon State receiver Darrell Catchings found himself in last night against Stanford. With Oregon State down 36-28 to Stanford and driving towards what could’ve been a tying score, [...]
2008 Arizona State Sun Devils Preview: Can Carpenter lead the Sun Devils to a championship?
It didn’t take long for Dennis Erickson to make his mark at Arizona State. The well-traveled Erickson was brought to the Tempe to take the Sun Devils to heights that Dirk Koetter wasn’t able to, and in just one season, he did just that. ASU started off the season 8-0, and not only did they [...]
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 [...]
