When Tennessee indefinitely suspended four key contributors, including star forward Tyler Smith, following their recent running afoul of the law, it was expected to be a massive blow for a team that had high hopes this season. And then, when Smith, a three-year starter and two-time All-SEC honoree, was ... Continue Reading

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 ... Continue Reading

If you thought last weekend featured the only big-time tussle in the bayou, think again. While this weekend’s college slate might at first glance pale in comparison to Florida-LSU, don’t be fooled. Three of the top-five teams in the nation square off against ranked opponents. If they’re not careful, they ... Continue Reading

Dominant defense, not offense, fuels Florida victory

Posted By Eddie Griffin On Sunday, October 11th 2009. Under NCAA Football Tags: Brandon Spikes, Florida Gators, Jordan Jefferson, LSU Tigers, SEC, Tim Tebow, Urban Meyer

As much as I was against Urban Meyer sending Tim Tebow out against LSU, I nor anyone else was the least bit surprised that he started for #1 Florida. Nor was I surprised that he was in the game the entire way. Given the short and long term risks of ... Continue Reading

So, LSU has won 21 straight night games and 32 straight Saturday night games at Tiger Stadium. So, Florida may go into their toughest game of the season without their field general and inspirational leader, and if he does take the field, he won't be anywhere near 100%. ... Continue Reading

Last week, college football fans saw four top ten teams (Ole Miss, Penn State, Cal and Miami) lose in disheartening fashion.

Alabama vs. Virginia Tech Preview and Prediction

Posted By Eddie Griffin On Saturday, September 5th 2009. Under NCAA Football Tags: ACC, Alabama, Greg McElroy, Mark Ingram, SEC, Tyrod Taylor, Virginia Tech

Alabama is favored by a touchdown for tonight’s primetime showdown at the Georgia Dome, but I’m high on the Hokies to take down the Tide. Yes, I know what happened last season when Alabama stomped on a highly-hyped Clemson team in Atlanta to kickstart their terrific season, but this Virginia Tech ... Continue Reading
