The Red Zone Report

Less than one week ago, with what appeared to be three easy games remaining in their conference schedule, experts penciled in a then undefeated Penn State team into the national championship game.  After all, how could the mighty Nittany Lions lose to either Iowa, Indiana or Michigan State. Well, they did.  To Iowa.  And that’s [...]

I was actually planning on doing a piece on Monday on who the next college football head coach to get that masking agent known as a buyout, but before I could get it hammered out, across the wire comes the news that Philip Fulmer is done at Tennessee. There was also the announcement that [...]

It’s close.  I can feel it. This is what Steve Spurrier must have meant when he consistently called Florida-Georgia the most important game on the Gators schedule.  The rivalry was so important to him, he obsessed over it.  The Ol’ Ball Coach became the first Florida coach to beat Georgia seven straight times.  Florida dominated Georgia [...]

Miami.  The U.  The orange and green.  That silly pelican.

No, I’m not talking about reigning Heisman winner Tim Tebow but about the most explosive player on the Gators if not in college football: receiver Percy Harvin. UF coach Urban Meyer said his multipurpose threat is “ahead of schedule” after having surgery on [...]

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 [...]

If you’re Urban Meyer, you know that the last thing that you have to worry about heading into this season is where offensive production is going to come from.
