Another Year Without a Bowl at USC

Reggie Bush hasn’t carried a football for Southern California in well over five years. Yet his impact is still being felt today and it’s not positive. For the second year in a row, USC could go undefeated, finish first in their conference and roll through the rest of the country and they still won’t make a bowl game. Year two of a two year postseason ban is in effect, one that has crippled a once ...

Can TCU's Defense Repeat Last Season's Success?

 Silas Redd looking to be a Firework for Penn State

Penn State lost one of the greatest players in their entire history when Evan Royster graduated last year. He was their all-time leading rusher and was always productive in finding the end zone. He was a constant chain mover and really helped out the offense over his four years at Penn State. Now that he graduated the Nittany Lions must move on and the projected starter ...

What Does it Mean to be Notre Dame Today?

UCLA’s Neuheisel is on the Hot Seat

The Pac-12 does not lack coaches on the hot seat. Washington State’s Paul Wuff and Arizona State’s Dennis Erickson are certainly in need of a winning season, but the hottest seat in the Pac-12 may belong to UCLA’s Rick Neuheisel. The former Bruin quarterback created a lot of buzz when he headed back to Westwood, but he has had problems from day one. In 2008, the Bruins managed to win a mere four games and ...

Saying Goodbye to Husky Stadium

On November 5, 2011, Oregon and Washington will faceoff in another border war battle but this will have a little extra added significance as 90 year old Husky Stadium will be closing its doors for good in preparation for a $250 million dollar renovation. The renovation will turn into virtually a brand new stadium come 2013 and will be ready to write a new story in college football lore in the Pacific ...

There is Something Odd about Nevada’s Schedule

Nevada is not a bad team in a good conference where they need to schedule four easy wins to start out the year and hope to eek out two conference victories for bowl eligibility. They are a good team in what is turning into a bad conference. That means they need to schedule some tough non-conference games to gain some exposure. And they usually do. Last year they knocked off California and BYU. But this ...
