Nebraska Cornhuskers
Big Ten Conference

 

The Cornhuskers have made a splash in their inaugural year in the Big Ten Conference. They were throttled by Wisconsin in their first ever Big Ten Conference game, but bounced back and played much better for the reminder of the year. Now Nebraska is looking to bring home a bowl victory ...

North Carolina State Wolfpack
Atlantic Coast Conference

 

Since Tom O’Brien took over as head coach for the Wolfpack in 2007, the team has not done anything spectacular on the football field.  2010 was their best season under O’Brien when they went 9-4.  In 2011, quarterback Mike Glennon took over.  He was a ...

Missouri Tigers
Big 12

 

Missouri has not won games in their usual Missouri fashion. The offense does not necessarily set up the run with the pass. The passing game is surprisingly inefficient, but that did not stop the Tigers from having a pretty good season. There was a time when Missouri was 3-4 and looking at road trips ...

Michigan Wolverines
Big Ten Conference

 

The Wolverines have moved on from the Rich Rod experiment and are more than happy with Brady Hoke. Under Hoke the Wolverines have seen drastic improvement. Their defense, which was the laughing stock of the Big Ten a short year ago, has become a complete and formidable unit. Brady Hoke ...

Marshall Thundering Herd
Conference USA

 

Marshall snuck into a bowl game following a thrilling overtime victory over ECU. That gave the Thundering Herd a 6-6 record during Coach Doc Holliday’s second season in Huntington, West Virginia. This is a team that rarely blew anybody out, with the lone exception coming against UAB ...

Louisville Cardinals
Big East

 

Coach Charlie Strong has done a great job turning around the Louisville program. Back in 2006 this team was a blown 18 point lead away from playing for the national championship. That was Bobby Petrino’s last year with the Cardinals. The next three years did not go very well. And that was ...

Louisiana Tech Bulldogs
WAC

 

Louisiana Tech managed to navigate through a brutal schedule and come out of it all with a trip to a bowl game. Between October 1st and November 26th, the Bulldogs had just one home game. The unbalanced Western Athletic Conference schedule was in part to blame for that, but Coach Sonny Dykes ...

Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns
Sun Belt

 

Louisiana came into the 2011 campaign with very low expectations. Following a 3-9 season in 2010, the Ragin’ Cajuns picked up a new coach and seemed destined for a couple years of rebuilding. But Coach Mark Hudspeth and company had a different idea. Their rebuilding effort finished before ...

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Atlantic Coast Conference

 

Under Paul Johnson, Georgia Tech has been an interesting study in the ACC.   Coming from Navy, he was determined to implement his triple-option offense and he has done so with great success.  In his second season in 2009, he led the Yellow Jackets to an ACC ...

Big XII Football Week 14 Breakdown

#3 Oklahoma State vs. #10 Oklahoma

This is the game that we were all waiting for (until the Cowboys lost to Iowa State). While this game may not mean as much as we had hoped, a BCS game is on the line. Not to mention the fact that this is a rivalry game. Oklahoma ...
