Alabama’s disappointment in the Sugar Bowl may have overshadowed everything else, but the SEC turned in some surprisingly strong showings during a bowl season that preceded Florida’s appearance in the national championship game. A look back, then, at the league’s winne ...

In the dead of winter and just because of the calendar, it has become somewhat of a human tradition of sorts to suddenly pinpoint major flaws for fixing and aim to finally tackle those menacing chores over the span of the next 365 days. When Rich Rodriguez decides to d ...

Kansas received two pieces of good news to start 2009. The Jayhawks not only looked impressive in their 42-21 win over Minnesota in the Insight Bowl, they also learned that Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman would not return for his senior season. Freeman’s departu ...

Don’t let Miami football coach Randy Shannon fool you. He was hired to clean up a program rife with off-field problems and miserable discipline. He was hired to bring respect back to a football team whose lasting recent memory included belting around opponents with fo ...

It’s sometimes hard for college football fans to stay optimistic if their team closes a season poorly. That happened to the Clemson Tigers, who allow a blocked punt and blocked field goal in their loss to Nebraska, 26-21, in Jan. 1's Gator Bowl. It was the kind of thin ...

Some NFL scouts look at Pat White and see Michael Vick, with all the good and bad that entails. Others look at him and see a wide receiver. Certainly, no one has ever questioned the West Virginia star's ability to make plays with his legs. He has, in fact, rushed for ...

The 95th Rose Bowl Game on Thursday was over before the first-half clock had expired. Doomed by 62 yards in penalties, a turnover, and an inability to lock down USC's receivers, Penn State was licked when Stephfon Green fumbled at the tail end of a 30-yard gain with 1:2 ...

Auburn Tigers offensive guard Tyronne Green is a 6-foot-2, 309-pounder who runs the 40-yard dash in 5.24 seconds. Prior to joining Auburn, Green, only a two-star defensive tackle prospect, played for Woodham High School in Pensacola, Fla. He was big and strong back t ...

After losing to Florida State earlier this season to drop to 4-5, few people expected the Clemson Tigers to be playing in a New Year’s Day bowl game. Three straight dominating wins later, and here they are waiting to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Gator Bowl. ...

Eleven days, 17 bowl games, and close to 3,000 pounds of prime rib consumed (thanks to the Lawry’s Beef Bowl with Penn State and USC at the pre-Rose Bowl Game activities and Texas Tech and Mississippi at the pre-Cotton Bowl events). So far, my prediction record stands ...

When Dabo Swinney took over for Tommy Bowden as the Clemson Tigers' interim head coach only six games into the 2008 season, he had everything to gain. After all, it was a surprise that the Tigers chose him to take the helm in the first place after Bowden’s resignation. ...

When looking at Gus Malzahn, Auburn's newly hired offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, don’t think of pointing your eyes in the direction of that 2006 Arkansas Razorbacks 'O' he headed solely. While that offense was a scoring machine, Malzahn wasn't necessaril ...

Not that an all-star invitation is a true measure of one’s worth, but if an unranked college football team can garner as many invitations to the Senior Bowl as the fifth-ranked University of Southern California Trojans, which club do you think underachieved? That’s rig ...

The Oklahoma Sooners celebrated Christmas a minute past midnight. With a dramatic flair, Jamarkus McFarland, the nation’s top defensive recruit, telephoned Oklahoma defensive line coach Jackie Shipp at 12:01 a.m. Christmas morning and announced his commitment to OU. W ...

Having the worst football season in school history and missing a bowl game for the first time since the early 1970s weren't enough for Michigan, apparently. In fact, the Wolverines continue to lose long after the season has laid itself to rest. One week ago, first-year ...

As new Auburn Tigers head coach Gene Chizik continues to push on the recruiting trail, it would seem important to note that the Alabama Crimson Tide currently has commitments from four of the state’s top 10 prospects. Auburn, meantime, has a commitment from only one -- ...

If the North Carolina Tar Heels want to be successful against West Virginia in this Saturday's Meineke Car Care Bowl, they must contain Mountaineers quarterback Pat White. Granted, this is on the top of every team’s priorities when facing West Virginia, but the Tar Hee ...

After playing for the Southeastern Conference championship earlier this month, there is growing evidence that Florida and Alabama have the resources to do the same next year. That’s especially true if Florida quarterback Tim Tebow returns for his senior year and Alabama ...

Newly appointed Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney has made some excellent hires recently, bringing in Charlie Harbison to coach defensive backs and Danny Pearman to handle tight ends and tackles. But there is one assistant coach who was on staff under Swinney's pr ...
