Going into last season, the Oregon secondary was widely regarded as the strongest unit on the team.  Self-proclaiming themselves as “D-Boyz,” the unit had an up-and-down season.   Last summer, they had to deal with tragedy when safety Todd Doxey drowned during a summer team outing. While playing with heavy hearts, the unit took turns wearing Doxey’s No. 29 jersey for all the home games and the Holiday Bowl. On the field, the unit had a solid year. They ...

This summer, the National Football Post is breaking down every team in the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly known as Division I-A) to identify players who might warrant interest from NFL teams in the 2010 draft. The UTEP Miners finished the 2008 season with a 5-7 record and will be forced to lean heavily on their offense this year if they hope to compete for a Conference USA title. Offense Jeff Moturi: No. 6, WR, 6'0", 190 Moturi is a thin wideout ...

Much has been made on Oklahoma State linebacker Andre Sexton's comments regarding the Sept. 5 opener in Stillwater. When asked about how Sexton felt heading into the Cowboys’ game with Georgia two years ago, he said his team probably felt intimidated. Then he responded with this, "Now we know. Georgia's the one that has to be scared. Not us." When I originally saw it, I thought a good number of people would take what he said out ...

This article is brought to you courtesy of SEC Sports Hub's Vanderbilt Commodores' Football page.   The Vanderbilt football team made no bones about it at the SEC Media Days: The Commodores are here to stay. Head coach Bobby Johnson emphatically reinforced that he expects his team to eventually compete at a championship level in the SEC, and he insists that the Commodores were not just a flash in the pan during the 2008 season. "I think the sky's the ...

It's apparent that there's a new atmosphere in Houston. University of Houston head coach Kevin Sumlin is quickly becoming a well-known figure on campus with the increasing expectations of the Cougar football program.  After assembling a solid 8-5 record in his inaugural season with the Cougars, it is widely expected that UH will be in the top 25 when the official preseason poll is released within the next few weeks. Coach Sumlin knows that now is ...

Earlier this week, University of Hawaii coach Greg McMackin made a very inappropriate comment about a dance that Notre Dame performed at the Hawaii Bowl a couple of days before the game. The comment was anti-gay and should never be said publicly by a person in his position. On Thursday, he issued an apology on the local news in Hawaii. Of course it did not sit well with the local gay community. They want more ...

The SEC has a rich and storied past. From the 1957 University of Auburn team, the first SEC team to go undefeated, to Steve Spurrier's '95-'96 Gators a la Danny Wuerffel, every SEC football fan has their favorite memory. What about a favorite player? It's often hard to decide, as the SEC has possessed so many gems. Here I try my best to decide on a Top 10 SEC Players of All Time list. I will ...

Perhaps Corch Meyer is suffering from some expectation related phobia. His operatives in the sunshine media do their best to bring the gatuhs back down to earth without compromising their homer status. Robbie Andreu changes strategy in his quest for quality time with his "Gatuh" idols, he is now playing hard to get: Deflating issues for Gators | GatorSports.com | The Gainesville Sun | Gainesville, FL "Florida seems to be receiving more preseason love than any other ...

Last year, Michigan Offense was flat out brutal to watch. They couldn't throw the football couldn't run the football and they kept turning the ball over putting the defense in bad spots. Some players still looked like they were in High School—Stonum, McGuffie, Odom, and the O-line was outmatched and inexperienced. This year Michigan has the experience at running back, wideout, and O-line. Schilling will be playing guard which that's probably where he belongs. Their not looking ...

It is the last week of July. For football fans, this is the deep breath before the plunge. All across the country training camps are getting ready to open...soon, but not just yet. The Irish report in 10 days. I was on the Notre Dame campus this past week. It was a beautiful early evening in high summer. Despite the peace and stillness, the echos were there, stirring, getting ready to wake up in just a few ...
