As we head into another college football season there are a lot of ideas and opinions circulating. Even though everyone is entitled to their own opinions, some are more accurate and realistic than others.. So before you turn on your TV on the first Saturday in September, however, here are some things to watch out for.Begin Slideshow

The Huskies are back at it again.  This summer they've picked up the intensity level, and with new offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead the Huskies should be even more exciting to watch this season.  Zach Fraser will be under center on offense and linebacker Scott Lutrus will be leading the defense this season. UConn is a team in the Big East that has now been to two straight bowl games.  They have played well against other Big ...

College football has not yet begun, and the Syracuse Orange has pulled off a publicity stunt worthy of the late Bill Veeck. Doug Marrone, the new head coach of the Orange football team, has named Greg Paulus as his starting quarterback. For the last four years, Paulus has played basketball as a point guard for Duke University.  In 2004, Paulus was selected the Gatorade National Football Player of the Year. While attending Christian Brothers Academy in suburban ...

When defensive coordinator Will Muschamp made his debut on the 40 Acres last season, the Texas defense regained the tenacity that had been missing through the 2006 and 2007 seasons. The Longhorn defense held opponents to an average of 18 points a game last season, down from 25 in 2007.  Texas also improved in total defense, giving up 342 yards a game, down from 378 in 2007. The run defense was impressive as usual, holding opponents to 83.5 ...

Rams Head coach Steve Fairchild said earlier in the week that the QB battle in Fort Collins was still going on, as none of the players had “played consistently” enough for him. Following the team’s practice last Saturday at Huges Stadium, Fairchild ripped the quarterbacks as he said, “They had no idea what they were doing, and on the rare occasion when they did do the right thing, they couldn't hit what they were throwing ...

Greetings, Buff fans, from CU at the Game!   Two weeks until kickoff of the 2009 season—are you ready for some CU football?   There are pluses and minuses when a team only gets to beat up on their teammates. For every long touchdown pass, there is a blown coverage in the secondary; for every celebrated sack, there is a missed assignment on the offensive line.   Toward that end, there have been many good things happen at fall camp so far, ...

Headed into the Crimson Tide's 2009 fall camp the view behind Playboy All-American Julio Jones was hazy to say the least. Head coach Nick Saban made no secret that one of fall camp's key goals was to find one or more receivers to complement Jones in the passing game. In 2008 Jones had a breakout freshman year accounting for over 900 receiving yards. He accomplished this feat in spite of the fact that no other receiver brought in ...

Head coach Lane Kiffin wanted everything about Saturday's scrimmage to feel like a real game day.  Kiffin spent the better part of the week calling it "the most important day of fall camp." The scrimmage was key for many position battles, but really was sort of a test for quarterback Jonathan Crompton.  Kiffin made comments at various times during the week leading up that the leader in quarterback race, which everyone felt was decided prior ...

Some may boast of prowess bold, of the school they think so grand. But there is a spirit that can never be told, it is the spirit of Aggieland. Indeed, there is an unmistakable aura surrounding college station and the University they hold so dear. An ambiance that engulfs the community so invigorating that even Texas fans are forced to appreciate upon every visit. What is it about Texas A&M that makes it such a special place? To start with, you'd be ...

Virginia Tech held it's second scrimmage yesterday, and finally answered the question that has been hanging for the last several days. Ju-Ju Clayton will become the Hokie's backup quarterback, and Logan Thomas will redshirt. Earlier last week, all reports seemed to hint that Thomas, a freshman phenom, had pulled ahead of Clayton and would likely be named the No. 2. Thomas was continuing to impress in practice, and Clayton appeared to be slipping behind.  After Saturday's scrimmage, ...
