Decommitments and transfers are a part of the game in college football. Whether it be an issue with the coaching staff, academics, scheme, playing time, teammates, off the field issues, or just plain old cold feet, players back out of commitments or transfer to a new school every year. Sometimes you can understand it, sympathize with the guy and move on. Other times it seems like the wrong move, a rash decision or an impatient ...

The easiest way to stop a college football offense is to put the opposing quarterback on the ground repetitively. The more a team puts him on the ground, the less efficient he will be at distributing the ball to play makers. When running most variations of the 4-3 defense the sack masters on the field are the defensive ends. Auburn had 28 quarterback sacks in 2009, with the bulk being made by defensive ends. While ...

College Sports are all about rankings, especially in football. Rankings end up telling who will be in the championship game or any other bowls at the end of the season. With that said, here’s my top 50 teams at the start of the 2010 College Football Season. 50. Northern Illinois 49. Michigan State 48. UCF 47. UCLA 46. Mississippi 45. BYU 44. Air Force 43.

Randy Shannon got his contract extension. All of the players on the roster were recruited by him. They no longer fall under the reign of Larry Coker. Senior wide receiver Leonard Hankerson called this season's mantra, "No excuses." Key starters are either juniors or seniors. The top-ranked recruiting class of 2007 has grown up. But how will the Miami Hurricanes actually perform this season? After a 20-14 loss in the Champs Sports Bowl to Wisconsin, they dropped to ...

While the recruiting machine for USC has slowed considerably after the NCAA handed down it's punishments to the Trojans in June, it has not stopped completely, nor has the recruiting world around USC ceased to turn. The Trojans continue to selectively offer prep players that they think can fit the more stringent requirements brought about by the specter of reduced scholarships for this recruiting year. In addition, intriguing developments have taken place with Trojans recruits in ...

One season removed from sending four teams to the NCAA tournament, the Mountain West is once again gearing up for a multiple-bid year. It is entirely reasonable to label the MWC a top-heavy conference as last season great disparity existed between the top four teams and the bottom five. This season's version may turn out the same but the possibility exists that some teams could make a jump while one in particular could slide. Starting at the ...

The month of August doesn’t seem to want to cooperate with my college football addiction. At the beginning of August, conferences and teams around the country conduct their media days and start the daily practice grind. And like most college football fanatics, I’m starting to suffer from withdrawal symptoms because August won't get here fast enough. No matter how much I plead with it, the month of August refuses to arrive earlier than usual. It ...

    At 6'3" 230 lbs with a 4.5-second 40 yard dash, Malcolm Williams appears to have all the tools necessary to be the Next Big Thing in the Texas receiving corps.   The only question is:  Will a wide receiver who's shown flashes of greatness with lapses in consistency finally mature, or will he continue to sputter?    The reasons to vote for Williams in 2010 come from both his upside and his ...

First off, I would like to thank Dominique Williams for giving me the opportunity to do this interview with him. Williams just graduated from Curtis Senior High School in University Place, Washington. He played basketball at Curtis Senior High School, and he has chosen to take his skills to the next level and play at Tacoma Community College in Tacoma, Washington—a program that is among the best in the country. Williams is a 5-foot-10, 150-pound guard who is ...
