For any Big Ten football fan that’s not too fond of the Wisconsin Badgers, a non-legitimate Wisconsin Badgers team gives hope to pretty much everyone else. So far the Badgers are 4-0 and have trucked every opponent in their path. However, those four opponents have been UNLV, Oregon State, Northern Illinois, and South Dakota. This week we get to see how good Wisconsin really is as they play host to the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Not to ...

The Maize and Blue are 4-0, and yes all the Michigan faithful are saying how this eerily reminds them of the last three seasons under Rich Rodriguez. This year has a much different feel to it, not only because there is a new coach in town, but because there is a man leading this team that believes in his football program and understands the intensity and passion of Michigan's rivalries and traditions.Obviously, Michigan's defense is ...

The Auburn Tigers got back on the winning track with a 30-14 victory on Saturday night against the Florida Atlantic Owls.Auburn only led 10-6 at the half but scored 20 unanswered in the third quarter to take control of the game. It’s tough to take much out of this game as the Tigers were facing an overmatched opponent at home, but it should set up Auburn with some momentum heading into next week’s trip to ...

Trent Richardson isn't high on the Heisman hopeful list. Why not? Can anyone show me why anyone in the country has been more impressive than Richardson?I suppose the argument could be made that Richardson isn't absolutely necessary to the success of the Alabama offense like Marcus Lattimore is to South Carolina's. And I suppose it could be argued that Richardson's 28th national ranking for yards per game amongst active running backs (coming into this week) ...

Twenty-five consecutive years. It has been that long since Kentucky beat Florida in football.Think about that...the oldest Gator or Wildcat player was at least two or three years from being born the last time UK topped UF. Emmitt Smith wasn't yet a Gator. Shane Matthews was a teenager in Mississippi, and Will Muschamp wasn't old enough to drive by himself.I could go on and on...Saturday night brought another chapter in Florida's annual bashing of the ...

Have you ever watched five year olds play soccer or t-ball?  Watching them struggle and stand confused on the field, maybe with a finger up a nostril, is both comical and sweet.  Watching a top-tier football program with the talent that Notre Dame has doing much the same isn’t nearly as comical. A number of BleacherReport.com writers thought that Notre Dame would put this game away with a double-digit win.  Most of their decision making ...

For Mike Sherman and Texas A&M, this one is going to sting for a while. The mere fact that the Aggies blew a 20-3 halftime lead, only to be held scoreless in the second half in a 24-20 loss to No. 7 isn't enough. It's the statement that the embarrassing loss brings with it. It says that just maybe the Aggies aren't ready to compete in the SEC just yet. Sherman has done wonders reviving ...

You can't keep a good man down. You also can't tell some people that they don't belong in the Heisman Trophy race. They don't listen.We've heard the names thrown about. Heck, I've thrown them around as much as anyone.There's Andrew Luck and Kellen Moore. And there's Marcus Lattimore and Russell Wilson.But what about guys like Tajh Boyd? How about Jeff Demps?Are they less deserving of being a part of the discussion? If you say "yes," ...

The Big East Referees blew a huge call today by awarding Syracuse an extra point that was clearly missed.Here's a link to a video of this egregious error.http://blog.syracuse.com/orangefootball/2011/09/syracuse_vs_toledo_video_did_r.htmlWhat makes matters worse is that this call was placed under video review and the officials still managed to botch it. I don't know how the replay official missed this.Missing a extra point is bad for a kicker, but missing this call was worse because you could watch ...

1. Step the Defense Up on Third Down/Watch Ford and Beckham WVU needs to step up on third down and lock up Michael Ford and Odell Beckham. On LSU’s first scoring drive the Tigers converted on two key long third downs. The Mountaineers cannot afford to let LSU keep using up the clock with long drives.  2. Stop the Stupid Mistakes The Mountaineers NEED to stop making stupid errors on offense. Their delay of game ...
