It’s one of those statistics that now just seems preposterous, but single-handedly demonstrates the University of Alabama’s turnaround under Nick Saban. In 2008, when Alabama was 8-0 and en route to playing in the Southeastern Conference’s title game, it also had a losing streak in games played during the month of November spanning three seasons and nine games. From 2003 to 2007, its record during the month was an abysmal 3-14 (17.6 winning percentage). It had lost ...

2015 5-Star ATH Torrance Gibson has released his top seven schools consisting of Tennessee, Auburn, LSU, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Miami, and Central Florida. Gibson is an electrifying playmaker at the quarterback position, but has also garnered attention as a wide receiver. Bleacher Report's CFB analyst Michael Felder broke down how Gibson would fit with his top seven schools and where he believes the 5-Star prospect will have the most success. Which school gives him the best chance at ...

The 18th-ranked Arizona State baseball team (33-22, 19-11) enters the 2014 NCAA tournament as the No. 2 seed in the Cal Poly region. The Sun Devils closed the season by winning nine of their last 10 games, but they face a challenging group of teams, including nationally ranked Cal Poly and Pepperdine and WAC champion Sacramento State. ASU has had a roller-coaster season that has featured polarizing early-season position battles, a starting pitcher reassume the closing ...

A single second had been returned to the game clock. And on a perfect October afternoon in 2009, Jimmy Clausen and Charlie Weis were given one final chance to beat Pete Carroll and USC.  On 3rd-and-goal from just inside the 5-yard line, Clausen dropped back from the shotgun and rifled a pass to Duval Kamara, just across the goal line. The throw was never close. Kamara slipped making his cut on Notre Dame Stadium's fabled natural grass. And ...

One of the biggest priorities for first-year Texas coach Charlie Strong is to take back the state of Texas on the recruiting trail.  Texas A&M would like a word about that. And the word is "no."  (Or, "YESSIR." Either way.) On Thursday, the Aggies landed a verbal commitment from 4-star wide receiver Kemah Siverand of Cypress Ridge High School in Houston, Texas. That pledge came one day after 5-star dual-threat quarterback Kyler Murray, the No. 1 prospect at that ...

Auburn is coming off one of the most memorable Iron Bowl wins in history, so why not take advantage of it? The Tigers are hosting "Big Cat Weekend," a recruiting event during which recruits and their families are brought in for non-football related activities, and there is no better time to dust off the famous "Kick Six" to impress the future Tigers.  Chris Davis' return for a touchdown on the final play of the 2013 Iron Bowl ...

The NFL stipulates that in order for a player to be eligible for the draft, he must be three years removed from his last year of high school. Even if they took a redshirt, players from the 2012 recruiting class can declare for the 2015 NFL draft if they so choose, but players from the 2013 and 2014 classes cannot. This rule has run into some problems in the past. Former Ohio State running back Maurice ...

From four-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Willie Anderson to Lombardi Award-winning national champion Nick Fairley, Auburn has seen success over the years in recruiting players from the Mobile area, a region stocked with some of Alabama's top high school football talent. Perhaps the most famous football alum from Alabama's Bay Area for Auburn fans is Dameyune Craig. After leading Mobile's Mattie T. Blount High School to a pair of state championships, Craig had a record-breaking career as ...

You've heard it in seemingly every pregame or in-game interview done in the last decade or so, and probably beyond. “What do you have to do to win this game, Coach?” “We have to win the turnover margin.” It has turned into a cliche, trite comment, pulled from “The Great Book of Sideline Coaching Platitudes,” but here’s the thing: It’s pretty much true. Move the ball with efficiency and turn the ball over less than your opponent, and there’s ...

You have SEC questions, and I have SEC answers. Thank you for your questions. If I didn't get to them this week, they will be saved and used in the future. And we're off! @BarrettSallee Which new QB in the SEC is the most likely to have a break-out all American season? — Mitchell Tate (@Mitchell_Tate4) May 23, 2014 I assume you mean "new" as in "new starter." In that case, I'll go with Hutson Mason at Georgia due ...
