Nick Chubb came back in a big way yesterday against North Carolina. Dime package is ten thoughts I have from the week that was in college football. 1. It doesn’t matter who quarterbacks Alabama, the machine keeps running. FYI. Jalen Hurts is Bama’s quarterback moving forward. I don’t care what Nick Saban says. 2. LSU lost to Wisconsin yesterday because they don’t have a quarterback and they can’t throw the…
The Minnesota Vikings found out yesterday that the cost of doing business in the NFL can be costly. After losing quarterback Teddy Bridgewater last week to a season ending knee injury, the Vikings traded a 2017 first round pick and a 2018 fourth round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for Sam Bradford. Bradford signed a two year extension with the Eagles this off-season to be the place holder while Carson…
Storyline: The Eagles travel to Ireland to battle ACC rival Georgia Tech in the Aer Lingus College Football Clsssic. Boston College needs to get off to a good start after a dismal 2015 season. There is pressure on Eagles head coach Steve Addazio. He made staff changes on both sides of the program to add some juice to the program. Here are three keys for Boston College in this game….
It’s national championship or bust for Baker Mayfield and the Sooners. Opening weekend in college football is here! I can’t remember an opening weekend with this many great games. Here are my predictions for some of the top games this weekend. #3 Oklahoma Sooners at #15 Houston Cougars: The Sooners are a national title contender but if they want to stay in the conversation, they will need to build a…
College football is here and it’s time to talk who are the pre-season favorites to win the Heisman. It’s a loaded field, so here goes. 1. Christian McCaffery, RB Stanford: McCaffery is the most versatile playmaker in the country. He plays all three downs on offense and he returns kicks. McCaffery will once again push for 2,000 yards from scrimmage. 2. DeShaun Watson, QB Clemson: Watson is one of the…
Storyline: Tom Brady is the story tonight. CSNNE Tom Curran reported earlier today that Brady is going to get the start tonight against the Giants. How long Brady plays remains to be seen. Jimmy Garoppolo is going to sit tonight out. Rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett will back up Brady. Here five things I’m looking at for tonight’s game. 1. How Long Does Tom Brady Play? I’m curious to see how…
The college football season kicks off in earnest this weekend with several key match ups that could have national championship implications. Here is our first top 25 poll of the season. 1. Alabama: Nick Saban has several holes to fill, namely at quarterback but if there one program that can plug and play guys, it’s Bama. 2. Oklahoma Sooners: Baker Mayfield and the Sooners are a national championship contender and…
1. Colin Kaepernick wants you to know that he will not be standing for the national anthem this season. In other news, Kaepernick still sucks and is overpaid. 2. I can’t say I’m surprised the Browns cut outside linebacker Paul Kruger. He hasn’t exactly played up to his $40 million dollar contract. 3. Make sure you are sitting down. Second year Ravens receiver Breshad Perriman might play Thursday night. 4….
In a somewhat surprising move, the Patriots released veteran defensive tackle Terrance Knighton after signing him to a one year deal this past off-season. The Patriots wanted to add a veteran presence along their defensive line to supplement their young guys and Knighton seemed to be a perfect fit. Pot Roast as he’s called even got into shape and trimmed down for the upcoming season. Unfortunately, being in the best…
Tony Romo is hurt again and the prevailing thought nationally is that the Cowboys season is already over. That’s hogwash as far as I’m concerned. Contrary to popular belief, the Cowboys season is not over. Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott has shown that he is more than capable of leading the Cowboys the first six to ten weeks while Romo is out. Why do I have so much confidence in Prescott…
