PrintSome discussion of the Nebraska running back situation - Mendoza back to RB after Castille was booted.
A look at Tyrod Taylor as he begins his first year as the clear #1 in Blacksburg - He sought the advice of Michael Vick. Hopefully the discussion was limited to being the Hokie QB.
Two backup QBs leave Miami - Shannon makes it sound like a surprise and makes it pretty clear he thinks they were bad decisions.
Feature story on the best quarterback in the SEC - You know, Colt's old backup.
Buffalo's starting RB to miss his final season with shoulder injury - Gill now must follow up a successful year after losing the best QB in school history and the best running back in school history. Sure, not much of a history, but still.
Tennessee's decision at center was made for them thanks to a knee injury - We'll see if they can score double digits against Florida in a few weeks. Get ready for an acceleration of "Florida is the best team ever talk" after they crush a big name/bad team Volunteer squad.

Words can’t describe how good Florida is.

Florida’s bowls are so strong, they can ingest trash and crap diamonds.

Man the sense of deja vu gets stronger and stronger. The parallels between Florida ‘09 and USC ’05 are freakin me out. Hopefully Colt won’t need to lose out on a Heisman to Tebow in order to really make things work, but if that means we win the Nat’l Champ. I’ll take it.

ESPNU has been reairing last year’s big games. Last night was Oregon State vs. USC. At the start of the 1st qtr the commentators were kind enough to remind the audience that the 08 Trojan defense might be the greatest Evar.
Then we got to watch 4 quarters of a freshman RB and an offensive line with 2 true fresh, dominate the best defense Evar.
Taylor Mays is very tall, strong and fast. But has zero football IQ. If he didn’t have the physique of a Greek god he would just be a guy playing safety. He is the Lamar Odom of college football.
Anyway… my point is that in the history of college football it is extremely rare for college kids to live up to expecations. Many of the “star” players we will hear about on Florida are just good, but not any different than what other top 25 teams field.

Query from those of you in the UT know: Which UT back is going to lead the team in rushing yards?

Which UT back is going to lead the team in rushing yards?
It will be either Whitaker or Mcgee. It depends on which back gets more reps. I would have said Whitaker, but apparently McGee has come into this season with a renewed sense of focus and drive. That said, I doubt any back goes over 1,000 yards. Our rushing leader will probably be more in the 700-900 yard range.

With a lack of a tight end, we need a back that can pick up a DE blitz, fly out to the flat off release, and find the hole with a head of steam… Sound like Fozzy? No. Mcgee? No. Cody Johnson? Maybe, but he excells in the I and without a TE we ain’t gonna be running the I formation. I think that leaves one name that’s can do it all, is big enough for Mack’s BBW-esque love for chunk, and was made a promise he’d be the only guy in ’09…
By the OU game he will be averaging about 20 carries a game, and like Cedric benson before him TRE NEWTON will be the first freshman starting running back for a Texas bowl game since CB…
