36-Hour CramSession: College Football Week 3

The beauty of the unexpected bye week is that it gave us all an opportunity to see a lot more football on TV than most game weeks.
I learned the following:
Josh Nesbitt of Georgia Tech may be the best sophomore QB you haven’t heard about. That’s probably because he plays for Georgia Tech. Think […]

How Paul Johnson came up with his offense

It may be possible to divide offensive coaching into two camps. The first one camp says you should devise your scheme and then focus on finding the right players to fit into what you’re trying to do. The other says you should devise a scheme to fit around your talent at hand. Each system obviously […]

Defensive Coordinator Changes

We’ll find out after the Holiday Bowl whether or not Mack Brown makes any changes on the defensive staff. Other teams don’t have the luxury of waiting that long and so there has been some changes in the past couple of days.
Defensive Coordinator Ron English and every other Michigan assistant was fired by Rich Rodriguez […]

Rivalry Week: “You can throw out the records when these two teams play.”

EyesOfTexas’s post regarding the relative lack of upsets in the Texas/Texas A&M series got me to thinking about the line, “You can throw out the records when these two teams play.” Any truth to that axiom for other in-state rivalries? Clearly, it is not true for T+1. See the comments I made […]

I was not disappointed. The only thing that prevented this from being worse than it could have been was Georgia […]

God tells Marc Richt to stop calling stupid plays.

Georgia coach Marc Richt is no longer calling his own plays. That sound you heard was Bulldog fans letting out a collective sigh of relief.
Like anyone coaching football in the South, he talked to God about his decision. A burning hedge?
“I’d been praying about it,” Richt said. “I wanted to see if God would help me […]

Games I’ll watch this weekend.

Oklahoma State at Georgia
I’ve hated Marc Richt ever since he channeled his inner George McClellan in coming up with the offensive game plan against OU in the 2001 Orange Bowl. How bad was it? It was so bad that afterward Bobby Bowden thought to himself, “Hell, a retard could have come up with that shit” […]
