The Emus could be tough. WE better be ready!

Bryce Williams did a great job pass-blocking. It gives the play away when he's in, but he picks up the block. We'll be watching him at that all season.

Cal Stoll used to always say that by the third week, you had your offensive line, so I'm not worried about that. They should be solid in time. The defense played a great game. Remember, everything NU showed us was new, so we were gonna give up some plays. AK had a rough go of it, and while not...

He struggled against, frankly, a Nebraska defense that is probably pretty good. It was opening day with a bunch of new faces. As long as we get the W, it was almost the best kind of W you want- one where he struggled, got a lot of bugs out (hopefully), and learned from it

I vote for asking our huge O-line to just plow through them until they stop us.

Oliver Luck's impact on PAC-4

With Luck there, the chances are better than zero now, for sure

The PAC-4 just hired Oliver Luck as a consultant to figure out what the next steps should be. This is a solid hire. I know Oliver, and he's an outside-the-box thinker. Nobody is saying now that the league will survive and grow for certain, but their chances went up definitely- they are not zero.

Let's see how St. Thomas does against Harvard, a consistent first-division Ivy team. We can learn a bit from that one game. Its important not to look at Ivies as typical non-schollies since they opened up their endowments to help fund tuition, placing many on "de facto" scholarship. It has had a...

Gil Dobie and Bear Bryant used to say such things

Although we haven't beaten Brutus in a while, we always seem to play them very tough

Note to Coach Saban: The best teams don't always get in. You have to EARN your way in.

First years of a coaching tenure are always gonna be questionable. I do think that some of the bad records that coaches experience in those first years are somewhat self-inflicted as they completely change systems, personnel, etc (or in Brewster's case, he just thought he "knew it all").

Well...perhaps the time is coming where CFB as we have had it is now outgrowing the college relationship. Perhaps the NFL needs to start chipping in for its own minor league, and leave the colleges to produce their teams from their students like they once did. Put the "college" back in college...

The MAC has always been a hotbed for finding new coaches. Many of the greatest coaches in the game coached there. That would be my first look.

And here's what will happen. College football will never "out-NFL the NFL". It will lose, and come in a distant second because that's the contest CFB chose. The sport forgot what got CFB where it is, what made it unique. The NFL would never be able to "out-CFB CFB". Now, CFB has just forfeited.

Its hard to say, Dean. They're each outstanding in their own way

sadly....yes

I long for the return of the days when bowls were simply named for commodities

Rutgers will never leave the money this conference provides, as well as the academic consortium. These are what makes the league so attractive and almost impossible to leave. Chicago, I believe, is still a member....they just don't participate in the athletics part of it. They are D3 in sports...
