Colorado State RB transfers Dee Hart and Treyous Jarrells make the Rams a scary-good team



As the final seconds ticked down on Colorado State’s 31-17 victory over rival Colorado, coach John McElwain grabbed running back Dee Hart and gave him a big hug.


Were it not for the play of Hart and fellow running back Treyous Jarrells, the Rams probably would have lost the game. Both players rushed for 100 yards in their first games with Colorado State – Hart had 139 yards and Jarrells had 121 — to give the Rams two 100-yard running backs in the same game for the first time since 1996.


What’s most shocking about the Rams running game on Friday was that it didn’t really come together until the beginning of August. Hart left the Alabama program after the bowl game, got into some trouble with the law, graduated and then found himself reunited with McElwain, who used to be the offensive coordinator for the Tide. Jarrells, a junior college transfer from Grossmont Community College in El Cajon, Calif., didn’t join the Rams until the end of the spring.


Yet there was a major need for both players after Kapri Bibbs, who rushed for a single-season school record 1,741 yards and 31 touchdowns a year ago, left for the NFL and Donnell Alexander quit the team after just one spring practice. That left the Rams with Eric Williams, who played in one game in 2013, Jasen Oden, who converted from safety, and redshirt freshman Bryce Peters.


The addition of a strong running game makes Colorado State a far more intriguing program, especially since quarterback Garrett Grayson was stymied in this game completing just 56 percent of his passes for 134 yards and a touchdown (Grayson did throw for a school-record 3,696 yards a year ago). And a win over rival Colorado will do wonders for the Rams confidence especially going into a Mountain West Conference game against Boise State next week.


As for Colorado, many believed this was a must win if the Buffs wanted to go to a bowl game for the first time since 2007. It was a pretty much a tale of two halves for the Buffs. In the first half they looked solid and confident. In the second half they looked like the same Colorado teams that have struggled in recent seasons.


There aren’t many gimmes on Colorado’s schedule. Games against UMass (Sept. 6) and Hawaii (Sept. 20) are winnable, but the Buffs are going to have to steal some Pac-12 games to get to that elusive six wins. If they play like they did in the first half where quarterback Sefo Liufau was connecting with Nelson Spruce, who had seven catches for 104 yards and two touchdowns, then Colorado could beat some teams many might not expect them to beat. But if they play like they did in the second half where they struggled to have any offensive consistency, it’s going to be another long season.

Trick play helps Syracuse survive Nova in OT

Florida International bars beat reporter from covering Saturday's game



Florida International, apparently unhappy with the way the team has been covered, has barred Miami Herald writer David J. Neal from having a credential to Saturday's game.


Neal has been covering FIU since 2011. The Panthers play Bethune-Cookman, an FCS school, Saturday evening.


From the Herald:



No explanation was given by FIU, but Neal’s access to FIU coaches and athletes had been dwindling for months, to the point where he was no longer permitted to attend football practice or conduct interviews. Last week, when Neal attempted to write a story on the FIU women’s soccer team, he was told no one was allowed to talk to him.




“It’s unprecedented for any local team to refuse to credential our beat reporter without reason,” Miami Herald Executive Editor Aminda Marqués Gonzalez said of the four pro and two college teams the Herald covers on a regular basis. “The team does not get to choose who covers the program.”



It doesn't appear to be an issue with the Herald itself. According to the paper, a photographer and columnist were credentialed and a spokesperson for FIU quoted in the Herald story said the school was disappointed the Herald chose not to cover the game.


Perhaps it's because of FIU's choice? The Herald said it's "the only major media that covers a wide spectrum of men and women FIU sports programs year-round, from baseball to basketball to football to volleyball and soccer" and that after a thorough review, it stood by Neal's work covering the team.


A move to swipe credentials from a reporter in an instance like this is a bad move for any team, no matter the size and scope. However, it's an especially poor move for Florida International, one of the bottom teams not only in FBS, but in its own state. Florida has seven FBS-level programs. If they were ranked on popularity, FIU would be sixth at best.


The Herald may lose some readers with its move, but FIU stands to lose a lot more. Because of the standing of FIU, many more people would read a story about the football by seeing it on the Herald's website while browsing or flipping through the newspaper than who would abandon the Herald to seek out coverage from another outlet.


The school should be wanting the coverage, and no, the scrutiny and attention this move has garnered doesn't count as coverage. FIU was 1-11 in Ron Turner's first year last season. When you're 1-11, not everything is going to be positive.


It's enough to be known as a bad football team. You don't want to be known as a bad football team that also bars reporters from covering games without a stated reason. Unfortunately, FIU is resembling the latter.

Western Kentucky dominates Bowling Green in Jeff Brohm's head coaching debut



Jeff Brohm’s head coaching debut was a gem.


Nearly seven months after being promoted from offensive coordinator when Bobby Petrino left Western Kentucky in January, Brohm’s Hilltoppers racked up a school record 702 yards of total offense in a 59-31 rout of Bowling Green, the defending MAC Champions.


Led by senior quarterback Brandon Doughty, the Hilltoppers came out quickly and put the Falcons’ defense on its heels. By the 8:36 mark of the second quarter, WKU was up 21-0 and at half-time it was 31-10.


In game one under new coach Dino Babers, the closest the Falcons would get in the second half was 14 points, but Doughty and company continued to pour it on as he threw for 569 yards, another school record, and six touchdowns while connecting with nine different receivers. Taywan Taylor led the receiving corp with 12 catches for 185 yards and a score.


The 59 points scored by Western Kentucky, in its first season as a member of Conference USA and sixth overall FBS season, is also a new school record.



FINAL: #WKU 59, BGSU 31. Tops break five school records in process – total yards (702), most points scored in FBS.


— WKU Herald Sports (@wkuheraldsports) August 30, 2014


Doughty added three records of his own: Single-game passing yards (569), TD's (6) and completions (46).


— WKU Herald Sports (@wkuheraldsports) August 30, 2014

The decision to hire Brohm was a quick one by WKU. A day after Petrino was introduced (again) at Louisville, the school made Brohm’s hire official. Brohm was WKU’s assistant head coach and offensive coordinator under Petrino in 2013 – a year where the Hilltoppers’ offense saw a gradual improvement as the year went on.


After a 4-4 start, the Hilltoppers finished the 2013 with four straight wins to finish the year at 8-4. That late season momentum seemed to carry over into Friday night’s showdown – a game where Brohm said “everything seemed to go right.”


A road matchup with Illinois is next on the schedule for WKU and the Illini should definitely be on upset alert.

Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury agrees to contract extension through 2020



On the eve of the opening game of his second season as Texas Tech head coach, Kliff Kingsbury has agreed to a contract extension that will keep him in Lubbock through 2020.


The new agreement is a three-year extension that includes a salary bump up to $3.1 million in 2015. Kingsbury’s original contract, a five-year deal signed in 2012, was set to keep him with the program through 2017.


The school announced the agreement Friday night.


"There has never been a more exciting time within our football program than now," athletic director Kirby Hocutt said. "I am very proud of the program Coach Kingsbury is building and I know our fans are as well. We can't wait to kick off the season tomorrow night at Jones AT&T Stadium and are looking forward to a bright future."


Along with Kingsbury’s extension, the university also unveiled plans to build an indoor football facility, as well as a renovation project to the team’s current training facility.


“This is where I want to be and I couldn’t be happier,” Kingsbury said. “I can’t wait to take this thing to the next level.”


Kingsbury was a standout quarterback for the Red Raiders from 1998-2002, where he set a number of school records. He played professionally in the NFL, NFL Europe and CFL before starting his coaching career at the University of Houston in 2008. He then spent a year as Texas A&M’s offensive coordinator in 2012 before being hired by his alma mate in December 2012.


The Red Raiders went 8-5 in Kingsbury’s first season as head coach, culminating with a 37-23 win over Arizona State in the Holiday Bowl. The 2014 campaign will kick off Saturday at home against Central Arkansas.

Watch Michigan State RB Nick Hill pull a spin move for a touchdown (GIF)



Michigan State fifth-year senior running back Nick Hill matched his 2013 touchdown total with this videogame-like play during the second quarter.


Michigan State RB Nick Hill with a spin move for a touchdown

Hill took the handoff from quarterback Connor Cook at the 17-yard line, blasted through the line, made one defender miss, pulled off a nice spin move and then broke another tackle to waltz into the end zone. It was definitely one of the more athletic touchdowns of the game (though the Spartans had a lot of athletic plays for scores).


Hill’s touchdown made the score 28-0. He also had an 8-yard rushing TD to make it 35-0. The two touchdowns matched Hill’s touchdown total of his entire career.

Cuse QB Hunt ejected for punch in opener


Syracuse starting quarterback Terrel Hunt was ejected from the Orange's game against Villanova on Friday night for throwing a punch. From ESPN.com - College Football - Cuse QB Hunt ejected for punch in opener


Syracuse QB Terrel Hunt ejected for punching opponent in the head (Video)



Syracuse QB Terrel Hunt was ejected from the Orange's game against Villanova in the second quarter for punching a Villanova player in the head.


Yes, it was a punch, and yes, it was on purpose. Here it is.



Hunt is clearly mad about the way he was tackled by Dillon Lucas and felt Lucas came in late on the play. However, it's no excuse to punch him. And that doesn't even take into account the fact that the umpire was right next to the play. It was an incredibly easy call.


It's a stupid mistake too. Hunt is a senior and was Syracuse's primary quarterback in 2013. It's bad enough when a freshman does something like this, but a senior leader? Hunt knows better, but he has to act like he knows better. He's the quarterback. Limit the dumb decisions to avoidable interceptions and self-inflicted sacks.


He wasn't the only player to get punchy Friday night, either. Bowling Green's Darrell Hunter smacked Western Kentucky's Tyler Higbee. Just like Hunt, Hunter committed his offense right in the vicinity of an official and he was immediately tossed from the game.



(GIF via SBNation)


Pro tip: Don't punch players, especially in the helmet. If you're going to resort to dirty tactics, do it where it hurts. Punching a player in the helmet seems like an exercise in futility and a recipe for a broken hand or finger.

Northern Illinois unveils new white uniforms for Northwestern game (Video)

The new white uniforms with black numbers and letters with red trim will be worn when the Huskies take a trip east to square off with in-state rival Northwestern at Ryan Field next Saturday, September 6.


Two white helmets were also revealed along with the jerseys – one with the Husky logo and one with the “NIU” decal.


The players had great reactions as they turned the corner into the locker room to see the new jerseys, bringing to mind the awesome black uniform reveal for Ohio from 2011.



The Huskies’ season opened up Thursday with a dominant 55-3 win over Presbyterian, where the team wore uniforms with a corn pattern. They’ll have a few extra days to prepare for the Wildcats, who open up at home against Cal on Saturday afternoon.

Reports: Anthony Jennings will start for LSU, Blake Sims for Alabama



When LSU opens its season against Wisconsin Saturday, sophomore Anthony Jennings will reportedly be under center.


The New Orleans Times-Picayune is reporting that Jennings edged out true freshman Brandon Harris to earn the start “after putting in a strong week of practice,” but Tigers head coach Les Miles indicated earlier this week that both Jennings and Harris will play in the neutral site contest at Houston’s NRG Stadium.


Jennings made his first career start in LSU’s Outback Bowl win against Iowa last season. He saw action in nine games overall, including when he came off the bench to lead the Tigers to a win over Arkansas when Zach Mettenberger went down with a knee injury late in the ball game.


Harris was a four-star recruit in the 2014 class who enrolled early for the Tigers and impressed with his play in spring practice. A native of Bossier City, La., Harris was rated as the fifth-best dual-threat quarterback in the country and the No. 99 overall prospect nationally.


Jennings and Harris will be without one of the team’s top targets, five-star freshman receiver Malachi Dupre, in the opener. According to TigerBait.com, Dupre “has been hampered by a hamstring pull” that occurred early on in preseason camp.


Additionally, TigerBait.com is reporting that sophomore cornerback Rashard Robinson did not make the trip to Houston for undisclosed reasons. Robinson played in 12 games last season, starting two.


Elsewhere in the SEC, CBSSports.com is reporting that senior Blake Sims will start at quarterback for Alabama in the Tide’s season opener against West Virginia. Sims was competing with Florida State transfer Jacob Coker for the starting role.


Sims will get the nod, though Coker is expected to play when the Tide kicks off against the Mountaineers at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Coker, who lost Florida State's starting competition to Jameis Winston last season, was considered the favorite to win the job.

LSU's Rashard Robinson and Malachi Dupre don't travel for Wisconsin game



LSU went to Houston to play Wisconsin on Saturday without two potential key contributors.


Per the Advocate, CB Rashard Robinson and WR Malachi Dupre didn't travel with the team for the game. Robinson is a likely starter at CB but has been practicing with the second team. According to the Advocate, he's suspended for the game.


Dupre, a freshman, has an ankle injury.


Jalen Collins will start in Robinson's place. Robinson had 16 tackles and an interception in 12 games last season and earned a starting role near the end of the year.


Dupre was a five-star recruit out of New Orleans in the class of 2014 according to Rivals and sprained his ankle last week. He's been expected by many to contribute immediately to LSU's offense much like fellow five-star recruit RB Leonard Fournette. Only three players on LSU's roster had double-digit catches in 2013 (Jarvis Landry, Odell Beckham and Jeremy Hill) and all three players are now on NFL rosters.


However, Dupre hadn't been practicing with the starting 11 on offense throughout fall camp either. LSU is expected to play both Brandon Harris and Anthony Jennings at QB against Wisconsin. Coach Les Miles has been adamant about not revealing which quarterback will start.

Vandy's 'Anchor Down' jerseys officially banned

SEC releases statement that says Vanderbilt uniforms were not legal



Vanderbilt's "Anchor Down" uniforms aren't legal after all.


During the Commodores' 37-7 loss to Temple, Vanderbilt wore jerseys with the slogan "Anchor Down" on the back nameplates in place of players names. It's against NCAA rules to have slogans on the backs of jerseys, and Vanderbilt was penalized with a timeout per quarter, the punishment for the rule violation.


However, early in the second quarter, Vanderbilt showed referee Ken Williamson an email that purportedly said the jerseys had been approved. After looking at the email, Williamson rescinded the timeout penalty.



Friday, the SEC released a statement and said the uniforms were worn and the timeouts were rescinded as a result of a "miscommunication."


"A miscommunication resulted in Vanderbilt wearing jerseys during its football game Thursday night that are not permissible under the NCAA uniform regulations," the statement said. "Before production of the jerseys, Vanderbilt sought approval of the jersey design from the NCAA, which included the words 'Anchor Down' on the back panel. The NCAA responded with written approval of the design as presented and Vanderbilt proceeded with the jersey production, assuming hte approval was applicable to the slogan as well as the colors and overall design in the submitted layout."


"NCAA football regulations do not permit the use of slogans on jerseys. Vanderbilt was originally penalized for the jerseys during the game and after being shown the written correspondence, the head referee also interpreted the correspondence to mean the slogan had been approved. Vanderbilt has been notified it cannot wear the slogan on its jersey for future games and has agreed to comply."


Earlier this month, South Florida wanted to replace players' names on the backs of its jerseys with "The Team." However, because of the no-slogan rule, those plans were squashed. Service academies are the only schools permitted to wear slogans on their jerseys.


Even if the NCAA permitted Vanderbilt's uniforms to be worn in the future, we're not sure the Commodores would wear them again. Vandy had seven turnovers in the drubbing to a team that was 2-10 last year. It was Temple's first road win against an SEC school since 1938.

Nebraska coach Bo Pelini randomly has some choice words about the evils of marijuana



It’s Friday morning and a perfect time to take a moment to listen to Nebraska coach Bo Pelini rail against the evils of marijuana.


During the Big Red Breakfast on Friday morning, Pelini decided to go on a tangent from the usual celebration of the season opener against Florida Atlantic to tell the 250 people in attendance about the dangers of marijuana in our society.


“Let’s face it, it’s not OK,” Pelini said. “I think everybody that’s our age, my age, hopefully understands that it’s not OK. It’s not good. It’s not good for you. And these kids do it on a daily basis and a yearly basis … and it’s a real problem out there.


“Fortunately for us it is not (an issue) in our program. But I can tell you around college football and college athletics … serious in college. I guarantee you walk into dorms nowadays and it is a horrible problem.”


Pelini, who will probably never get a coaching job in Colorado or Washington where pot is legal, added: “It is out of control.”


I wonder what it was like for the 250 people who showed up to get a season preview from the head coach and ended up at a D.A.R.E. meeting?


We’re not here to judge Pelini on his politics — we really don’t care — just the timing of his tangent and perhaps the fact that his brother, Carl Pelini, was fired from Florida Atlantic last season because he failed to report drug use by his staff members.


Oh, and as an aside, Nebraska does have a scholarship offer out for wide receiver Cordell Broadus, son of Snoop Lion, a big advocate of the sticky icky icky.
