From Gossip, Fast Fashion, Female Lifestyle, Sex & Love: CollegeCandy » College Candy - 10 Pop Culture Christmas Costumes for Holiday Parties Marcus Mariota, Melvin Gordon and Amari Cooper named Heisman finalists
The Heisman Trophy finalists were announced Monday evening and there were no surprises.
Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota led a field that included Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon and Alabama receiver Amari Cooper.
Mariota became the hands-down favorite to take home the bronze statue after accounting for five total touchdowns during the Pac-12 championship game against Arizona last week. 
Mariota leads the country in quarterback rating and, according to ESPN, the last two quarterbacks to lead the country in quarterback rating won the award. Mariota accounted for 3,783 passing yards, 38 touchdowns and just two interceptions this season. He’s also rushed for 669 yards and 14 scores.
Before the Pac-12 title game, Mariota was in a heated foot race with Gordon, who was having a stellar season, which included briefly breaking a 15-year-old single-game rushing record with 408 yards against Nebraska. However, Gordon struggled against Ohio State in the Big Ten championship and he likely lost ground.
He did finish the year leading the FBS with 2,336 yards and 26 touchdowns.
Cooper caught 12 passes for 83 yards in the SEC title game against Missouri, but despite his best efforts all season, he faced a major uphill battle. Only three receivers have ever won the Heisman Trophy and the last was Desmond Howard in 1991.
Tim Brown won the award for Notre Dame in 1987. Johnny Rodgers, who played multiple positions, including receiver, at Nebraska, won in 1972.
Cooper led the FBS with 115 receptions for 1,656 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Voters had to submit their ballots by Monday and each had to sign a waiver saying they would not reveal their Heisman choice. However, it’s difficult to see anyone other than Mariota walking away with the hardware at this point.

Like so many other teams, Central Michigan waited around on Sunday to find out where it would head for its bowl game. And rather than the team simply being informed of its destination by the head coach, Central Michigan had a more suspenseful way of sharing the news.
The reaction from the team is awesome.
It’s hilarious to see the way the video was spliced with what the players saw on screen and their reactions. Best of all, the two options came down to a game in Detroit (Quick Lane Bowl) the day after Christmas, or a game in the Bahamas (first-ever Bahamas Bowl) the day before Christmas.
You already know the players wanted to head to a warmer climate and the cheers when it came to fruition makes this one of the best videos of the year.
In the game, the 7-5 Chippewas will square off with 7-5 Western Kentucky from Conference USA. The Hilltoppers are coming off an upset win over Marshall that spoiled the Thundering Herd’s perfect season.
This should be a fun matchup at a cool venue.

Five bowl games we wish we could have seen
Here are five bowl games we wish we could have seen:
Baylor vs. Oregon
Who doesn’t love offense? This showdown would showcase the first and third-best offenses in the country. Baylor, which narrowly missed out on the College Football Playoff, put up 581.3 yards and 48.8 points per game over the course of the season while the Ducks averaged 546.2 yards and 46.3 points. Two of the nations top quarterbacks in Baylor’s Bryce Petty and Oregon’s Marcus Mariota would make for an awesome shootout. And compared to recent years, both teams aren’t completely miserable on defense. Who wouldn’t want to watch this one?
Alabama vs. Florida State
All season, as the Seminoles continued to squeak by against average ACC foes, critics wondered just how good Florida State truly is. The College Football Playoff selection committee continued to move the Seminoles down in the rankings even though they stayed undefeated. What team would provide a better barometer for how good the Seminoles are than the top-ranked Crimson Tide?
If the Seminoles get past Oregon and Alabama beats Ohio State in the CFP semifinals, this matchup can materialize and it'd be really fun if it does.
Jameis Winston, a native of Bessemer, Ala., wants it to happen, too.
Texas vs. Texas A&M
There were some rumblings that a postseason matchup between these in-state and former Big 12 rivals was in the works. Unfortunately, it did not come to fruition, but that doesn’t mean we can’t hope for one in the future. By all indications, the two stubborn programs won’t be scheduling one another during the regular season anytime soon, even after playing every year from 1915-2011.
Conference expansion ruined some great rivalries, but bowl games have a chance to briefly rekindle a few of them. This would have been a pretty competitive game, too. The Aggies started off the year 5-0 before coming back down to Earth and finishing 7-5. Texas, in its first season under Charlie Strong, seemed to improve on a week-to-week basis en route to a 6-6 finish. It would be a fun one.
Florida vs. Colorado State
This one is for the folks who love a good narrative. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I can’t think of an instance where a coach left one school for another school, and then the two schools were paired up for a bowl game. Jim McElwain leaving Colorado State for sunny Gainesville is obviously a step up, but you’d have to think that the 10-2 Rams would be the favorites in this matchup against the 6-5 Gators. It’d be a cool dynamic to see how the CSU players got motivated to play their former coach’s new team. Obviously McElwain would not be involved with either team for the game, but it’d still be cool to see how it all played out.
UAB vs. anyone
We’ve all heard about the plight of the UAB program by now. The Blazers learned last week that the program would be shut down at the end of the academic year and despite posting six wins this season, the team was not invited to a bowl game. UAB’s conference, Conference USA, has only five bowl berths. Five schools in the league finished ahead of the Blazers and league rules require schools with the best overall records to be selected. The team’s only hope of playing its final game on a postseason stage was from an at-large berth. Unfortunately, UAB was not given an invite.

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby says he would have voted TCU over Baylor
The Big 12 commissioner appeared on the Dan Patrick Show on Monday morning and told Patrick he would have voted Big 12 conference member TCU fourth in the College Football Playoff rankings over fellow member Baylor. Of course, Bowlsby’s comments sparked all sorts of controversy because while the teams were considered co-champions in the conference, Baylor beat TCU head-to-head.
The Bears also were ranked ahead of the Horned Frogs in the final College Football Playoff rankings.
"The only reason I say this is anything between our two schools — they had a better chance of staying in [the final four],” Bowlsby said. “It seemed like they were better positioned to have a chance to stay there.”
Both teams were left out of the four-team playoff. TCU, which was No. 3 in the playoff rankings heading into the final weekend, was jumped by both Florida State and Ohio State, which won their respective conference title games.
The Big 12 is a 10-member league and consequently doesn’t have a conference title game. Bowlsby admitted to ESPN on Sunday that his conference made a mistake by not having a conference championship, which wasn’t really a ringing endorsement for the league.
A week ago, Bowlsby talked himself in circles while trying to explain how the Big 12’s motto of “One True Champion” could still apply to co-champions.
Even Baylor coach Art Briles questioned the league’s credo after his team won its final regular season game and both his team and TCU finished 11-1.
The Big 12 was the only power conference left out of the inaugural playoff, which was somewhat stunning considering it had two teams ranked in the top 6 and one team that had been in the top 4 for a couple weeks.
It has not been a good couple of PR weeks for Bowlsby or the Big 12 and now it’s probably best to shut it down.
The Big 12 coaches, athletic directors and presidents will need to meet to discuss the next steps to insure a situation like this year’s playoff doesn’t happen again. Whether that means expanding to 12 teams or simply continuing to push for a waiver for a conference title game with 10 teams remains to be seen.

Vanderbilt fires defensive coordinator David Kotulski
Mason announced that he would not retain defensive coordinator and inside linebacker coach David Kotulski moving forward. Mason and Kotulski first coached together as defensive assistants at Bucknell in the late 1990’s. Kotulski then coached linebackers at Stanford while Mason was the Cardinal’s defensive coordinator. Mason then brought him over to Vanderbilt when Mason was hired in January.
“David is a very close friend and a true mentor,” Mason said in a statement. “Few coaches have impacted my career and knowledge of defensive schemes as much as Coach Kotulski. I greatly appreciate his service to our program in the last year.”
After going 3-9 and not winning a game in SEC play in his first year as head coach, Mason announced last Wednesday that offensive coordinator Karl Donnell, wide receivers coach Marc Lubick and strength coach Bill Hughan would not be retained.
The Commodoes were 70th nationally in total defense this season, allowing an average of 402.1 yards per game. Additionally, Mason’s team was No. 103 nationally out of 125 teams in scoring defense by allowing 33.3 points per game.

Big Ten institutes new concussion protocols, which include trainer in the review booth
The Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors announced Monday that it will change its protocol pertaining to the handling of in-game concussions and student-athlete welfare.
The conference now will mandate that each game have a neutral athletic trainer stationed in the replay booth with his or her own monitor to be able to closely observe any on-field incidents and replays. Those trainers will have the ability to contact officials on the field and relay their recommendations for a player’s safety. This person will be a supplement to the athletic trainers and doctors already on the field.
The move comes months after Michigan was thrust into the national spotlight following the handling of a concussion sustained by quarterback Shane Morris. Not only did Morris remain in the game after he was concussed, he also re-entered the game after his backup, Devin Gardner, was forced to sit out a play after losing his helmet. The action of the training staff and the inaction by coach Brady Hoke drew criticism from across the country and ultimately resulted in the firing of athletic director Dave Brandon and Hoke’s subsequent termination (though there were many reasons for his firing).
With this announcement, the Big Ten said it would hand out disciplinary action for those programs that do not comply with the new rules.

Houston fires head coach Tony Levine
The program announced Monday morning that Levine “has been relieved of his duties” following his third season leading the program. The Cougars went 7-5 this season, but athletic director Mack Rhoades decided to go in a different direction.
“Coach Levine and I met several times throughout the season, and again late last night, to discuss the state of the program. Last night I informed him we will be moving in a different direction with our football program,” Rhoades said in a statement. “Coach Levine is an outstanding leader and over the last three years he has demonstrated great commitment to our student-athletes and has been an outstanding role model for our young men. He has left the program in a better situation than it was when he inherited it.”
Levine joined Houston as special teams coordinator under Kevin Sumlin in 2008. When Sumlin left to take the head coaching job at Texas A&M in 2011, Levine served as interim coach for the Cougars in a Ticket City Bowl win over Penn State.
Levine’s interim tag was lifted and he took over as head coach for the 2012 season. In his first year, the Cougars went 5-7 in their final year in Conference USA. The program then made the transition to the American Athletic Conference in 2013. The Cougars went 8-5 that season, ending with a 41-24 loss to Vanderbilt in the BBVA Compass Bowl.
Things didn’t improve much in 2014 with a 7-5 record, so Rhoades decided to make a change. Defensive coordinator David Gibbs will serve as the team’s interim head coach when the Cougars play Pittsburgh in the Armed Forces Bowl on Jan. 2.
“Although we are excited to play in our second straight bowl game, the expectations of our program have changed over the last five years with the opening of TDECU Stadium and the current college football landscape,” Rhoades said.
Overall, Levine went 21-17 with a 14-10 conference record.
Rhoades said a search for the program’s next coach is already underway and a television reporter in Houston tweeted Sunday night that Washington State head coach Mike Leach has interest in the vacancy at UH.
Less than an hour later, Washington State, via its official athletics Twitter account, shot down the report.

Clemson QB Deshaun Watson could have surgery, miss bowl game
The prospect of Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson playing in the Russell Athletic Bowl against Oklahoma on Dec. 29 was dampened Sunday evening when coach Dabo Swinney announced that his star quarterback might undergo surgery to fix a partially torn ACL.
"At this point we may go ahead and do surgery, try and get him a three-week headstart on his rehab," Swinney said during the bowl teleconference. "Really want him to get all the skills and drills done this summer. That's something we're going to visit on pretty soon."
Swinney said the coaching and training staffs would decide Watson’s fate in the next day or two.
Watson suffered an LCL sprain against Georgia Tech on Nov. 15 and then partially tore the ACL during practice the following week. Watson missed the game against Georgia Southern, but did help the Tigers defeat South Carolina for the first time since 2008.
Swinney revealed after the game that Watson had been playing with the injury.
Watson having the surgery now would almost assuredly have him back on the field for summer drills and ready for the 2015 season.Swinney had previously intimated that Watson would play in the Tigers' bowl game, but that was when they were still in the running for the Orange Bowl.

USF fires its offensive and defensive coordinators
The school confirmed Monday that offensive coordinator Paul Wulff, defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan and assistant head coach/defensive backs coach Ron Cooper were all fired.
“I would like to thank Chuck, Paul and Ron for everything they have done in helping move the USF football program forward,” Taggart said in a statement. “They are first-class people and I wish them the best in their future endeavors.”
With Wulff’s firing, Taggart will now hire his third offensive coordinator in as many years. Wulff joined the program in January after serving stints as head coach a Eastern Washington (2000-07) and Washington State (2008-11). He also was an assistant with the San Francisco 49ers before joining Taggart’s staff this season.
This season, the Bulls finished No. 121 in the nation with 304.7 yards per game and No. 119 in scoring offense with 17.2 points per game.
Bresnahan was let go after two years with the program. The Bulls allowed 402.8 yards per game (No. 73) and 27.0 points per game (No. 68) this season. Before coming to USF, Bresnahan was a long-time defensive assistant in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts and Cleveland Browns. He also coached at Navy, Georgia Tech and Maine.
Cooper was in his second season at USF. In addition to USF, Cooper has coached at 14 different schools over the last 30 seasons, including head coaching gigs at Eastern Michigan, Louisville and Alabama A&M.
The Bulls ended their season on Nov. 28 with a 16-0 home loss to UCF to finish 4-8 on the year. In two seasons at the helm, Taggart is 6-18 overall and 5-11 in American Athletic Conference play.

Washington State LB Darryl Monroe reportedly quits team
Redshirt junior Darryl Monroe, a three-year starter at middle linebacker, won’t return to the Cougars next season. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound Monroe was third on the team with 70 tackles this season, despite losing his starting job in October. He also registered four tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
Monroe started the first seven games of the 2014 campaign before being replaced in the starting lineup by redshirt freshman Peyton Pelluer for the Arizona game on Oct. 25. Head coach Mike Leach said early in the season that Monroe wasn’t playing up to his capabilities and needed to “clear his mind.”
“I think he’s played cluttered,” Leach said Sept. 9, per the Seattle Times. “He’s got to clear his mind. He’s just got to pull the trigger and do it. I don’t know if he’s thinking too much. He needs to focus on just making plays.”
Monroe, a three-star recruit in the 2011 class, redshirted his first year on campus. In 2012 he earned the starting role at middle linebacker and earned All-Pac-12 honorable mention honors with 80 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and three sacks.
He continued his strong play in 2013 with 94 tackles, eight tackles for loss and two sacks.
The Cougars went 3-9 this season in Leach’s third season at the helm.
