Arkansas RB Jonathan Williams to return for senior year
Jonathan Williams, Arkansas’ leading rusher, will return to the Razorbacks in 2015.
After being evaluated by the NFL Draft Advisory Board, the junior announced Wednesday that he will return for his senior season.
“I am very excited to return to Arkansas for my senior season and help bring the Razorback football program back to where it belongs,” Williams said in a statement. “Coach (Bret) Bielema and Coach (Joel) Thomas have been very supportive of me and my family throughout this process.
“My faith, family and education are very important to me and all three played a major role in my decision. I have many goals that I want to pursue, on and off the field. Graduating from the University of Arkansas is very important to me, and I look forward to running through the ‘A’ again in 2015.”
The 6-foot, 225-pound Williams gained 1,085 yards on 188 carries with 11 touchdowns to lead the Razorbacks, who went 6-6 in year two under head coach Bret Bielema. He along with sophomore Alex Collins (1024 yards, 12 TDs) will make for a formidable backfield for the Razorbacks in 2015.
“I’m always excited for players to chase NFL dreams,” Bielema said. “For Jonathan, that meant another year of growth on and off the field and a degree to carry him through life. I’m excited to have him here for another year that will help take him to new heights.”
In three seasons with the program, Williams has totaled 2,216 yards and 15 touchdowns. He’ll have a chance to add to that total when the Razorbacks take on Texas in the AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl on Dec. 29 in Houston.

Florida State RB Dalvin Cook listed as an associate in assault case
The case is still active and involves two men who “are alleged to have brandished a firearm at a neighbor on July 17, 2014.” Cook, FSU’s leading rusher with 905 yards, is “listed as an associate in the case,” TPD said.
Following a public records request from the ESPN’s Outside the Lines that listed 360 FSU athletes, the Tallahassee Police Department provided police records that contain the names of over 300 FSU athletes.
The public records request was filed by an ESPN reporter in September 2014. After the request was processed, the TPD Records Department provided ESPN with “over 300 police reports where the name provided by the reporter was mentioned as a witness, victim, suspect, reporting party, etc.”
After the cases were reviewed in accordance with Florida Public Records Law, the material was provided to ESPN and local media.
“We are committed to ensuring that every citizen of this community, including our university students, know that we take every report of possible criminal activity seriously,” said Tallahassee Police Chief Michael DeLeo. “We have an obligation, under state law, to respond to national media requests such as this and have done so professionally and with a commitment to openness.”
The TPD has faced scrutiny amid allegations of alleged favoritism toward Florida State athletes. The New York Times reported on a pattern of leniency from TPD toward Florida State football players, including an incident when cornerback P.J. Williams was said to have fled the scene of a hit and run accident.
Florida State (13-0) will play Oregon (12-1) in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day for the right to advance to the College Football Playoff title game.

The 2014 SEC coaches Christmas party
The holiday season brings holiday parties, so we wondered what would happen if the SEC coaches all had a Christmas party. So this is our best guess as to what would take place if all 14 coaches shared an evening together. No, this isn't real. And yes, this is being hosted by Nick Saban.
*Knock*
*Lane Kiffin raises arms in the air after answering the door.*
Saban: Hugh, you're the first one here. Merry Christmas.
Hugh Freeze: I'm also the only coach to beat you this season. So I figured I'd arrive early and bring back those memories.
Saban: That's thoughtful of you. You can give your coat to AJ if you'd like. He's taking coats tonight.
*AJ McCarron takes Freeze's coat and takes it upstairs.*
Freeze: Does everyone have a responsibility? It was good to chat with Lane at the door.
Saban: He's a great offensive mind, and I figured that opening the door would give him a chance to recharge himself.
*Knock*
*Kiffin raises arms in the air after answering the door.*
Kiffin: There's a man here with a gold hooded sweatshirt and gold sweatpants.
Gary Pinkel: What up, yo? It's G-Pink from the A-Kron!

*Will Muschamp and Gus Malzahn walk in together wearing matching sweater vests right after Pinkel. Kiffin raises his arms*
Malzahn: Will and I wanted to stop by before we head to the Waffle House for a real Christmas dinner.
Muschamp: I'm still invited, aren't I?
Saban: Not really, but I'm not going to kick you out. I embarrassed you enough earlier this year.
*Knock*
*Kiffin raises arms in the air after answering the door.*
Steve Spurrier: Howdy Lane, just checkin' in on my way to Shreveport. I figure I only got two or three of these left, you know, so I better make the most of it.
*McCarron takes Spurrier's coat. As he's doing so, Butch Jones walks in.*
Spurrier: Hey there, AJ? How's ol' Trevor Knight doing? You talk to him much after that asskicking? Sure sucks that your last football game ever happened like that. Better be careful. Knight's probably a better coat-taker than you are.
*Dan Mullen walks out of bathroom*
Mullen: Hey y'all, s*****r's full.
Merry Christmas from the staff party. http://ift.tt/1HhAUQ6
— Dan Mullen™ (@CoachDanMullen) December 21, 2014 Saban: When did you get here? And where's the plunger?
Freeze: Did you clog it with the pile of crap you showed against us and Alabama, Mullen?
Spurrier: Hey Hugh, how's that C+ team GPA working out for you? That GPA was just like your season. Improved, but still lower than expectations.
Freeze: You're going to Shreveport, Steve. We're going to Atlanta.
Pinkel: They might as well be the same place. And I remember South Carolina's last trip to Shreveport very well.
Jones: Guys, I'm just so happy we're going to a bowl game.
*Knock*
*Kiffin raises arms in the air after answering the door.*
Mark Richt: Hey guys, I brought Chris Conley's Star Wars movie to watch. Plus I have a bunch of autographs here from Todd Gurley. He said he wanted to give each of you a Christmas present. I drew some portraits of each of you and he signed each of them.
*Sandstorm starts blaring from the street and gets closer. Kevin Sumlin approaches the door with a boombox. Kiffin raises his arms in the air after answering the door.*
Sumlin: What up Spurrier, how's it going? We run this party.
Spurrier: I think you better get a trademark on that phrase pretty quick there, Kevin. How's ol' Kenny Trill doing?
Sumlin: Who's that?
*Derek Mason and Mark Stoops walk in as Sumlin is talking with Spurrier. No one notices.*
Saban: Appetizers are ready, everyone. Oatmeal Creme Pies are on the left, and some of Miss Terry's favorites are in the kitchen. The corn dogs are next to the Oatmeal Creme Pies.
*Knock*
*Kiffin raises arms in the air after answering the door.*
Les Miles: Ah, I knew I was at the right place. I could smell the corn dogs from the street. I knew I wasn't at Tiger Stadium.
Saban: Glad you could make it, Les. The grass smoothies are next to the blender. Everyone's here, right? Wait, where's Bret?
Spurrier: Probably interviewing for Michigan. When a man's trying to play Big Ten Bingo, you can't stop him.
Mason: Man, this appetizer stinks. Going to have to try another one.
Sumlin: You're crazy, Mason. This appetizer is delicious. It may be the best appetizer since the 2012 appetizers.
*Knock*
*Kiffin raises arms in the air after answering the door.*
Bielema: Sorry I'm late, Can't go too fast when you're trying to get somewhere. I'm all about safety, you know. The more parties you go to, the more times you could get hurt.
Spurrier: Knew it.
Malzahn: You'll never learn, will you, Bielema? The faster you go, the more you can get accomplished. Watch this.
*Malzahn starts dancing.*
*Jones joins in.*
*So does Pinkel.*
Mason: Man, this appetizer stinks. Going to have to try another one.
*Mark Richt has set up a viewing party in Saban's den. No one has joined him.*
Richt: GUYS! GUYS! MY CAMEO IS ABOUT TO START. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.
Saban: I've got my boat khakis on if anyone wants to go tubing. Just let me know and I'll start the process of going out to the boat.
Mason: Man, this appetizer stinks. Going to have to try another one.
Stoops: Mason, appetizers aren't quarterbacks. You can't just take one bite and then look for something better. Eat what's on your plate before trying another one.
Sumlin: No, Mason's right. I thought this appetizer was amazing, but after two bites it's terrible. Going to have to make a switch here pretty soon.
*Knock*
*Kiffin raises arms in the air after answering the door.*
Kiffin: Who the hell are you?
Chad Kelly: I'm Chad Kelly, only the greatest quarterback in the history of the game. Take my coat, McCarron.
Kiffin: Coach Nick, should I let him in?
Saban: I have no idea who that is. No.
Kiffin: Get out of here, dude.
Kelly: NO. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? YOU CAN'T MAKE ME LEAVE.
Kiffin: Leave.
Kelly: I'M GONNA GO OUT TO MY TRUCK.
Kiffin: Freeze, this is your problem. Can you take care of this?
*Freeze walks towards the door.*
Freeze: Dammit, this is the last time I sign a quarterback from East Mississippi Community College.
Richt: I'm gonna go curl. Who's with me?
Pinkel: I'll join you.
Sumlin: Hey Will, no hard feelings. Can you hook me up with a defensive coordinator?
Muschamp: Let me see what I can do, you're certainly more appealing than North Carolina.
*Saban reaches for an appetizer. A man identifying himself as Al from Dadeville bursts through the door before Kiffin can close it after Kelly and Freeze leave.*
Al from Dadeville: NO. DON'T EAT IT SAINT NICK. THOSE HAVE BEEN POISONED.
Saban: The hell? What are you doing here, Harvey? You said you had to help make the food as part of your community service but I said you couldn't be here for the party.
Al from Dadeville: Well I poisoned those appetizers thinking those would be what Gus and Will would eat first. I'm just trying to help you in the Iron Bowl.
Saban: Thanks for the heads up. I'll put these away. I trust you didn't poison anything else?
Al from Dadeville: No sir. The Bama in my blood overcame me momentarily. I'll leave now.
Spurrier: Boy howdy, this is a great party. I think I'll be here another 4-5 parties.
Bielema: Woo pig sooie!
Sumlin: What was that?
Bielema: Sorry, just happens sometimes. I can't control it.
*By this time, Stoops has fallen asleep in the corner.*
Spurrier: Boy, if that ain't Kentucky's season in a nutshell right there, I don't know what is.
Sumlin: So you're saying this party has been South Carolina in a nutshell? Mediocre?
Saban: You wish your defense was mediocre.
Sumlin: Will, this is why you have to hook me up.
Muschamp: I'll do what I can. I can see what Mack's up to, if you want. He could have a recommendation.
*Pinkel and Richt return from curling. Mullen has emerged from unclogging the toilet.*
Mullen: Who won? Richt: 34-0. Wasn't even close. Didn't even have my best stone, either. Left that at home.
Saban: It's time to eat. Les, will you lead us in prayer?
Miles: Gladly. Gather round, gentlemen. This Christmas holiday is for everyone, like election day. It's not like Columbus Day, which is for the Italians. Or St. Patrick's Day, which is for the Irish. Or Thanksgiving, which is just for the Americans. After all, we are in Alabama. Be grateful for what you have in life, as I am grateful for you, all of my baes. May we all be best baes in 2015.

Western Michigan walk-on Grant DePalma awarded scholarship (Video)
Western Michigan linebacker Grant DePalma received an awesome Christmas gift from head coach P.J. Fleck.
DePalma, a junior, walked on to the team after attending an open tryout. At 5-foot-9 and 218 pounds, he’s not the typical Division I linebacker, but he worked his way up from the scout team last year to become one of the team’s top defensive players, so Fleck – with a little help from Santa Claus – rewarded him with a scholarship.
DePalma led the Broncos with 97 total tackles this season. He also registered eight tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks on the season. He redshirted the 2013 season after transferring to WMU from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, an engineering college in Terre Haute, Ind.
“That guy’s what our program’s all about,” Fleck told his team of DePalma.
The Broncos, in Fleck’s second season, finished the season at 8-5 after losing to Air Force in the Idaho Potato Bowl on Dec. 20.
