Ohio State's Tyvis Powell and Darron Lee troll Marcus Mariota, Melvin Gordon and Amari Cooper on Twitter



Ohio State safety Tyvis Powell became a Twitter sensation last week when he called out roommate Cardale Jones for his rent money prior to Jones announcing his intention to return to the Buckeyes.


On Thursday, Powell had Twitter abuzz again when he started taking subtle shots at Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon and Alabama receiver Amari Cooper.



What do these 3 players have in common.....??? 🙊 http://ift.tt/1ExHwdk


— Tyvis Powell (@1Tyvis) January 22, 2015

Of course, linebacker Darron Lee, who also became a Twitter star with his comparisons of Jones to LeBron James, had to chime in with an answer.



@1Tyvis oo oo pick me!!! I know the answer 😊

— Tyvis Powell (@1Tyvis) January 22, 2015

While this is some high-level trolling by Powell and Lee, it’s important to note that all three players — Mariota, Gordon and Cooper — are currently training for their NFL careers and all are expected to be high draft picks.


So yes, while they might be a little sad about losing the Big Ten title and ultimately the national title to the Buckeyes, I’m sure those three players will have no problem consoling themselves with their piles of NFL money.

Reports: Utah State hires former Oklahoma OC Josh Heupel



In this Saturday, Aug. 2, 2014 photo, Josh Heupel, Oklahoma co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, answers a question during media day in Norman, Okla. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki) A few weeks after getting fired as co-offensive coordinator at Oklahoma, Josh Heupel reportedly has a new job.


According to multiple reports, Heupel is headed to Utah State to be its offensive coordinator under head coach Matt Wells.


Heupel, a former Sooners quarterback who was the program’s offensive coordinator for the past four seasons, was let go on Jan. 6 after the Sooners trudged to an 8-5 finish. Before being promoted to offensive coordinator, Heupel served as Oklahoma’s quarterbacks coach from 2006-2010. He also was a graduate assistant with Oklahoma in 2004 after a brief NFL career.


He’ll replace Kevin McGiven, who left Utah State to be the quarterbacks coach at Oregon State under former Utah State head coach Gary Andersen.


Before his time as quarterback at Oklahoma, Heupel had playing stints at two colleges in Utah – Weber State and Snow Junior College – so he’s familiar with the state.


The Aggies went 10-4 in 2014, culminating with a 21-6 win over UTEP in the New Mexico Bowl.

Ole Miss' Elston and Stringfellow arrested for disorderly conduct



Ole Miss safety Trae Elston and wide receiver Damore'ea Stringfellow were arrested for disorderly conduct early Thursday morning.


From the Clarion-Ledger:



Safety Trae Elston and wide receiver Damore'ea Stringfellow were both arrested shortly after midnight today and charged with disorderly conduct, according to the Lafayette County Detention Center's booking log.




Elston was also charged with resisting arrest. Oxford Police Department officers were the ones on the scenes.




Details are not yet known, and an Ole Miss spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment.



Elston is a key part of Ole Miss' defense. He was sixth on the team with 59 tackles and had an interception. Stringfellow is a transfer from Washington who made headlines in 2014 for his off-the-field exploits rather than anything on the field.


He was suspended indefinitely by Washington in February after a post-Super Bowl incident with quarterback Cyler Miles. A woman alleged Stringfellow (who was accompanied by Miles) grabbed her and broke the lens of her camera. Miles was not charged in the incident, while Stringfellow was charged with misdemeanor assault.


Stringfellow was sentenced to five days on a work crew after a plea bargain.


He was apparently set to transfer to Nebraska, but later tweeted he was heading to Ole Miss. After news of his Ole Miss commitment spread, then-Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said to "read between the lines" regarding the situation.

Reports: Tennessee offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian leaving program



Oct 19, 2013; Knoxville, TN, USA; Tennessee Volunteers offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian congratulates Tennessee quarterback Justin Worley (14) after the game against the South Carolina Camecocks at Neyland Stadium. (Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports) Tennessee offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian is reportedly leaving the program.


Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports was the first to report Bajakian’s departure and Feldman reported that Bajakian is leaving to “pursue other coaching opportunities.”


According to VolQuest.com and Sports Illustrated’s Thayer Evans, Bajakian’s opportunity is with the Tampa Bay Bucs as quarterbacks coach under head coach Lovie Smith. Evans is reporting that Bajakian will join the Bucs’ staff, while VolQuest.com is reporting that Bajakian is leaving Tennessee and is “likely” headed to Tampa.


Bajakian previously spent time on Smith’s staff with the Chicago Bears from 2004-06 as a wide receivers coach.


Bajakian was with Tennessee as offensive coordinator during Butch Jones’ first two seasons leading the program. Previously, Bajakian was Jones’ offensive coordinator at Cincinnati from 2010-12 and at Central Michigan from 2007-09.


The news of Bajakian’s departure comes a few hours after Central Michigan head coach Dan Enos left the program to become the offensive coordinator at Arkansas. FootballScoop.com is reporting that the opening at CMU “might change things” for Bajakian, despite his offer to join Tampa Bay’s staff.


From Football Scoop:



Fox Sports is reporting that offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian is leaving to “pursue other coaching opportunities”. We can confirm this and add, per sources, Bajakian has been offered a very appealing NFL job (quarterbacks coach for the Tampa Bay Bucs…who have the first pick in this year’s draft); with this morning’s news regarding Central Michigan, a job Bajakian was in the running for when Dan Enos was hired, this might change things. Based on what we have heard, we would expect this to play out in the next 24-48 hours.



In addition to his time as CMU’s offensive coordinator, Bajakian was also CMU’s quarterbacks coach in 2002-03 and was in the running for the head-coaching job when Enos was originally hired in 2010 after Jones left for Cincinnati.


Bajakian certainly has ties to the Central Michigan program, so this situation will be one to keep an eye on in the coming days.

Andersen: Wisconsin's academic standards were a reason for leaving



Oregon State coach Gary Andersen said Wisconsin's academic standards were a reason why he left the Badgers.


In an interview with CBS Sports, Andersen said he was frustrated that he couldn't get some recruits into the university.



"It's been well [documented] there were some kids I couldn't get in school," the Badgers' former coach said. "That was highly frustrating to me. I lost some guys, and I told them I wasn't going to lose them.




"I think they did what they were supposed to do [academically] and they still couldn't get in. That was really hard to deal with."



Anderson also said this:



"That's not Wisconsin's fault," Andersen added. "That's Wisconsin's deal ... I want to surround myself with those kids I can get in school."



His departure from the Badgers after Oregon State coach Mike Riley replaced Nebraska coach Bo Pelini was the most surprising coaching move of the offseason. While Wisconsin is considered a good job in the Big Ten – it's right with or above Nebraska for best in the West status – Oregon State isn't in the upper echelons of the Pac-12.


After Andersen left, Wisconsin hired former offensive coordinator and Pitt head coach Paul Chryst to replace him.


Wisconsin reportedly requires more high school academic units (17) than Nebraska, Michigan State and Ohio State. And, of course, Oregon State. Andersen said he didn't expect people to understand his decision and that he took the Oregon State job without visiting Corvallis. He also said that the idea of junior-college transfers "basically became a non-[factor]."


He also refuted any notions that there was a rift between himself and athletic director and coach Barry Alvarez, who coached the Badgers in their Outback Bowl win over Auburn. Alvarez, Anderson said, was not a reason for his departure.



"He never one time stepped on anybody's toes in the football office," the coach said. "Please don't make Wisconsin sound bad in any way, shape or form. I love those kids. I truly love them."
