Oklahoma’s star TE Jermaine Gresham had the opportunity to be a first round draft pick during the 2009 NFL draft but just as Sam Bradford, he opted to pass on the draft and play his senior season with the Sooners. In an all to common story, Gresham was injured before his season really began and underwent season ending right knee surgery to repair torn cartilage. It is anticipated that Gresham will fully recover and he should be back on...
Penn State’s star LB Sean Lee is still doubtful for this Saturday’s match-up against Illinois. He is currently rehabbing his injured knee from the Temple game. Even if he gets back to 100% by Saturday, he will not be in game shape because of the long layoff. However, if Lee plays or not, it shouldn’t be too much of a concern as PSU’s defense is playing great ball considering its youth and on-going injury problems. What should concern the Nittany Lions is their...
Coach Tim Brewster just announced today the immediate suspension of two Gophers’ football players. Starting senior DE Cedric McKinley and sophomore back-up DB Tim Dandridge are both facing two game suspensions. The exact cause of the suspensions, you guessed it, violation of team rules. The suspension of McKinley serves as the biggest concern as he is a key impact defensive player who had a strong game in the Gophers 35-24 victory over Northwestern to open Big 10 play. Most notably, he sacked Kafka in...
Tate Forcier’s heroic efforts in Saturday’s comeback win against Indiana provided much needed relief to a Wolverine team clawing its way back to the promised land. Unfortunately, during the win, Forcier appeared to have injured his right shoulder after taking a days worth of beatings. During the 4th quarter, he was in obvious pain when throwing the ball and he was constantly favoring his shoulder. It also did not help that his teammates incidentally were making it worse. Coach Rodriguez is limiting Forcier this week in...
A frustrated Texas Tech team not only lost 28-29 in a back-and-forth game with No. 17 Houston, but the team will be without the services of colorful OL Brandon Carter. Coach Mike Leach suspended Carter indefinitely for violating team rules. This is a huge hit for Tech as Carter is not a only a bodyguard for Potts, but he is also a captain of the team. As of now, the school is not releasing any other details regarding the...
The Crimson Tide suffered a huge hit on Saturday when LB Dont’a Hightower went down in the first quarter of Alabama’s win over Arkansas 35-7. At first, the extent of Hightower’s injury was unclear, but an MRI revealed severe ligament damage to his left knee. Hightower will opt to go under the knife and will miss the remainder of the season. This is a big hit for the Tide’s defense and LB corp. As Saban labeled Hightower as one...
This is why you bench your star QB when you are blowing out the opposition. There was no reason for Tebow to be in the game so late in the 3rd quarter when Florida already had the game sealed 31-7. However, all Coach Meyer seems to care about is winning and winning with Tebow regardless of the cost. If you look at the play calling, Tebow only threw the ball 10 times the entire game but had 16 carries...
South Carolina’s 16-10 win over Ole Miss comes with a small price tag. Unfortunately, the Gamecocks’ DT Travian Robertson will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee. Robertson suffered this season ending injury during the 3rd quarter of Thursday’s game. The team released a statement late Friday night confirming the torn ACL and stated that Robertson is scheduled for surgery in the coming weeks. Robertson is listed as a junior so he...
