Ever since Sam Bradford went down, his national championship and Heisman hopes came crumbling down with him. Bradford now has an opportunity to get back on the field and reclaim those hopes and dreams. As The Matador reported earlier in the week, Bradford threw off the sling and began practicing by running non-contact short passing drills. However, before he can air-it-out or actually play, he must get a medical clearance. It appears he is taking this step today as...
Jacksonville.com reports that Florida consistently refuses to play stronger out of conference teams unlike other SEC powerhouses. For example, in 2005, Arkansas played at SoCal and Tennessee played at Cal in 2007 and then at UCLA in 2008. Georgia took the long distance flight to Arizona State last season and this season LSU traveled to Washington. Next season, Alabama is playing a home-and-home against Big 10 powerhouse Penn State. SEC schools are scheduling difficult non-conference BCS opponents, but it...
It’s comforting to see a school not prematurely throw back injured athletes onto the field for the sake of winning. Much to the dismay of the Cowboys faithful, Oklahoma State’s Dez Bryant will be held out of today’s game against Grambling State. The top WR in the nation is still nursing a tweaked hamstring and the school believes the best course of action would be to rest Bryant until he is fully recovered (Pete Carroll, please take notes). The...
For the year, I’m 1-1 on my lock of the week. I should be 2-0, but Northwestern’s turnover late in the 4th quarter killed my undefeated streak. So if you are looking to make some money back, my lock this Saturday is Air Force over San Diego State. In the last 2 meetings, Air Force has won by over a combined total of 57 points. Air Force is going to run all over San Diego State as they lead...
After a disheartening loss to Washington last weekend 13-16, Pete Carroll has had enough of Aaron Corp and will start QB Matt Barkley this Saturday. As Barkley takes snaps under center against Washington State, the question remains is he being thrown into the game prematurely? Carroll’s announcement seems a bit umbrageous, stating that Barkley’s bruised right shoulder has healed enough to put him back in the lineup. The phrase “has healed enough” should be a concern for fans and Barkley....

Missouri (-7.0) 34 NEVADA 27 Over/Under Total: 61.0 09:00 PM (EST) Time Friday, Sep-25 Nevada is 0-2 now after losing 0-35 on opening day at Notre Dame and then 20-35 last week at Colorado State, but the Wolf Pack are a better team than what they’ve shown. The offense in particular is better than the 10 points per game that they’ve averaged so far, as they’ve averaged a solid 5.9 yards per play in those two games against two solid defensive teams. The...
In response to increased terror alerts on the eve of the G20 summit, The Big House is beefing up its security for this Saturday’s Big 10 opener against Indiana. From a fans perspective, an immediate notice will be that no purses or other bags will be permitted into the stadium unless you fall into one of the exemptions such as medical reasons. There will also be more police presence throughout the campus and the stadium. Though no specific threats...
