Our legal montra is pretty simple: innocent until proven guilty. I guess this did not apply to the Vols’ Nu’Keese Richardson and Mike Edwards who were both permanently dismissed from the team for their attempted armed robbery charges. Meanwhile, safety Janzen Jackson is barred from team activities while the school awaits further information. This is by no way saying the players were not involved in any incident, but at the very least the players should all be treated like...
If it weren’t for bad luck, Syracuse would have none. Doug Marrone not only saw 21 players leave the program in his first season as head coach, but so far he has lost seven players to season ending injuries. It looks like that number is going to grow by two. Today, Marrone announced that sophomore kick returner Mike Jones and senior snapper/TE Dalton Phillips are both done for the season as a result of injuries sustained during the Louisville...
For all you dreamers out there, Tom Thompson is proof that if you fight hard enough your dreams will come true. Thompson is 61 years old and still plays college football. He is the PAT kicker for the Div. III Austin College Kangaroos. The 5’8 185 lb grad student kicked his way into the record books this weekend for being the oldest player to successfully kick a PAT for the Kangaroos (or college football for that matter). Though the kick was...
Penn State’s LB Navorro Bowman is a fan favorite and a game changing performer. In yesterday’s win over Indiana, Bowman sparked the anemic Lions with a 73 yard INT return for a touchdown which ultimately lead to a 31-20 victory. Before that play, PSU had no momentum or any drive. After the game, Bowman was questioned about his future and he seemed to indicate that he has played his last game at Happy Valley. He is poised to make...
Houston tried to mount a comeback but fell short 37-32 against UCF. Houston boasts one of the most prolific offenses in the nation. The team had a strong start of the season by upsetting Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. However, an unexplainable lose to UTEP and now UCF has taken Houston and Keenum out of the national spotlight. Case Keenum’s Heisman hopes have also dissipated but still had solid numbers throwing for 377 yards and 3 TDS. Prior to...
Nu’Keese Richardson was a top prospect recruited by the nation’s elite programs. He was wined and dined, and given everything a top recruit should receive during his recruiting heyday. It seems though, the same suitors that went after Richardson aren’t doing much to help him out as he was sitting behind bars since Thursday for his arrest for attempted armed robbery. After a lengthy delay and much after DB Mike Edwards and Safety Janzen Jackson were released, Richardson was...
You wont see Southern California’s WR Damian Williams on the field this weekend against Stanford. His lingering right ankle injury will keep the high-powered receiver on the sidelines. The Trojan’s will certainly miss their leading receiver who has amassed 45 catches for 688 yards and 5 TDs. Unfortunately for the Trojans, no receiver even comes close to his numbers. Joe McKnight is the closest with 17 catches. Their number 2 receiver Ronald Johnson will have to step-up and take...
