Every time The Matador takes a step forward, it is inevitable he ultimately takes a step back. So to get back on the right foot (the lock of the week is 4-4 for the season) take Oregon over Stanford. The line should be -5.5. Oregon is the real deal. After a terrible start against Boise State and a close game against Purdue, the Ducks have been beating down on their opponents while their defense stands strong. In the last five games,...
On its face, it looks like no BCS team wants to schedule a road game against Boise State with no home game in return. Boise State is trying to fill a void in their 2011 season schedule. Even the WAC commissioner, Karl Benson, is trying to help Boise State land a BCS team. Benson is claiming that as many as 10 schools have turned downed a request to play the Broncos.

Prior does admit his leg is a little soar, but in his...
This Saturday marks the 300th game being played in Beaver Stadium. For all of my fans who will be joining me this weekend in Happy Valley for the Penn State v. Ohio State match-up, don’t forget to purchase your Terrelle Cryer T-Shirt. The t-shirt pays tribute to Pryor’s last season’s fourth-quarter fumble that ultimately led to PSU’s game winning TD drive. PSU won the game 13-6. After Pryor’s last second hailmary interception, he sat on the bench and wept over the Big Ten title...
For all you Vandy fans, the word is out. Starting QB Larry Smith suffered a season ending hamstring injury during last Saturday’s loss to Georgia Tech. At first, there was a slim chance that Smith could return, but after his MRI revealed an actual tear, it made clear Smith will not return anytime soon.
