The Matador isn’t sure what’s going on down in Gainsville, but Tim Tebow has returned to practice, albeit on a limited basis. Though he hasn’t been officially cleared, he is slowly going through the motions as if he is going to play this Saturday against top rated LSU. Today, Tebow was in full pads and was throwing passes with the first team. Although, he did have a non-contact jersey which is typically worn by QBs. Even if the NCAA...
Oklahoma’s season hasn’t quite gone as planned. It’s only the fifth week of the season and they’ve been without their Heisman Trophy winner QB since week 1, their All-American TE’s season has been cut short because of injury, and now they’re going to be without their leading WR for possibly a month. Ryan Broyles suffered a fractured shoulder blade early in OU’s Saturday night primetime showdown with Miami, and he’s going to be sidelined for 2-4 weeks. Throw in...
BYU wideout McKay Jacobson will miss 4-6 for the Cougars with a strained hamstring. Jacobson suffered the injury during warm-ups before BYU’s game against Utah State on Saturday. An MRI was done and confirmed that it was a high hamstring heal, which generally takes a while to heal. In Jacobson’s absence, BYU will look to Luke Ashworth, and O’Neill Chambers to bear the load at WR. In 4 games this season, Jacobson has 280 yards and 3 TDs.
Ron Zook is desperate to do anything to get back in the “W” column–especially after Penn State stomped the Illini into the ground on Saturday 35-17. His latest coaching foray is to bench starting QB Juice Williams. He announced this shocking news on his radio show earlier this morning. Zook’s replacement is Washington D.C. native senior Eddie McGee who will face-off this Saturday against Michigan State. At this point, the move may not be a bad idea. McGee just...
The Gophers not only lost a nail-bitter to Wisconsin 28-31 on Saturday, but in the midst, they lost their starting center, Jeff Tow-Arnett, for the rest of the season. Tow-Arnett broke his right leg with less than a minute left in the game. Coach Brewster was devastated by the news as he had a close relationship with the junior. QB Adam Weber will also miss Tow-Arnett as they developed and worked together since entering Minnesota as freshman. Sophomore Trey Davis will...
Florida State is 0-2 in the ACC for the first time ever and now all eyes are on Coach Bobby Bowden. The most notable is Jim Smith, the chair of the university’s Board of Trustees. Smith spoke out openly saying its time for the Bowden Era to end. “My hope is frankly that we’ll go ahead, and if we have to, let the world know that this year will be the end of the Bowden Era,” said Smith, who has...
Pass attempt 380 proved to be fateful for North Carolina State‘s Russell Wilson. During this past Saturday’s match-up against Wake, Wilson’s 379 consecutive passes without an interception came to an end. Wake Forest’s Josh Bush was responsible for ending the record breaking streak when he picked off a poorly thrown deep ball in the second quarter for Bush’s first career interception. Bush successfully returned the INT for 61 yards down the sideline. Wilson now holds the NCAA record of...
