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...

Head Coach Kevin Sumlin is in his second year as coach but he’s compiled a very impressive resume so far, not including yesterday’s win vs. Texas Tech, and a Sept. 26th road...
Baylor starting QB Robert Griffin will miss the rest of the season with an isolated tear in his knee. This comes as heartbreaking news to the Baylor community as Griffin is the heart and soul of their offense. Griffin went down during the first quarter of Baylor’s game after he was stopped on a fourth down play. Griffin had a phenomenal freshman campaign for the Bears last year and earned Big XII Offensive Player of the Year by the conference’s coaches....

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...
