Defensive back Ryan Hill, and safety Vaughn Telemaque, were injured on Saturday during the last Miami practice before their season opener. The extent of the injuries are unknown, as Miami has only confirmed that the two suffered injuries to their “upper extremities”. Senior Ryan Hill played in 13 games for...

Penn State Cruises to Victory

Penn State Cruises to Victory

Penn State opened the season with an easy win over the Akron Zips. This game was sealed at half-time when PSU went into the locker room with a 31 point lead. Clark had an impressive performance going 29/40 for 353 yards and 1 TD. PSU’s receivers showed signs of their youth and inexperience by bobbling and dropping a few passes, but overall, the fan’s should be pleased with the groups performance. Leading the pack was Moye’s 6 receptions for...

Fans Groh-ing Impatient

Fans Groh-ing Impatient

This summer, The Matador polled its fan base regarding which D-1 coach would be the first to go. The fans overwhelmingly picked Cheeseburger Charlie. However, it looks like coach Al Groh‘s stock just shot straight to the top. In the Cavalier’s season opener against D 1-AA William & Mary, Groh’s team had an amazing 5 fumbles (4 were lost) in a 14-26 lack luster performance. Groh’s 5-7 record last season was bad, but to lose to a lower-tier program...

Bradford in a sling, BYU wins 14-13

Not only did BYU shock the #3 Oklahoma Sooners 14-13, but this crushing blow could prove to be worse as Sam Bradford went down in the second quarter when BYU defender Coleby Clawson leveled him. The clean hit caused Bradford to sprain his throwing shoulder and sidelined him for the remainder of the game. The Sooners, without their Heisman Trophy winner, proved to be very anemic on offense. Back-up QB Landry Jones stepped in but could not drive the...

Former D-I Transfer Shines

Former Penn State QB Pat Devlin made a spectacular debut as the Delaware Blue Hens’ starting quarterback at Delaware Stadium before a sellout crowd of 22,006 screaming fans. Devlin, who went 12 0f 15 for 227 yards, threw for 2 TDs and scampered for a running TD lifting the Hens past West Chester 35-0. The Golden Rams of West Chester is a D-II school and not the caliber of players that Devlin faced when playing at Happy Valley, but nonetheless,...

Small Sickness

Ohio State’s WR Ray Small is still not on the depth chart for today’s game against the Navy Midshipmen. It was reported last night that Small, OSU’s kick returner and wide receiver, was ill and would not play in the opener. Rumors are also speculating that Small may have been kicked-off the team or left the team for repeated violations of team rules. Since he has a history of trouble under Tressel, it shouldn’t be too shocking to fans...
