The Genius of Gus Malzahn

Auburn offensive coordinator, Gus Malzahn, is arguably college football’s most creative offensive mind.

Most recent, his offensive philosophy has propelled the Auburn Tigers to the top of nearly every single offensive statistical category since his arrival last season. Under his guidance, this year’s Auburn...

However, with his name and reputation tarnished, Newton and his family decided it best to part ways with the University of Florida and transfer from the school. In January 2009, Netwon enrolled at Blinn...

Breaking news from the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that Georgia star WR A.J. Green will be suspended for 4 games by the NCAA after allegedly selling his Independence Bowl game jersey for $1,000.

This comes as a blow to Georgia as Green is the team’s most valuable weapon. Though nagged by injuries forcing...
