After Maryland stunned the ACC by winning its home opener against a less than 100% Miami Hurricanes squad, the remainder of the season has been a complete downward spiral. Last night Maryland faced Notre Dame in its own backyard at FedEx field losing 45-21. Though it was deemed a home game for the Irish, Maryland’s campus is only a short drive away. However, out of the 70,251 in attendance, the Terps representation was almost nonexistent. The Fighting Irish absolutely...
Virginia Tech will be without one of their offensive playmakers this Saturday as sophomore tailback and return man David Wilson is a scratch for the upcoming game against North Carolina. According to athletic trainer Mike Goforth, Wilson was experiencing virus like symptoms all week which was ultimately diagnosed as Mononucleosis. This is a huge blow for the rebounding Hokies in a key Coastal match-up against the Tar Heels. The resurging Hokies will certainly miss Wilson’s 28.6 yards/kick-off return average...
From Miami’s opening TD drive to its aggressive defense, the Pittsburgh Panthers did not stand a chance of winning Thursday night’s game. The Hurricanes dominated on both sides of the ball trouncing the Panthers 31-3. Miami’s Jacory Harris wasn’t perfect as his tendency to throw interceptions haunted him again, but he did come out of Heinz Field the victor. Despite two picks, Harris was an impressive 21 of 32 for 2 TDs and 248 yards. Harris did give the...
Three years removed from winning his first and only BCS National Championship, LSU skipper Les Miles could be entering his last season as head coach of the Tigers. Miles assumed head coaching duties on January 3, 2005, when current Alabama head coach Nick Saban bolted Baton Rouge to try his hand in the NFL. Miles got off to a red-hot start by going 11-2 in his first season as head coach and earned a trip to Atlanta to represent...
During the 2002 national championship game, all eyes were on Ohio State RB Maurice Clarett as he scored the game winning touchdown in double overtime against the heavily favored Miami Hurricanes. Since that glories TD, it has been all downhill for Clarett. Clarett pleaded guilty back in September 2006 for possession of a firearm while holding up two people outside of a Columbus bar. Since then, he has been a guest of the state and he currently resides at...
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...
Ever since Sam Bradford went down, his national championship and Heisman hopes came crumbling down with him. Bradford now has an opportunity to get back on the field and reclaim those hopes and dreams. As The Matador reported earlier in the week, Bradford threw off the sling and began practicing by running non-contact short passing drills. However, before he can air-it-out or actually play, he must get a medical clearance. It appears he is taking this step today as...
For you Sooner faithful, it looks like Sam Bradford is back on the practice field. It appears he is taking a giant step forward in his recovery from his separated shoulder. Though he was very limited at practice, he was able to perform basic throwing drills from 5 to 10 yards. Coach Bob Stoops does not want to speak on a time table for Bradford’s return, but the Sooners favorable schedule may allow just enough time for Bradford to...
