When asked about Erickson’s future at ASU on Arizona’s 620 KTAR, school athletic director Lisa Love gave him a strong vote of confidence. “I still support Dennis Erickson you bet I do. You’ve got to allow someone to go through the entire process. I’m impressed, by the way, with the process, the recruiting roster, the level of talent and the stable of redshirts we...
Add one more blow to list of Washington’s (3-5) dull season. The Huskies will face #1 Oregon without the services of starting QB Jake Locker. Locker, who has been one of the year’s biggest disappointments, suffered a fractured rib last Saturday against Stanford after taking several brutal hits in the game. The Huskies’ QB had been bothered by cartilage damage to the same rib since playing Oregon State, but continued playing through the injury. “It was something that was checked out and making sure nothing changed...

ASU’s Steven Threet will take the field as starting quarterback for the first time in nearly two years when Arizona State opens their season against Portland State this Saturday. Threet has been somewhat of a gypsy throughout his collegiate football career. The 6’4, 240 lb., redshirt junior has played for three division 1 programs since graduating high school in 2006. He originally committed and enrolled at Georgia Tech before transferring to Michigan. Threet started in eight games for the Wolverines in 2008 but was less...

Tyler and Allen Bradford were competing for the starting job this off-season and many expected Bradford to fill the shoes of former Trojan RB Joe McKnight. However, Tyler had other plans in mind. Plagued by a toe injury last season, Tyler only saw action in one game in which he rushed five times for 72...
In the post-Masoli era, it looks like Eugene found its new triggerman much to the satisfaction of the Oregon faithful. Yesterday, QB Darron Thomas was named the starting quarterback for the Oregon Ducks. Thomas was in a heated QB battle with fifth year senior Nate Costa that lasted all preseason. Fans were getting antsy as to who would be their starter when the season kicks off September 4th against the Lobos. Coach Chip Kelly opted for the red-shirt sophomore...
Don’t look now but former Oregon QB Jeremiah Masoli could end up in the SEC at Ole Miss. Life after Jevan Snead is underway in Oxford and the Rebels are heading into the 2010 season lacking depth at QB. As of now, the Rebs are carrying only two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster after Raymond Cotton’s transfer was confirmed yesterday. It has been rumored that Masoli has shown interest in playing for Houston Nutt at Ole Miss, but Nutt has...
UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel has more than enough duties with running a high-profile division 1 football program that baby sitter shouldn’t be one of them. Three of UCLA’s prized freshman recruits were arrested on felony suspicion of theft last Thursday in connection with the theft of a female student’s backpack on the Westwood campus. The contents taken in the young woman’s backpack are estimated to have a value of $1,200.00. Arrests were made after law enforcement officers observed video surveillance...
