High & Low Lights from the ’07 Bowl Season that was……..


Trojan Power: John David Booty (JDB as I like to call him) made the Illinois D look like Swiss Cheese as he and the USC Offense played pitch and catch all day. The totals for USC are pretty staggering as the raked up 633 total yards of the Big O. Again, we end another year with the question..Is USC the best team in the country?

Kegs a flowing: Cheers to New Mexico State U as they ended a 46 year bowl drought by beating Nevada in a shutout. Nevada was last shut out almost 30 years ago.

Go Home: Bowling Green U which lost in the GMAC Bowl followed a horrible trend by MAC teams as the three teams that were represented each lost by 51, 52, and 63 points and finished 0-3. Better luck next year.
Looking forward to the 2008 Season..It’s just never too early.

USC looks again to keep on track as Mark Sanchez will take over for the departing JDB @ QB….The Georgia Bulldogs finished the season as strong as any one is the land and looked impressive in doing so as they beat up on QB Colt Brennen and the Warriors. They might be ranked as high as #2 in the Pre Season polls…LSU will lose Mr. Dorsey to the draft but have ample amount of talent returning coupled with Ryan Perrilloux getting the nod and running the Offense for the next three years. Should be exciting times in Baton Rouge……Gator fans have Superman Tim Tebow returning but they need answers fast for a very suspect Defense that looked terriable down the stretch. OSU, WVU, Clemson, KU, Mizzu, Illinois and Oklahoma all return quality players and will not loose a ton of talent to graduation or the NFL..

Cracking the Code: How Teams Navigate the Transfer Portal Maze in College Football

Venturing into the transfer portal in college football is more art than science. While there are analytical approaches to scouting, the process remains a nuanced gamble for schools, especially given the vast pool of thousands of players each cycle. The spotlight often gravitates towards top transfers like Keon Coleman and Sam Hartman, but hidden gems emerge from less glamorous backgrounds. These unsung heroes, players who initially slipped under the radar upon entering the portal, often evolve into impact starters or all-conference-level players at their new homes. The quest for these less-obvious contributors raises questions: How do teams identify players from FCS backgrounds who can thrive in the Big Ten? Can a former star recruit, plagued by injuries, rediscover success at a new destination? To uncover the strategies behind finding these under-the-radar stars, 247Sports spoke with coaches and personnel experts. Notably, the majority of players discussed had transfer ratings belo...

Major Issues in Hog Heaven....

Coach Nutt and the Arkansas Football program have had their fair share of "off-season" distractions. After leading the program to a 10 win season and the SEC West title, Nutt and the entire AD dept., cannot get a break. Leaving is QB Mitch Mustain who went 8-0 as a starter for the Razorbacks last season, for the sunny skies of USC . What is left is a program in tumoil . But why? These days, Freedom-of- Infomania is all the rage in Fayetteville . The university has received so many FOI requests in recent months, White says, it has had to hire an additional attorney. Fans and reporters are not the only ones requesting information. Mustain also submitted an FOI request, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. The quarterback asked for phone records for Houston Nutt ; Danny Nutt , the running backs coach and head coach's brother; and the soon to be retired AD Broyles . According to the Democrat-Gazette, Nutt exchanged more than 1,000 text messages with the cellphone...
