You're on to something there Don with the situations being reversed. Jared Allen is probably the best player on his team's defense, ditto for Aaron Kampman, Kyle Van Den Bosch, Brian Urlacher. Take a college team like Kansas St.: best offensive player: Jordy Nelson, defense: Ian Campbell. What...

He's been utterly demolishing defenses since AF moved him from WR back to RB and started giving him primary carries 6 games into the season. He's averaging 187 yards rushing per game during that span. If he'd been getting the same carries per game from the beginning, he'd easily be in the top 3...

I was just watching the Cal-USC game and saw the introductions and noticed a white CB starting for Cal and went "WTF??!!, how did I miss this?" Not only is Chris Conte the starter opposite Syd'Quan Thompson, he's a TRUE Freshman! Here's his Rivals bio.

So I missed a pretty big one. Apparently Cal is starting a true Freshman white CB. His name is Chris Conte.

ASU RS Soph WR Chris McGaha had his best day ever as a Sun Devil, snagging 9 REC for 123 yards. Unfortunately, he still hasn't found the endzone this year.

UCLA TB's Craig Sheppard and Chane Moline are both sophomores as well. Good stuff.

Roger Huerta also trains in Minnesota I believe.

Shipley and Lyons are only juniors. UK and UT each have two senior starting WR's that will be moving on after this year. Lyons in particular should see a much larger role next year. Blythe allegedly got a 3rd round grade last year from the NFL draft advisory board. I think even with his mediocre...

Hall is closing in on 300 yards on the ground today against Army. Yikes, this guy is really on a tear!

I was kidding of course.

I didn't realize until a few days ago that WR Chris McGaha was actually fairly highly rated by Rivals.com. He ran anchor on the 4x100 relay team for his high school. His stats don't tell the whole story this year. We sub a lot of WR's in and out so Rudy spreads the ball around. Rudy is not...

ASU's newspaper reported that Rudy Carpenter was throwing all over the field in practice last night. He should be good to go as the swelling continues to go down.

Actually I have no problems with them passing or going for it on 4th when they're way up. I wouldn't leave Brady in that long though. There's no point in bringing in the backup QB for experience if he's just gonna hand the ball off on dives for the rest of the game. He SHOULD air it out. I think...

Sorry SteveB, you weren't really getting any faster, you just had a motor that never quit.

Do white HS football players get INVITED to those combines at the same rate as blacks? I'd be curious to know. Because every trend I've seen shows that whites are consistently weeded out at every level up to pro, even when they are on equal footing athletically with their black peers. Football...

I saw him rip off a nice 20-ish yard run against ASU when I was at the game. He's certainly fast, especially considering how big he is. I haven't seen what his wheels look like over a longer distance and it's always tricky to gauge how fast those taller guys are moving. Matt Jones didn't really...

I totally agree that the site could use a prominent link with some solid, "starter articles" that lay out some compelling arguments. Most of them are buried in the archives of the various forums here. I think an orderly consolidation would be helpful and beneficial. The Orlando Sentinel 2-part...

Sorry dude but when a team is running the ball, that means they aren't throwing as many passes. Hence, less receptions, less rec yards, TD's, etc. Harrell has thrown 478 passes this year. That's 100 more than ANY other QB in Div 1A (probably more than any team at ANY level, professional or...

Another guy I just noticed while watching the A&M - Kansas game: WR Roger Holland , he's a true freshman who has been fielding some punts and also showed some speed on a WR reverse play that got called back for holding.

I've got to watch AF once or twice this year. Hall is very Welker-like in his short area shiftiness.

Ugh. I'm no longer very excited about seeing this movie. Thanks for the heads up.

I think they're still in their probationary transition period or whatever. It took me a quite a while to be able to find their team statistics on NCAA's website.

I forgot Lippincott was a JR and just assumed Roehl was one as well. I agree with Jimmy C about Hester, et al. With someone like Schmitt though, I think you have to take account of his size, freakish strength and versatility. I think a smart coach would use him some as a power back, some as a...

I was thinking of doing something like this a little closer to draft time. Seeing how guys do at the Combine and the Senior Bowl can change some things. But if I were a GM, I'd rank the guys in this order: Owen Schmitt 1st-2nd round as an H-Back Peyton Hillis 2nd round TB/FB Danny Woodhead...

It's a solid article. I wish this kind of journalism would reach a more national forum.
