Arkansas shouldn’t accept mediocrity on the gridiron

Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images I grew up in a time where Arkansas Football was in the transitional stage of being competitive each season in football. Then head coach Houston Nutt gave fans optimism and hope while establishing the Razorbacks as players in the SEC. The conference was nowhere near as competitive in the 1990s and early 2000s as it is today. But, it sure did get stronger by the end of Nutt’s tenure. Plus, he won an outright SEC Western division title in 2006 with a 7-1 r...

Is KJ Jefferson the best QB in the SEC?

Photo by Todd Kirkland/Getty Images Coming off two good years starting in the SEC, KJ Jefferson enters his 5th collegiate season ready to take the nation by storm. After Young, Hooker, Levis and Bennett all left for the NFL, the hottest question now is who takes the crown as the best QB in the SEC? Jefferson had an elite year last year, but was plagued with injuries throughout. He was not 100% healthy during most of the season according to reports, and that changed the trajectory for Ar...

Photo by Logan Whitton/Getty Images Pitt coach’s ranking does not change from 2022 list. Each year the folks at CBS Sports release a ranking of all the P5 football coaches.

Here’s what they had to say: “ Pat Narduzzi (29 overall): Narduzzi lost a Heisman finalist at quarterback, had to cycle through signal-callers due to various injury issues in 2022 and still managed to win eight regular-s...

One simple switch to save Florida football

There’s only one thing to blame for the Gators’ gridiron woes. And a new kind of Pepsi Challenge could fix them. Late in my seventh grade year, my school welcomed a new student from the state of Indiana. I had just attended the Final Four in Indianapolis, where the Florida Gators had triumphed over the North Carolina Tar Heels and succumbed to the dirty trickery of Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans in the NCAA Tournament final. Much like George Costanza and George Peppard having the sam...

2023 Orange and Blue Game open thread: A glimpse of the Gators

Matt Pendleton / USA TODAY NETWORK Our first look at the 2023 Gators comes on a Thursday night. I really don’t need to do a full-blown preview for this one, do I? I already wrote out a bunch of predictions for Florida’s spring game earlier this afternoon, and while I’m as excited as you are — give or take — to endure enjoy an SEC Network+ broadcast over on ESPN+ , I think we all know the stakes of this Thursday night. And, additionally: Florida’s gymnastics team living through an all-ti...

Seven predictions for Florida’s 2023 Orange and Blue Debut

Doug Engle / USA TODAY NETWORK This should be fun — little more, nothing less. With another spring practice cycle successfully put behind us without mention — I’m sure I missed some of the best action that’s ever happened during the series of practices that the players care even less about than the fall camp that they cannot wait to have end because of the sweltering Gainesville heat and humidity — it is, of course, time for a spring game exhibition that will serve as much of the basis fo...

Anthony Richardson leads the way — again — at Florida’s Pro Day

They pilled into the Heavener Football Training Center and the Condron Family Indoor Practice Facility to get an up close look at 11 former Gators football players — and one track star looking to get back on the gridiron. Draft season is a long and winding process for prospects hoping to impress scouts, coac...

A Southern heirloom: Football and the Gators, from my grandfather to me

The best things in life are passed down. Football is the greatest sport. It’s the ultimate team game, and truly takes everyone working in unison to achieve success. And in my opinion, the greatest version of football is played at the college level. The quality of play in the NFL is obviously superior and the pro game is built to achieve a level of parity that is lacking in college football. However, the college game combines a high-level of play with a lot more variation of scheme than is se...

How the Scouting Combine set up Florida Gators for the 2023 NFL Draft

Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images Anthony Richardson stole the show. But the Florida contingent in general excelled at the NFL Scouting Combine. I remember buying a suit from Express in the Oaks Mall. It was nice enough, a traditional black two-piece that could pair with a classic white collar and colorful tie. It didn’t break the bank for a soon-to-be college grad who still delivered pizzas to pay the bills, but I couldn’t afford to have it tailored. Putting it on ahead of attending a j...

All-time great Cal Football RB Coach Ron Gould is headed to San Diego State

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports Will we ever see Ron Gould return home? Better (one week) late than never, right? When the unthinkable happened—and the despicable Stanfurd Cardinal sentenced once–proud Golden Bear Troy Taylor to its role as Alistair H. Smarmsnobbery Director of Football-Related Operations and Activities—I immediately feared the prospect of a union between Taylor and then–running backs coach Ron Gould. Gould is one of the greats in the history of California Golden Bears Foo...

California misses back-to-back Super Bowls for the first time in over 50 years

Joe Kapp was among three Bears to first represent California in the Super Bowl | Tony Tomsic-USA TODAY Sports A less-than-ideal accomplishment for the Bears in the Pros coincides with our struggles at Memorial Stadium. Despite the struggles of the California Golden Bears to be ranked or relevant in college football, we’ve had a puzzlingly rich history of success in the NFL. For instance, for the 21 NFL seasons from 1999–2019, 14 of those Super Bowl s featured a Golden Bear on the winning ...
