What We Learned: Hawkins back on the hot seat

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:29:51 +0000

Sporting News' Dave Curtis analyzes what Friday's buzz means to college football. Where the Buffalo roam The buzz about Dan Hawkins getting dismissed (and bought out) at Colorado grew hot not because the Buffs lost by three on the road to a ranked team Thursday night. The bad vibes are back because of how things went down. Colorado's final four offensive possessions ended with a missed 49-yard field goal, a turnover on downs (incomplete pass on fourth-and-2 at the Oklahoma State 28), a fumble near midfield and a punt with 2:45 remaining. The Buffs either led by four or trailed by three points on each occasion yet ended with another loss, sending Hawkins' record at CU to 16-32 (and 2-20 on the road). Missed opportunities such as Thursday's have plagued the Hawkins era, and the sum of them will inspire deep-pocketed boosters to fund his removal and replacement. Hawkins inherited an out-of-order program when he arrived from Boise State—some folks at CU didn't realize how much effort would ...

Boise State Not Overlooking Utah State: Nevada Wolfpack Is Next

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:11:25 +0000

Many of the college elite football teams are playing soft games this week. Florida is playing their rendition of the Boise State-Cal Davis game. The Gators are playing Florida International or something close to that. The end result should be a sweet Florida victory and it gives them a week to nurse their wounds and get as healthy as they can for Florida State, who is now playing with their backup quarterback. However, all is not cushy for Florida, as their last game is the SEC championship game with Alabama. Like Florida, Boise State has a potentially easy game coming this week with Utah State. However, Utah State is very well coached and have the players to capitalize on another’s mistakes should Boise State not bring their A-game. Yet, for all intents and purposes, the Broncos will not overlook coach Anderson's Utah State team, which they are set to play Friday. The Broncos' final game of this season against New Mexico State should not promote any real concern either. The concern for the ...

How To Ruin a Legacy It Took 35 Years To Build

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:31:04 +0000

When Bobby Bowden was hired to be the head football coach at Florida State, I was about 12 years old. In my short lifetime, I didn't recall Florida State doing anything. I don't think they ever beat anybody to speak of. I don't recall them ever playing in a bowl game. If they were ever on TV, it was rare. They didn't seem to have any fans. Nobody I knew was a fan of the Seminoles. The year before he was hired, I don't think they even won a game. Not only FSU, but Miami and Florida were pretty insignificant also. None of them ever competed for championships or played on TV. None ever appeared in Bowl games. Not any big Bowls anyway. Florida had that whole,"never won the SEC" thing going. Miami was thinking of dropping football altogether. In school, all my friends and I would have out favorite teams, if you rooted for a Florida team, you also had to have a "Real" team to root for. You know, one you might see on TV, play on New Year's Day, compete for the National Title, etc. Some of my friends ...

Who Needs Offense?: For the Florida Gators, Defense Is All That Matters

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:04:06 +0000

The Florida Gators have now won 20 games in a row. Let me repeat: 20 games in a row. The Gators' last loss was Sept. 27, 2008. That is ridiculous. Why this team catches so much heat is unreal. Yes, I understand their offense is not what it once was. Their red-zone touchdown percentage is horrible. But they win games. Winning a game ugly is still winning. Would Gator fans rather have the offense put up 40 points and lose? I don't think so. Everyone is waiting for this offense to start clicking. Guess what? It's not gonna happen. Would you rather have your team win five games in a row by 30 points, or would you rather have your team win 20 in a row by a mere field goal each game? Experts and fans alike need to come to terms with the fact that this offense is not great. The Gator offense is not explosive. The Gator offense is not going to do anything spectacular. The Gator offense is not anything special. So what? Get over it. The Gator defense is better now than it was in 2006. This ...

Why This Florida Fan Will Be Glad When the Gators' 2009 Season Is Over

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:14:16 +0000

I know what you will say: What in the hell are you talking about? But I will be glad when this season is over. It's not been a lot of fun. Maybe if it were your school you'd be enjoying a 10-0 record with a No. 1 BCS ranking. But that's probably because you aren't a Gator fan. 2008 was fun. Even when the Gators lost to Ole Miss, the game was entertaining. There were a lot of big plays in that game. It just had a bad ending. But the presser afterward made up for it. The rest of the regular season, every game was a cakewalk. People ask me, "Isn't a close game more fun to watch?" My answer to that is, "Yeah, if it's not my team playing." I prefer a blowout when it's my team every time. Last year there were many. Not this year. This year the defense has been outstanding. The offense? Not so much. The plays they made a year ago now seem to turn into passes just off the fingertips or runs that ALMOST get broken for big gains. It's like we are a millisecond off here or a fraction of an inch there, ...

I Have A Dream TCU Beats Florida. I Only Hope Its in The BCS Title Game

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:43:44 +0000

Last year the Bowl Championship Series tried their best to put down the perceived underdog. Utah was given the task of playing Alabama, a team one win away from the BCS title game, practically on the road in New Orleans. So what did Utah do? They embarrassed the Crimson Tide. They beat them from start to finish. That doesn't make the BCS happy. The BCS has had two strategies to their automatic qualifying teams, strategy one: put them in a bowl that a victory won't make an impact. In the 2004-2005 season Utah, led by Alex Smith and coach Urban Meyer, ranked No. 6, played the Big East Champion Pittsburgh Panthers. Utah turned the game into a laugher, but to most fans victory was expected. What did Utah get for their win? They ended the season ranked No. 4. Why wasn't Utah given the opportunity to play another undefeated team, Auburn? The answer is simple, why allow the team to earn any respect? If Utah were to win against Auburn what would that do to the system? In the 2006-2007 season, ...

Are All the Stars Aligning for Alabama As a Team of Destiny in 2009?

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:48:00 +0000

In what is unveiling to be a season of firsts and lasts, this Tide team appears to be peaking at the right time to finish the season. Yesterday marked the first time in Nick Saban's career that he has posted back to back 10-0 starts, and the first time Alabama has done it since 1974 and 1974. It also marks the 29th game in a row that the Tide has not allowed a rusher a 100 yard game, and last night Alabama held Miss. State to about half it's season average in rushing. This is the year Alabama will have to win the SEC Championship to preserve it's record of winning at least one in every decade since a champion has been named. This is certainly proving to be an important year for the history books. Saturday night brought out yet another team "Blackout" against Alabama, and another Alabama blowout result. Gimmicks haven't worked against Alabama since the arrival of Nick Saban, just hard work and except for the kickoff return team, Mississippi State had little of that to show. "We had several ...

COLUMBIA , S.C. -- The Florida Gators know that, at this point in their undefeated season, margin of victory doesn't matter. They're the No. 1 team in the country, and each win -- regardless of any perceived style points -- takes them one step closer to a trip to the national championship game. "The letter 'W' doesn't get any bigger if you win by more points or anything like that," Gators quarterback Tim Tebow said after his team secured a 24-14 victory with a dominating fourth-quarter effort on the road against South Carolina. The Gators finished their SEC season with a perfect 8-0, and five of those eight wins were by 10 points or fewer. "Well, we have some good players," Florida coach Urban Meyer said.
