The Jan. 15 edition of the CFB Huddle Podcast welcomes SoonerScoop.com co-publisher and editor Josh McCuistion to talk Oklahoma football recruiting. Host Josh Webb and Josh McCuistion get into the particulars of Oklahoma football recruiting for 2016, as well as the national recruiting scene as the dead period ends. The push to National Signing Day […]
Throughout the 2015 season, starting in August, CFB Huddle gauged the temperature of the Heisman race every week leading up to the award’s selection. The 2016 Heisman Top 10 forecast kicks off early, as there’s no shortage of media outlets and voters offering up projections Two things to bear in mind for those new to […]
Baker Mayfield and Buddy Hield are two of the biggest stars in their respective sports, and both are Oklahoma Sooners. Their comparable success but very different game-day demeanor makes this dynamic duo the perfect pair for a (pardon the pun) buddy-cop flick. FADE IN: INT. BAR JUST OFF THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA CAMPUS BUDDY HIELD, […]
Big Game Bob Stoops is back, and Oklahoma is in its first College Football Playoff. Joining host Josh Webb to break down the Sooners’ Big 12 championship season, as well as their outlook for a national semifinal showdown with undefeated Clemson, Friend of CFB Huddle Allen Kenney (@blatanthomerism) stops by. Check out the CFB Huddle […]
Last week, I turned 33. That’s pertinent information because today, Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley won the Frank Broyles Award, given to the nation’s top college football assistant. Lincoln Riley is 32. Jeez, I’m a slacker. Another award for the #Sooners today as Lincoln Riley wins the Broyles Award!! #OUDNA #BoomerSooner pic.twitter.com/XAZJbMtRfF — Oklahoma Football […]
Heading into Championship Week, the Heisman Trophy pack has a clear top five — and one pace-setter ahead of them all. Alabama running back Derrick Henry’s spectacle against rival Auburn put the junior in pole position with just one week to go. Henry’s one-man show Saturday was reminiscent of the ubiquitous martial-arts movie scenes, wherein […]
So, this is it: the one before The One. Tuesday’s is the last time the College Football Playoff committee plays pretend with the rankings before issuing the actual final four and bowl pairings. Heading into Championship Week, at least one of the four spots is spoken for. The ACC, Big Ten and SEC Championship Games […]
College football’s is the shortest of all major sports seasons. It was less than three months ago that the first Saturday Six-Pack of 2015 toasted the beginning of a new campaign. Less than three months. Neither the NBA nor MLB have reached the All-Star Break by this juncture in their season. College basketball has yet […]
In this season’s college football record shop, the option offense is a piece of classic vinyl, unearthed from a milk crate of yesteryear’s hits. Put it on the turntable, give it a spin, and a few tracks in you ask yourself, why isn’t more contemporary music like this? The success of option teams this season […]
I’ll cop to being among those who worried about the College Football Playoff damaging the regular season. Two years into the system, I feel rather foolish. Now, I still have reservations about the slippery expansion slope and will gladly cite the FCS Playoffs growth from 16 to 20 to 24 teams in the last six […]
Allow me to level with you, dear CFB Huddle reader: Getting the Heisman forecast to 10 players at this point is a struggle. Early returns from Week 12 suggest an outlook as concrete as it’s been all season. Were the Heisman ceremony tomorrow, I surmise we’d see five invitees: Derrick Henry, Deshaun Watson, Dalvin Cook, […]
Did ya hear? Nick Saban said a bad word! CFB Huddle’s rarely-heard-from guest columnist The SEC Bro broke down Steph Curry winning NBA MVP in the spring, and wrote the following: I guess he did play at Davidson, though, and they’re on Alabama’s schedule the week before the Iron Bowl. Coach Saban says that’ll be […]
Anarchy! Chaos! Welcome to another week of college football, and welcome to another round of projections for the College Football Playoff ranking. Four of last week’s Top 10 lost in Week 11: No. 6 Baylor, No. 7 Stanford, No. 9 LSU and No. 10 Utah. Of the four, only Baylor lost to a ranked opponent. […]
November performances define Heisman Trophy candidacies. Front-runners like Alabama running back Derrick Henry and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson are hitting their stride at just the right time, both to pace their teams’ title aspirations and bolster their case for college football’s most prestigious, individual award. Derrick Henry now has a rush TD in 15 straight […]
It’s rather ridiculous, the importance our society places on sports. I felt helpless as reports of the horrific terrorist attacks carried out Friday in Paris began to surface. I still do. I also couldn’t shake the feeling that spending Saturday watching and writing about college football as if it anything more than a frivolous endeavor […]
