Neither Mack Brown nor Charlie Weis is coaching in 2015. Mack Brown is paid to gave his insights on the game for ESPN, Charlie Weis is paid to…well, to not work. And yet, here are both one week into the 2015 season, talking about their coaching days. In their defense, neither commandeered media attention for […]
It’s probably for the best that the Heisman Trust doesn’t award its coveted trophy after Week 1. If social media taught me nothing else, it’s that about 15 players could win the Heisman in early September. Bearing that in mind, the CFB Huddle Heisman Top 10 projection through one week will probably be the most […]
Allow me to welcome you to the first college football Saturday with a confession: I kinda love summer and I’ll miss it now that autumn’s creeping in. In the many months between the end of college basketball season — I’m as much a hoops junkie as I am football — I get accustomed to spending […]
So much for my bright idea of the winner of November’s Coastal Carolina-Liberty game earning a spot in the Sun Belt. While that remains a biggie for FCS purposes, likely serving as the de facto Big South Conference championship game, Coastal Carolina is bound for the Sun Belt regardless. Coastal Carolina will join Sun Belt […]
Notre Dame’s defense is down another player. Any hope coordinator Brian VanGorder had for getting back talented defensive end/outside linebacker Ishaq Williams was dashed Thursday. Ishaq Williams — who was dismissed last offseason in an academic dishonesty case — was denied his waiver to the NCAA petitioning for eligibility in 2015. The announcement of Ishaq […]
Injuries are an unfortunate yet inevitable part of any college football season, but that doesn’t mean they don’t suck. Horribly. When great players primed for big seasons get hurt early into the campaign, it really sucks. Such is the case for Nebraska wide receiver De’Mornay Pierson-El and LSU safety Jalen Mills. Nebraska head coach Mike […]
The College Football Playoff introduced a new competition-within-the-competition last season, with the best of the Group of 5 jockeying for the automatic berth into one of the New Year’s bowl games. The inaugural Group of 5 race went right down to the wire, and the 2015 installment promises more potential for fireworks. Click the page […]
Six months. That’s the duration between former Eastern Washington quarterback Vernon Adams announcing his intention to transfer to Oregon, and his clearing the final hurdle to actually do so. After an arduous process that precluded him from using Eastern Washington facilities in the spring, or working out with Oregon players in the summer, Vernon Adams […]
Alabama running back Bo Scarbrough may be “ahead of schedule” with his injured knee, but the Crimson Tide won’t have the 5-star running back available until the fifth game of the season, AL.com’s Matt Zenitz reports. Per Zenitz, Nick Saban said following Alabama’s Thursday practice that Bo Scarbrough’s four-game suspension is NCAA-mandated, thus he must […]
An intrepid Utah Utes fan set up a GoFundMe page to raise $15,300 to have “UTAH” signage installed on Rice-Eccels Stadium’s north fieldhouse. In just 18 hours, the Utah GoFundMe project has raised almost $7,000 (as of this writing). It’s not so much the page itself that piqued my interest, however, as it is “who” […]
Running back Greg Bryant is nixed for Notre Dame’s 2015 season, Irish Illustrated first reported Tuesday. Bryant’s academic ineligibility is the latest in a string of high-profile classroom issues for the Fighting Irish, further demonstrating the tenuous relationship that exists between big-time football and top-level academics. Notre Dame is regarded as one of the premier […]
Neither Colorado nor Missouri plays Notre Dame, but each program’s head coach has an opinion on the Fighting Irish. Speaking with ESPN Wednesday, Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre advocated uniformity in conference scheduling. That’s been a lingering issue in the College Football Playoff era, and with good reason. Three of the Power Five leagues — […]
Your humble CFBHuddle.com publisher submitted his ballot for the Preseason All-America Team at Today’s U, and as one might expect, defending national championship Ohio State sets the pace. I have three Buckeyes nominated: defensive end Joey Bosa, late-season breakout star and College Football Playoff hero Ezekiel Elliott and offensive lineman Pat Elfein. Defensive tackle Adolphus […]
A Pac-12 Conference championship, a single-season program record for wins and the Heisman Trophy; the only thing that eluded the Oregon Ducks in their dream, 2014 season was a national championship. Marcus Mariota may have changed his mailing address from Eugene to Nashville, but the 2015 Oregon Ducks will flourish without him. The question facing […]
Second-year Texas Longhorns head coach Charlie Strong faces a bit of a quandary. He has to rebuild in order to get Texas back to the level to which it’s accustomed, competing for Big 12 and national championships. At the same time, Texas doesn’t have a fan base or boosters with the patience to wait for […]
