College FootballCollege Football, This week has another list of games very well. The Big 10 is the place to be with Nebraska visit Sparty Wisconisn and traveling to La Herradura. A great battle between the ACC and Clemson at Florida State capture a large number of viewers in the East. The Crimson Tide rolls into the swamp. And the Longhorns head to Ames to seek revenge for last year.

Betting throughout the week has moved most of the spreads of the opening numbers. Go to Maddux Sports college football betting site lines to see the opening numbers, as well as major betting houses are now a list of the games. Here is a brief sample of some of the biggest games.

Alabama (-4) in Florida – Alabama led the way as one of the 5-point favorite against Florida, but has been bet down to 4. It is clear that Alabama’s defense is a force to be reckoned with. But playing in the swamp is an easy task. Charlie Weis is one of the most important offensive minds in the country. If anyone can solve the riddle of the defense of Alabama, is Weis.

Texas A & M (-2 ½) at Arkansas – The Aggies, fresh off his crushing collapse in the home of Oklahoma State, opened as a 3 ½ point favorite against Arkansas. The game will be played at Cowboys Stadium. Money early in pigs has already thrown in the line up to 2 ½. Both teams are coming off losses to top 10 teams, but only one of them blew a 17-point halftime. It will be interesting to see if Mike Sherman can rally the troops, or if that loss will be a disaster for the Aggies.

Virginia Tech (-7 ½) vs. Clemson – Virginia Tech opened at -7 ½ against Clemson, although the books are published 7. The Tigers have been one of the big surprises of the country, surpassing both Auburn and Florida State in the rear of weeks ago. Clemson always seems to have talent, but rarely meets throughout the season. This year could be different. The Hokies are a perennial top 10 team. They have other hardware that really should try to the Tigers in their third straight game against a ranked opponent.

Wisconsin (-10) vs Nebraska – The best game of the day is a battle between Wisconsin and Nebraska 10. Badgers open 8-point favorites, but that was pushed up to 10 points earlier in the week and stabilized. As Ohio State learned last year, the Camp Randall Stadium is a tough place to play. Against the Huskers ‘7 needed to assemble a show inspired by Nebraska, if you hope to achieve victory.

Texas (-9) at Iowa State – The most exciting game of the Big 12 has to be of Texas at Iowa State. The Longhorns opened at -9, and after early betting has moved to 10 or 10 and a half, some of repurchase in the ISU has brought the line up anywhere between 8 ½ and 10. This is a great game for both programs, although for different reasons. Texas wants to make a “We’re back” statement, while the ISU is looking to make a “We are here” statement. Cyclones are the rotations have to clean and sanctions, otherwise, they’ll have off.

Ohio State (-3) against Michigan State – The Buckeyes and Spartans hook for the second most important game of the Big 10. Ohio State opened as 2 ½ point favorite, but the line is -3 in almost everywhere. Both teams had impressive wins last Saturday after being driven around the last week. Last season, Michigan State was able to avoid the Buckeyes during the time of the loss of a regular. No such luck this year.

Marina (-2 ½) vs. Air Force – The triple option is in full force when these two teams meet Saturday. Marina opened at -2 ½, but has been moved to 3 ½ points. Looking at the military academies battle is both a privilege and anything else. Both teams are above average, but it is refreshing to see the effort made by the youth who play soccer.

Bcs Championship Game Score

January 11, 2011 by · Comments Off on Bcs Championship Game Score 

Bcs Championship Game Score, (AP) – All this talk about offense unstoppable set to be released by the No. 1 and No. 2 Auburn Oregon in the BCS title game is enough to turn the head of a defensive coordinator.

After commissioning who knows how many questions Wednesday on what should be a crazy night at the University of Phoenix Stadium in nearby Glendale, Oregon Nick Aliotti summarized as follows:

“This is what I think. I think there will be a game on Jan. 10. Cam Newton will play Auburn in a very high-powered offense. LaMichael I think James and Darron Thomas et al. Will play for Oregon in a breach of great power.

“There will be two defenses that have to get on the field at some point in time, and he who does the best job to stop infringement of the other team will probably win.

“How that will happen,” Aliotti stopped about 4 seconds, “I do not know.”

It is the old conventional wisdom about defense winning championships does not seem to apply to Auburn and Oregon.

For the first time in the history of 13 years of the Bowl Championship Series, neither team playing for the national title will finish the season ranked among the top 10 defenses in the country. In nine of the last 12 BCS championship games, both teams finished the season ranked in the top-20 nationally for total defense.

The Ducks ranked 25th in the nation and third in the Pac-10 in total defense, allowing 331.5 yards per game. Very good, but coach Chip Kelly rapid spread offense, averaging 537 yards per game (second best in the country), which attracts the most attention.

“I think Oregon is a lot of pressure on the opposing team off just because they have an explosive offense, so they will put up points,” said Newton. “You go from a team first quarter trying to be balanced in the second quarter and third quarter just trying to keep their offense. ”

Auburn’s defense is ranked 55th nationally – roughly the middle of the pack – but the unity of offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn has more than compensated for the problems on the other side of the ball.

“Whenever the offense is committed on the ground, we expect to score,” Auburn quarterback Kodi turned-receiver Burns said. “Coach Malzahn teaches us.”

Auburn averages 497 yards per game, leading the way with Newton on the ground and in the air. The Heisman Trophy winner was running back leading the Southeastern Conference with 1,409 yards and has thrown for 28 touchdowns and 2,589 yards.

“It’s a great athlete, performing well under pressure and most importantly, it is a double threat, he can throw the ball and he can run,” Oregon defensive lineman Brandon Bair said.

Malzahn, who in just six seasons, went from high school coach in Arkansas in one of the best head coaching prospects in college football, does not call spread offense Auburn.

“We’re a two-back, run, play-action team to focus on going fast and throw the ball vertically down the field, he said. “We’re going from the shotgun that makes people probably think it’s a difference.”

And, yes, the Tigers also accelerate the pace. They did not quite go as fast as Oregon, but they did not dither between games, either.

“We think the pace is a great advantage to the university,” he said. “We’re trying to mentally and physically wear down a defense.”

Aliotti, in his third stint and 20th season as an assistant with the Ducks, has had to adapt what he sees as a successful game for his defense because of how Oregon is playing offense.

“Sometimes it’s hard to feel really good about the way you play defensively when you play a lot of plays,” he said. “And there are two ways of seeing things. If you stop in three tries, you will not play a lot of plays. But we’re playing very fast attack that puts us on the ground a little. ”

In many ways, Auburn, Oregon is a confrontation that characterized an era where offenses have evolved much faster in college football defenses. With various incarnations of the spread and a plethora of quarterback’s double threat – Vince Young, Pat White to Tim Tebow and now in Newton and Thomas – he has never been more difficult to play defense.

“I think the teams do a good job of making small bits and pieces of many different packages,” said Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, who was defensive coordinator at the University of Miami and a defensive assistant in the NFL before taking the Scarlet Knights.

“At the time when football was first major option, the option quarterback has been a slight guy, maybe 185, 190 pounds. Now, you talk about these monsters than 235 pounds who can run and run. You look at the quarter and what they do with these shifts; it is a matter quite differently. ”

And not give teams more defenses to face Auburn and Oregon.

Washington Huskies Football

September 5, 2010 by · Comments Off on Washington Huskies Football 

Washington Huskies Football, Washington kicker Erik Folk field goal from 53 yards as time expired in the second quarter and the Huskies have disappeared in the dressing room with a 17-13 advantage at halftime of BYU in Provo.

The kick punctuated an 11-player game of Washington quarterback Jake Locker, an early season favorite for the Heisman Trophy.

BYU took control briefly in the second half, but with 8:43 remaining in the half, Washington quarterback Jake Locker ran 9 yards for a touchdown to regain the initiative.

the only touchdown of the Brigham Young University came with 12:08 left in the second quarter, when Riley Nelson is Joshua Quezada pass for a 9-yard touchdown.

Nelson, then shaved his way through a two-point conversion that gave BYU a 13-7 lead. At 13 the most original.

After Washington took a 7-0 lead in their first album, the Cougars scored first on a safety after a wave of wind in the Huskies punter, then with 31 seconds remaining in the first quarter Mitch Payne made a target 22-yard field to put the score 7-5.

The field goal came after Jake Heaps, who also split time with Nelson at quarterback today in view of their place in the hands of tight end Richard Wilson rebound.

Washington, leading 7-0 with 4:30 remaining in the first quarter, tried to allay their own 39 yard line. Long snapper Brandon Lee, however, the ball went well over the head of punter Will Mahan. Two BYU players, Mahan took the ball into the end zone and when he saw wisely threw in the back of the end zone to give BYU security.

Montario Hardesty

September 3, 2010 by · Comments Off on Montario Hardesty 

Montario Hardesty, However, with all the football games that were on Thursday night, I think anyone can be a little confused as to what day it is. The Browns wrapped up the preseason with a 13-10 victory over the Chicago Bears and the Ohio State Buckeyes beat the Marshall Thundering Herd is 45-7 to start the search for a BCS National Championship. If you ask me last night felt more like a Saturday or Sunday instead of Thursday. Now, with that of the way, what I can share my ideas on the two last nights game.

From Ohio State started in the first place, I’ll start with my opinion on the Buckeyes. He had a concern kickoff went down in “The Shoe,” which the Buckeyes come to play hard and especially Marshall who plays next to Ohio State on the schedule, the Hurricanes of Miami. Well, I’m delighted that the scarlet and gray blurs the concerns of my mind very quickly. The Buckeyes forced a Marshall fumble on the kickoff and turned it into seven points, and scored another touchdown in the second is the possession and never looked back in the 45-7 defeat.

The only thing that worried me was the exercise Buckeyes special teams have allowed a field goal attempt blocked and returned for touchdown, for Marshall the only points of the game. Other than that, it was clear to me that Jim Tressel his boys had focused on this game and not face the Hurricanes. Terrelle Pryor seemed that everyone Heisman Trophy candidate in the national media predicted to be in recent weeks. Pryor was 17 of 25 for 247 yards and three touchdowns and no turnovers. Pryor was very impressive to get each of their receptors involved in the game, completed passes to eight different receivers. I know it’s only the beginning of the season, but in my mind Terrelle Pryor leads the race for the Heisman Trophy.

A couple of the team captains Buckeyes were impressive too. Brandon Saine ran for 103 yards on only nine carries and scored two touchdowns, and the Dane Sanzenbacher caught three passes for 113 yards including a 65-yard bomb from Pryor. On defense, the silver bullets Storm shutout of the herd and even add their own points on the scoreboard with the return of Brian Rolle’s interception 30 yards for a touchdown. Everything is equal to a solid victory season opener. Now “Buckeye Nation” is officially under the watch of “Hurricane” with the University of Miami who come to “The Shoe” next week.

Now about the Browns. With this being the preseason game of the year, the owners would see little or no action, so this was a game for players who are on the bubble to make the 53-man roster, or possibly could be an audition for another team will come later. There were two positions held in my eye throughout the game, the quarterback and running back.

Obviously, the tongue lashing Colt McCoy Eric Mangini gave the Detroit end of the game go in one ear and out the other. McCoy was impressive even against reserves in the defense of the Bears. With the exception of the first fumble, McCoy played his way into the list. Colt was a perfect 13 of 13 for 131 yards. As for Brett Ratliff, I think his days, as a Cleveland Brown will end on Saturday.

The battle in the backfield will be very interesting to say the least. It was great to see Montaria Hardesty get some game action and find the end zone in the process, however, also saw a recurring theme with the rookie from Tennessee, another injury. Hardesty injured his left knee a few minutes after scoring his first career touchdown. Montaria had just returned to practice after injuring his right knee during training camp rookies. With injuries Hardesty, meant more fit, both for James Davis and Chris Jennings that were clearly on the bubble comes into play. With Jerome Harrison, Lawrence Vickers Peyton Hillis and all locks to be on the team, it is clear that Eric Mangini was just going to have room for one more row on the active roster. Hardesty is assumed that considering the price paid for the Browns to advance the project to select Montaria, but now who knows. I credit James Davis, was clear to me that Davis knew he had to have a good game and no matter what he did. If Hardesty is going to miss much time, James Davis could only have made the list.

Defensively, I thought the Browns played well. I think there may be a couple of surprises on that side of the ball on who stays and who is not, after cuts are announced. And finally, cannot forget Phil Dawson. He won the game on the final play of the game with a field goal from 36 yards as time expired, as the Green Bay game. Dawson also tried a field goal from 58 yards to end the first half. While the intent was
