Dr. Saturday takes an early look at Utah's 2011 season
We're almost to the point where preseason predictions are going to dominate the next few months. With this being Utah's first year in the Pac-12, I expect more attention to be given to the Utah football program. Fair or not, often the national media tends to gloss over the non-BCS conferences and...
Position Battle: Punt Returner
Maryland's set as set can be at KR - Torrey Smith set an ACC record in kick return yardage - but punt returner is a position very in flux. It was given to the now graduated Danny Oquendo the past few years, not for his playmaking ability, but for his sure hands. That was proved by his measly 104...
Position Battle: Kicker
As there always is after a kicker leaves, there'll be a fierce position battle for the spot. Maryland hasn't had an elite kicker since Nick Novak - Dan Ennis was servicable, as was Obi Egekeze, but neither could be described as "great." It may be a bit much to ask for that this year, but at least...
Position Battle: DE
This is the first time in a long time Maryland has had a normal, 4-3 style DE, something I think Mack Frost would've been perfect for if he hadn't, y'know, graduated. Instead, there's a position battle of sorts, involving some unproven freshmen and a junior who was unimpressive in his one shot. The...
Position Battles: LG & RT
Honestly, there's only so much you can say about offensive line battles. As important as they are, hey're really not all that exciting. To keep from having two OL battles on consecutive days, we're combining them into one post. Left guard above the jump, RT after it. Oh, and sorry about no picture,...
Position Battle: Backup QB
Generally, backup positions aren't exactly breeding grounds for position battles. But when it's quarterback (the most important backup spot on the team), when the starter is a senior (meaning the winner has the upper hand for the position battle next year), and when none of the contenders have any...
My 2008 College Football Preview
All of the networks have it. Everyone has to put together a one-hour special, previewing the all-important upcoming college football season. So, why shouldn't I drop some of my preseason predictiosn on all of you guys? I know, that was lame. What can I say, Dugan is rubbing off on me. In any case,...
Week 1 Opponent Preview: Delaware
Maryland begins the season against IAA (excuse me, FCS) powerhouse Delaware. They are coached by KC Keeler, who’s been at the helm of the Blue Hens for the past six years, with a 52-26 record. The Hens made it to the FCS championship game last year and faced off against Appalachian State, who...
Michigan blog previews Utah
Go check out Varsity Blue for its preview of the Utes. It looks pretty solid and the guy has a lot of good things to say about the Utes. I especially like the end: The Utes are regarded as one of the strongest non-BCS teams in 2008, who may be able to run the table if they can get by Michigan....
Utah Day on Phil Steele's website
Today is Utah Day on Phil Steele's website, so go have a look and vote for how many losses you think Utah will have this season. It'll be good to compare with BYU, whose poll was yesterday (most voters said they would finish with 4-losses). I said Utah would go unbeaten, but obviously I'm not...
