Champs Sports Bowl Preview

Monday, December 27th, 2010

2010 Champs Sports Bowl:  Tuesday December 28, 6:30 PM ET

# 22 West Virginia (9-3, 5-2 Big East) v. N.C. State (8-4, 5-3 ACC)

Mountaineers Storyline – West Virginia has had an interesting season and an even more interesting offseason. This is a team that had high expectations, yet faltered early. Thus, even though the ‘Neers won 9 games and tied for the Big East title, they’re playing in December rather than in January and the BCS. In the past week, the school has hired Dana Holgorsen to replace Bill Stewart - Holgorsen, new to West Virginia coming in from Oklahoma State, will be the offensive coordinator for Stewart before he replaces him in 2012. Stewart didn’t want to be forced out and he didn’t hire Holgorsen. How this relationship works out next season is beyond me, but it should be fun to watch.

Beef O’Brady St. Petersburg Bowl: Look for Louisville to fly over Golden Eagles

Monday, December 20th, 2010

Beef O’Brady’s Bowl – St. Petersburg, Fl – Tuesday Dec 21, 8pm on ESPN
- Louisville (6-6) v. Southern Miss (8-4)

Louisville Cardinals

- Impact Player - RB Bilal Powell –  Powell (right) is the biggest reason as to why first year head coach Charlie Strong was able to take his red birds to a bowl game. The senior rushed for 1330 yards and 10 TDs all while missing a complete game and a good portion of two others. The Louisville offense is effectively summed up as ‘run Powell.’
- Biggest Weakness – Passing Game – Although senior QB Adam Froman had himself a good year, over 1,600 yards passing with 11 TDs, he had little help from his receivers. The Cardinals leading receiver in terms of yardage was tight end Cameron Graham. If Southern Miss is able to stop the run and get a lead early, even a quick seven point lead, U of L could be in trouble. FCB ranks the Louisville offense at 60 and the Southern Miss defense at 89th, so expect sloppiness on both sides. Read the rest of this entry →

Big Easties Awards: Players of the Year in Big East Football

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

As we did in the mid-season, with the unbelievably popular Big Easties, today we hand out the end of season Big Easties (we’re nothing if not creative)!

In awards handed out earlier in the evening…

Special Teams Player of the Year Big Easties -

Returns – Lindsey Lamar – South Florida – Lamar returned two kickoffs for touchdowns this season and in 24 returns he averaged 29.0 yards per.

Kicker – Dave Teggart – Connecticut – Kickers are weekly waiver wire pick up plays, but Teggart at least gave his new team points each week. With Connecticut loving to run the ball, their red zone offense usually consisted of; run, run, run, and then kick. Teggart averaged, averaged, 9 points per game.

Punter – Psyche! - In fantasy terms punters are like the ‘Vice Presidents to Football Operations’ people in the NFL. They are apart of football, and even matter from time to time, but you still don’t understand why the game needs them.

On to tonight’s awards, including Offensive Player of the Year Big Easties!

Big East Philosophy: A celebration of UConn Huskies and Jordan Todman

Monday, November 29th, 2010

With one more week to go in the regular season, the Big East is Connecticut’s to lose.

The Huskies need a win at South Florida this weekend and Connecticut, only a few short years removed from D-1AA (now known as FCS) competition, will head to a BCS Bowl.

Of course Connecticut has lost it’s fair share of games this season. That fact is likely to cause some outrage amongst the elitist elite of college football. The Huskies have lost to Michigan (the very same Michigan with Greg Robinson as it’s defensive coordinator) and Temple (I don’t care how much better the Owls are, losing to Temple is never a good thing).

Say what they will, and they will say a lot, Connecticut has a lot of talent and the Huskies are rolling. Let’s take a look at the make up of the likely 2010 Big East Champion (Is this a reverse jinx? Do I put a lot of parentheses in a paragraph?)
