Hopefully he's back for OU.

If he's having concussion issues this far out after the hit, he may have lingering effects all season.

  kill shotting your own players.

the thing about Arizona, is they Looked horrible. that wasnt the result of missing one WR.
that was a poorly coached team, with bad effort, bad execution.
they had a chance after they were down 21-7 and intercepted Weeden. then proceeded to call a timeout, get 3 straight penalties then punt and give up 6 on the ensuing drive.

Tis what I'm worried about. Seems to be an emphasis on concussions and taking all precautions this year. Would be a big blow to our WR core.

In case you needed any further evidence that Baylor's threatened lawsuit against the SEC is absurd, President Ken Starr supposedly said that the damages associated with the lawsuit exceed $1T. Yes, one trillion dollars. As in $1,000,000,000,000.00.

For a little perspective, the state's (Texas) GDP as a whole was around $1.33T in 2010

I really don't have a problem with Baylor threatening a lawsuit, as they're looking out for their best interests just as TAMU is by moving to the SEC. But at least come back to reality and discuss it as level-headed, grown men.

[h2]S.A.M. president says Sharrif Floyd investigation likely related to his foundation paying travel expenses[/h2]by Jason Lieser
Everyone outside the University of Florida football program is wondering why DE Sharrif Floyd has been ruled ineligible. And even some people who have a vested interest in the investigation are unsure what it is about.

The latest to offer a theory is Steve Gordon, the president of the Student Athlete Mentoring Foundation. S.A.M. is a Delaware-based organization that describes itself as a group that provides “supplementary support to high school student-athletes in both their academic and athletic endeavors.

Former Wolverines strike it rich: Take pride, Lloyd Carr: No draft class in college history has produced the type of contracts that Michigan's Class of 2007 has.
This summer alone, former first-round pick Leon Hall signed a four-year, $39 million extension with the Bengals; former second-round pick LaMarr Woodley signed a six-year, $61.5 million extension with the Steelers; former second-round pick David Harrissigned a four-year, $36 million extension with the Jets; former second-round pick Alan Branch signed a two-year, $9 million deal with the Seahawks; and former fifth-round pickSteve Breaston signed a five-year, $20 million deal with the Chiefs.

All together, Michigan's draft class of 2007 earned $165.5 million worth of contracts this summer.

[h1]Scout’s corner: USC has a talent on the D-line[/h1]
by Wes Bunting
September 07, 02011

Observations and analysis from the first week of the college football season, including thoughts about some of the nation’s top defensive prospects.

ICONTate looks more like a strong safety only.

Please move him back…
When I watched Maryland tape this summer, SS Kenny Tate was the one guy who repeatedly jumped out to me. He played fast, was aggressive attacking downhill and consistently wrapped on the play. However, after watching him this week vs. Miami as he made the transition to outside linebacker, my initial thoughts were he simply isn’t as impactful. He’s a tall, long kid who was routinely washed out on contact and took himself out of far too many plays trying to run around blocks. Plus, he wasn’t as effective trying to tackle in space reading sideline-to-sideline compared to when he was able to attack downhill. He did hold up well in man coverage out of the backfield. However, he’s just not asked to play to his strengths as a linebacker. Tate is a guy who needs to attack the line of scrimmage with a head of steam where he can pick his way through traffic, find the football and make plays. Something he wasn’t asked to do Monday night, as he was pretty much a non-factor.

A semi bright spot…
Minnesota standout Troy Stoudermire has always had the talent. But the 5-9, 196-pound DB has also had his fair share of run-ins with the coaching staff during his time as a Gopher. However, after making the move back to corner last year, he flashed for me on tape this summer and did the same at times vs. USC this weekend. He’s still raw with his footwork and doesn’t do a great job angling his drop toward the sideline in zone coverage at times. Nevertheless, he displays good click and close ability once he collects himself, takes proper angles toward the football and when he wants to tackle he can wrap. However, what was even more impressive was his physical natural off the line in pressman. Again, he’s more of an athlete playing corner who will lose balance a bit through contact. But, he did a nice job shooting his hands quickly off the line, sliding his feet laterally and re-routing initially. His overall size hurts his chances of playing on the outside in the NFL and his technique isn’t ideal for the slot. However, if he continues to develop at the position he has a shot to make and play on a roster, but looking over his past that’s still a big if.

Not buying the hype…
When watching USC linebacker Chris Galippo, there’s simply nothing about his game that I think he does at a “plus

JUCO RANKINGS: Preseason JUCO Top 50
With most of the teams' rosters pretty well set for the season, the 2012 Rivals.com Preseason Junior College Top 50 has been released. It is a very strong year in the trenches as 24 prospects on the list play along the offensive or defensive lines. However, it is almost all skill position players that debut at the very top of the list.
[table][tr][td]

[/td][td]

[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][/tr][tr][td]Cordarrelle Patterson's coach ranks the receiver as the best he has ever coached.[/td][/tr][/table]Hutchinson (Kan.) C.C. wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson had a huge freshman season, tallying 52 receptions for 908 yards and nine scores while adding another two touchdowns on kickoff returns and he has started off this season strong as well. It was enough to earn the 6-foot-4, 205-pound Patterson the top spot.
Hutchinson head coach Rion Rhoades knows he has something special in the former Rock Hill (S.C.) Northwestern product.

"For us he's a very dynamic player," Rhoades said. "He's capable of making a big play any time he touches the football. He's really matured as player a lot in his time here. It's hard to say exactly what his best traits are. He's got a lot of upside. He's extremely fast. He's got a lot of quickness; he has a lot of shake. He can run somebody over too. He's got a lot of strength and a lot of pop."

Rhoades is at a loss to compare Patterson to another player but he does have some loft expectations for his star receiver.

"He's just a dynamic player. I've had some good players in my time - first-round draft pick-type guys - and he's definitely the best one I've had."

Following right behind Patterson in the rankings as the No. 2 overall prospect is Woodland Hills (Calif.) Pierce C.C. safety Gerald Bowman. Originally from Philadelphia (Pa.) Imhotep, the 6-foot-1, 210-pound defender has made his name in the California junior college ranks. He has made an even stronger impression on head coach Efrain Martinez.

"He's the best safety we've ever had," Martinez said. "He's the whole package. He's got speed, he can hit - he's just that good."

In fact, Martinez compares Bowman to perhaps the best prospect at the position in the NFL.

"He reminds me of Troy Polamalu. He's a run-stopper like Troy Polamalu. He's a hard-hitting guy. He's the hardest hitter in the country."

Scooba (Miss.) East Mississippi C.C. defensive end Denico Autry is the lone lineman in the top five of the list and the 6-foot-6, 245-pound defender is very deserving. Defensive coordinator Williams Jones knows he has a special player on his hands.

"We think he's the best player in the country," Jones said. "He's got size and speed. He's a great pass-rusher. He's got long arms and some great quickness. His best football is going to continue to be ahead of him. He's got offers from everybody in the country. He's one of those unique players you really like to have a chance to coach every 10 or 20 years."

The most impressive aspect about Autry is his versatility. It is something that has caused college coaches from all over to make the trek to Scooba according to Jones.

"We stood him up last game. He played a middle linebacker, kind of hybrid rush position and made our defensive calls. He made two or three big hits on the quarterback and receiver. He's really just a natural player. He really compares to some of the great ones in the league like DeMarcus Ware or (Shawne) Merriman. He's really like Willie McGinest because he's just so versatile. He can play with his hand in the dirt, he can play middle linebacker or rush end in the 3-4 or 4-3. It doesn't matter. Everybody is looking for that Jack backer, that guy that can stand up or play with his hand in the ground. He's that guy."

[/td][/tr][tr][td]

[/td][/tr][tr][td]Four-star DB Travell Dixon is relatively new to football.[/td][/tr][/table]Thatcher (Ariz.) Eastern Arizona C.C. cornerback Travell Dixon has very good size at 6-2, 200 pounds but he can play the pass as well and still, head coach John O'Mera says the former Miami (Fla.) Norland standout has his best days ahead of him.
"He's a shutdown corner," O'Mera said. "He's big and he's physical. He's the total package. He's still a little green so he has a huge upside. He hasn't played a whole lot of football. This is just his fourth year of football or so. He's just got so much more to go and he just gets better and better as he practices. We definitely look for big things for him at the next level and potentially on after that.

"The last guy that I had that was like him was Zack Bowman and he's playing for the Bears. He's got those kinds of skills. They're both big corners - Bowman is a safety now but he was a corner for us - and super, super fast. He's competitive and just a special player right now."

Rounding out the top five is Brenham (Texas) Blinn College running back Marion Grice. Originally from Houston (Texas) Nimitz where he shared the backfield with current Oregon receiver Josh Huff, Grice is a power back that can also break the long run. Blinn assistant coach Keith Browning continually comes away impressed with the 6-foot, 210-pound runner.

"He's a big back and he's still growing," Browning said. "By the time it's all said and done he's going to be a 220-pound running back. He can easily fit in an I set or in a spread set. He's good at keeping his pads down and he's a very physical runner. He's got deceptive speed. You get him in the 40 and he'll run a high 4.5 or 4.6 but on the football field nobody is going to catch him. On the football field he has elite speed.

"He's got great hands out of the backfield. He probably needs to improve on his pass protection a little bit but he's strong enough and physical enough to do that just by keeping working at it. He's a big-time prospect. We've had Michael Hayes, who will have a chance to go pro. Bernard Scott went to the NFL and James Johnson went to the NFL. He's easily on the same level with those guys."

Rounding out the top 10 in order are Milledgeville (Ga.) Georgia Military College defensive tackle Daniel McCullers, Santa Clarita (Calif.) College of the Canyons offensive guard and Auburn commit Will Latu, Fullerton (Calif.) C.C. running back and USC commit Kelvin York, Walnut (Calif.) Mt. San Antonio C.C. defensive tackle Visesio Salt and East Mississippi defensive tackle Damien Jacobs.

Defensive ends (9) and offensive tackles (

were the most-represented positions in the top 50. On the other end of the spectrum only quarterbacks and one tight end made the cut.

Blinn, Georgia Military and City College of San Francisco had the most players on the list with four each while Corsicana (Texas) Navarro and Mt. San Antonio both had three. Georgia, Purdue and Texas A&M lead all four-year colleges as each have two of the top 50 prospects committed to their respective programs.
