Fran is selling player injury info to boosters

This makes me sick.

As if I didn't need another reason to want Fran fired, we find out he's been selling information about our players to boosters, and benefitting financially from it.

I wonder how our players' parents feel about this?

More single-wing football, this time from Pitt

Here is Pitt running their version of the Wildcat, although they feature the power sweep more than the regular sweep (Steeler, in Arkansas' terminology) that Arkansas uses.

Arkansas' Wild Hog Series

This is too awesome not to post here.

As a fan of the single wing, how can I neglect this beautiful Motion series?

Good games coming Saturday

USC @ Nebraska. Tennessee @ Florida. Arkansas - Alabama. There will be some fun games to watch this coming Saturday.

Monday Night Football doubleheader

I really wish college football would consider having a double-header of lesser known teams playing on Monday nights. It would be good exposure for some programs, and would bring us closer to games all seven days of the week.
I know they'll never do this b/c they don't want to compete with the NFL, but I can dream.

Secondary in zone coverage inside our 20 yd line

That's all you need to know about our triple overtime win over Fresno State on Saturday. We were playing zone inside our own 20. Our defensive braintrust(?) has so little faith in our cornerbacks and safeties, they don't even trust them to cover WRs when they are compacted down inside the red zone, and have nowhere to go but straight at the defense.
I fear we are in for another one of Fran's "odd year defensive swoons".

Navy-Rutgers thoughts

Yes, Navy lost to Rutgers. Yes, they were blown out. But there is something to be said for playing your ass off, executing your offense til the end of the game, and Navy was doing that. It makes me proud to know that those kids on the field who refused to give up will be defending my country in the coming years.
Besides, I love watching Paul Johnson's flexbone offense.
