  • Smashed Wilson Racquet

    Smashed Wilson Racquet

    So, every once in a while there is a story about a starting quarterback named Russell Wilson that people tend to hear about because it was like a smashed tennis racquet.

    For all the good and bad reasons, the Steelers announced on Wednesday afternoon Wilson’s QB designation. Wilson led the Seattle Seahawks to two Super Bowl appearances and years later is looking to re-spark that magic with the Denver Broncos and now Pittsburgh Steelers.

    Pittsburgh has fought under a new general manager by the name of Omar Khan and he has compiled decent draft picks but nothing too superstar-like since his promotion. Also, he added Andy Weidl who worked closely with the Eagles offensive line and won some division and championship titles along the way.

    The main hire is Arthur Smith. Smith is coming off a firing and critics have been skeptical of his two tight-end systematic formations and playing inside the middle of the field with Wilson. One of Wilson’s main areas of concern.

    Wilson cannot run like he is fairly used to. And after the past couple of seasons in Denver, he looks lowly more productive with Justin Fields easily ready to take the throne.

  • Florida State Upset by Georgia Tech

    Florida State Upset by Georgia Tech

    Florida State was upset by Georgia Tech by a final score of 24-21 in Ireland on Saturday. DJ Uiagelelei ended the day with a superb stat line but spent most time throwing within five yards of the line of scrimmage. Last year’s FSU team was undefeated and started discussion of a possible spot in the playoff tournament. As it turns out, Keon Coleman, Jordan Travis, Trey Benson, and multiple others have left the program and it has been a rocky start for the Seminoles under coach Mike Norvell’s and a highest scoring offense from last year.

    As for Georgia Tech, they rammed together pretty decent drives, especially toward the end when Florida State answered with a drive of their own, and Georgia Tech responded with a game-winning drive to elicit the strength of its quarterback Haynes King meshed with the offensive line. It was a solid day for Georgia Tech as they now take advantage of a brand new conference race.

  • Cade York Traded to Commanders

    Cade York Traded to Commanders

    The Commanders continue to make moves as they not only trade Jahan Dotson but acquire Cade York from the Cleveland Browns for a conditional seventh-round pick. This comes off the heels of a successful college career at LSU (2022) and never quite gelling with the Cleveland Browns.

    York is pretty hopeful he will secure a kicking job before the regular season as he started the preseason decently and worked through other hurdles before re-signing with Cleveland in 2024.

  • Sandersmania

    Sandersmania

    Hi, and welcome back to college football. It is Colorado football season or would like to say Sandersmania for the pure simple fact that Shedeur Sanders was the Buffaloe’s bright spot last year. He has entered himself in top mock draft board conversations to ease his transition into the NFL. It turns better.

    Sanders, in his lone great season, completed 69.3% of his passes for 3,230 yards, 31 total touchdowns, and only three interceptions. Not bad to start. But he even breaks out better in terms of NFL scouts based on his agility and size to become another Sanders in the wings waiting for their draft number to be called.

    Prototypical is the word to describe aloud Sandersmania. He is sharp, tenacious, and aggressive. He is also Deion Sander’s son, who recently discussed on a podcast that an ‘Eli Manning situation’ is coming to a head soon for Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders.

    Hunter is another highly recruited player out of Jackson State and Colorado who plays more than one position for the Buffaloes. It will be a gifted feeling for Sanders or Hunter to be drafted by a respective team or greater but Sanders is easily the most intriguing prospect entering senior year.

    He will have every opportunity to prove that he is a legitimate magnet to the press, fans, and scouts.

  • Dylan Raiola Earns Starting QB Position

    Dylan Raiola Earns Starting QB Position

    Nebraska named Dylan Raiola its starting QB less than two weeks from their season opener against UTEP.

    Raiola performed very well during the spring game, just enough to appeal to the Huskers coaching staff and be better than his predecessor Heinrich Haarberg who played poorly inside the FBS rankings of quarterbacks last year.

    Raiola was highly recruited by Georgia and Texas and decided to play for coach Matt Rhule instead. A bit of anticipation is that he will become the first true freshman to lead the Huskers to a nice total offense record since Aidan Martinez.

  • Fields in Steel

    Fields in Steel

    Justin Fields was the 2021 11th overall pick. He was sitting in a distant room himself on draft night standing as if he gloriously won the national lottery and bribed to stand so elegantly pleased and arrogant to the notable fact that he never attained a Heisman award with the collection of Ohio State talent surrounded and retired by Alabama in the 2020 CFB title Playoff game.

    Fields was drafted by the Chicago Bears. Some attribute his short tenure to horrendous coaching. Can it be safely neutral? Ironically, Matt Eberflus is currently under contract but coordinator Luke Getsy was vocal in establishing a relationship and rhythm with Fields and the now Pittsburgh Steeler managed to compile the most single season rushing yards by any Chicago Bears quarterback with 60 percent passes or low completed.

    Not too fault, former Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford threw over 4,000 passing yards with a 60 or less completion percentage rating in one of three of his first seasons.

    Fields claims it is basically a new beginning with the ‘interesting’ dynamic of veteran Russell Wilson and the newbie. Fields believes his ceiling has not come close yet and it is rough to tell based off his maturity but under coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers defense, this might be the ice breaker.

    The Steelers will run a physical offense next year and Russell Wilson will have a heavy load. Expect Fields in mighty steel.
