KJ Hill: “The Guy Who Won the Week”

You may have seen some of the tweets regarding KJ Hill’s big week during Senior Bowl practice, and while no words can sum up his performance like video of his one-handed grab, PFF lead Mike Renner may have come close. “It’s a very deep group here at the Senior Bowl,” Renner told the NFL Network.

Hooker, Line, and Sinker

I’ve been reading a lot of criticism regarding the beltway press and their coverage of the upcoming presidential election. It’s made me think quite a bit about the ways that sports media might be coming up short in our coverage. After floating this thought to my Twitter followers, I got a lot of good feedback.

Ohio State vs. Minnesota Preview

It was an irony of Big Ten football that the league’s most stable coaching situation was simultaneously its most fragile. Minnesota head man Jerry Kill, defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys, and offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover all worked together since their days at Emporia State in 1999. They followed each other to Southern Illinois and then Northern

Ohio State vs. Rutgers Preview

A week before Rutgers coach Kyle Flood returned from a suspension for violating university policy by contacting a professor without using an academic support staffer as an intermediary, the Scarlet Knights had a comeback come up short against Michigan State.

They’re so excited, in fact, Indiana’s supporters lobbied for ESPN’s Game Day to come to Bloomington for the

Ohio State vs. Western Michigan Preview

Expect to hear a lot of talk about Broncos coach PJ “Row the Boat” Fleck this week. Despite currently being the youngest coach in the FBS, he already has some impressive credentials. As a former 49ers receiver and Tampa Bay Buccaneers receivers coach, Fleck is one of three men now at the helm of a

Ohio State vs. Northern Illinois Preview

Northern Illinois  has won three out of the last four Mid American Conference titles and is riding a MAC record streak of seven-straight seasons reaching a bowl game. While dominating their league, Goliath is also comfortable in the role of David, having beaten a “Power 5″ conference opponent in five of the past six seasons.
