Opinion : Myles Garrett or Leonard Fournette at #1?

Image
   Former Texas A&M Defensive End Myles Garrett has been widely considered the #1 overall prospect in the Draft since early last season, and has been expected to go in that first spot since that time. With a very strong balance of strength and speed on the edge, Garrett can be an instant upgrade to the defensive line of the team that drafts him. Yesterday, April 10th, however reports began surfacing that the current owners of that pick, the Cleveland Browns, are looking into taking former LSU standout Running Back Leonard Fournette at that spot. Both positions are widely considered needs for the Browns at this point, Garrett expected to play opposite of last seasons rookie standout Emmanuel Ogbah, who collected a team high 6 sacks and another 53 tackles over 16 starts. Ogbah is almost as fast as Garrett on the edge, so both players could help the other tremendously and intimate opposing quarterbacks. Fournette, on the other hand​, could step into the starting runn...

Thanksgiving Day Football - NCAA Edition

So the NFL annually plays 3 games spanned throughout Thanksgiving Thursday to provide us with football to watch on the most thankful day of the year. But, let's face it. Who wants to watch the pros go at it when we have great College Football on to entertain us? This year is interesting. Two teams who previously were ranked in the Top 5 earlier in the season and have now fallen from the Top 25 with disappointing losses, face off against each other at 7:30 ET on ESPN. Folks, it's LSU at Texas A&M, and exciting match-up for their season finales. Both coaches will be scrambling for their jobs in this game. Kevin Sumlin is now completing his 5th year at Texas A&M with no championship ring to show for it. Every year, Texas A&M builds a big hype around their team only to fall short at the most crucial moments of the season. And so, whether many people realize it or not, Sumlins job is on the line with people like Tom Herman floating around as a possible sign on to head ...

College Playoff Commitee's Top 25 Rankings 11 15 2016

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, what?!?! After a weekend of utter chaos, where the 2nd, 3rd and 4th ranked teams all took losses to teams that they shouldn't have, and the analysts all reported a shakeup in the top 4, we got... Musical Chairs? Well, almost. The latest top 25 rankings were a little bit disappointing for Louisville fans and anyone who wants to call the Big 12 or Pac 12 dominant, but there were quite some interesting revelations. FINAL 4 #1. Alabama Crimson Tide VS #4 Clemson Tigers With all of the close games Clemson has played to teams they should have destroyed (Ahem, North Carolina State, Pittsburgh, TROY), I don't understand why Louisville can't be ranked ahead of Clemson. If you watch the Louisville/Clemson game, you will see a lot of iffy calls, rough cheap play from Clemson and a few other interesting things and, oh yes... That will be upcoming soon in an article. In otherwords, Clemson is 9-1, just lost to a Pittsburgh team who can't play defense, Watso...

LSU's Head Coaching Carousel

LSU fired Head Coach Les Miles along with Offensive Coordinator Cam Cameron after a close and difficult loss to Auburn in week 4. Defensive Line coach Ed Orgeron became the successor to the role and has since led LSU to a 4-1 record, their single loss being to #1 Alabama, a game that was hotly contested and scoreless until the 4th quarter. Now reports are circulating that an angry and upset Florida State Head Coach Jimbo Fisher, not Ed Orgeron, is the leading candidate for a head coaching vacancy where a well loved assistant, affectionately named "Coach O" by players and fans alike, is keeping LSU in the top 25. The anonymous reports also believe that LSU's Athletic Director, Joe Alleva, wants to hire Fisher, who will need a $5M buyout to get him from his contract at Florida State. Jimbo Fisher is a highly respected name in the college football industry. After serving on Nick Saban's 2003 National Title LSU team as the offensive Coordinator, Fisher jumped around a l...
