Two seasons ago, the Alabama Crimson Tide were barely a .500 team, settling to a 7-6 record after a defeat of Colorado in the 2007 Independence Bowl. What a difference a couple of years make. The Crimson Tide's shocking 31-17 loss to the Utah Utes in the 2009 Sugar Bowl didn't serve as a precursor to the 2009 season. Behind Heisman Trophy winning RB Mark Ingram's 116 yard championship game performance, with quite an assist from true freshman RB Trent Richardson, the Tide outlasted the Longhorns 37-21 in ...

Chris Peterson's Broncos used an outstanding team defensive performance to stop the Mountain West Conference's dominance in the bowl season. In the process, Boise State avenged a 17-16 loss to the Horned Frogs in last year's Poinsettia Bowl. For the second time in four seasons, the team posted an undefeated record. Their 14-0 mark this year makes them only the second team to accomplish the feat in the history of college football. The Broncos got 'Nasty' on college football in 2009 and took it all the wa...

Houston Nutt's Ole Miss Rebels put it all together in the Cotton Bowl Saturday afternoon, outlasting the Oklahoma State Cowboys 21-7. For the second consecutive year, the team used a strong second half to pull away from its opponent. Last year, after falling behind early to the Texas Tech Red Raiders, they turned it on to race away from the Big 12 foe. This year was no different, as the Tyrone Nix led Rebel defense forced six turnovers in the fourth quarter alone. Here is a look at some of the action in...

The Air Force Falcons came into the Armed Forces Bowl simply looking for a win. After having come up empty the last two seasons in the bowl, the Falcons' focus was on display from the start. They jumped out to an early 14-0 lead and never looked back, easily outpacing the Conference USA representative 47-20. In a rematch of last year's game, Troy Calhoun's squad continued the dominance of the Mountain West Conference thus far in bowl games. The conference, still searching for an automatic BCS bid for its...

Dabo Swinney has officially gotten the monkey off his back. Well, really the back of the Tigers' program. Under former coach Tommy Bowden, the last bowl victory for the school came in the 2005 Champs Sports Bowl versus the Colorado Buffaloes. Swinney, who took over the squad in the middle of last season, almost got over the hump in last year's Gator Bowl vs. Nebraska, just coming up short 26-21. That wouldn't be the case in Nashville, TN. on Sunday night, as Kentucky head coach Rich Brooks coached what ...

There were a plethora of draft-eligible pro prospects on display for NFL scouts this past week in Montgomery, Alabama. The departure of the annual Blue-Gray All-Star game left a void in the historic city. Led by Derick Moore, CEO of Atlanta-based Synergy Sport, Inc., the new game provides a potential growth for his native hometown city. The city hosted not only the game, but a week full of various combine drills designed to let the players show off their skill sets for all 32 NFL teams. Florida A&M head...

Here are some of the images from last night's hard fought national championship between the Montana Grizzlies and the Villanova Wildcats. Both teams went through some bumps-n-bruises, but in the end it was the firepower of the 'Nova running game, in what became a four headed attack, that proved too much for the explosive Grizzlies.

Saturday night at the SEC Championship game Bama quarterback Greg McElroy stole the show from Florida’s “superman” Tim Tebow. Mark Ingram stated his case to potentially become Alabama's first Heisman Trophy winner Saturday in Atlanta. His 29 touches produced 189 yards and three touchdowns – all against one of the best defenses in the country. Alabama will make its NCAA leading 57th bowl appearance and will try to earn its 32nd bowl victory. Also at stake is the SEC's perfect 5-0 record in the BCS National C...
