Peterson set a career record with 257 combined return yards and 2 touchdo...

It’s been a long time since anyone has spoken about the Virginia Tech offense leading them to a division crown. Not to mention, Virginia Tech’s offense has been at the bottom of the ACC in total offensive production the last two years. This season brings about a change in Frank Beamer’s offensive attack. With seven returning starters and a plethora of returning backups, this offensive personnel could be one of the most explosive groups Frank Beamer’s had in his 24 years as Virginia Tech's head coach. QB ...

Changes became effective immediately after UVA’s season finale against Virginia Tech. Out was Al Groh, in came Mike London. London served as the Richmond Spiders' head coach for just two seasons, where he went 24-5 with an FCS championship.

On offense, Paul Johnson’s triple threat option attack should have no trouble putting up points. They...

N.C. State has reached just one bowl game in the last three years under HC Tom O’Brien. The fans are antsy for a turnaround, but the players have been patiently waiting for success. Unfortunately, this season doesn’t figure to be any different for the Wolfpack, whose 5-7 record reflected O’Brien’s first season as the Wolfpack HC in 2007. The Wolfpack could be a 7 win team at best, but it will have to start with their veteran QB Russell Wilson. With targets like Spencer Owens and Jarvis Williams, Wilson i...

Chris Hairston (#61 pictured blocking) enters the 2010 season as the only senior on the Tigers' offensive line. After only receiving HBCU offers from S.C. State and Hampton, Clemson became the lone Division I program to offer Hairston a scholarship. Since then, the 6’7" 325 pounder has started in three consecutive bowl games at offensive tackle. If he can stay healthy this season, he will look to make it a fourth straight bowl game start, something no other Clemson offensive tackle has done in school hi...
