Duke (2009 Statistics) Head coach David Cutcliffe took over in 2008. While they are identified as a basketball school having just won the 2010 National Championship as well as a title in each of the past two decades (1991, 1992 and 2001) as well as winning 119 ACC Championships, Duke actually began as a football […]
Florida 2010
September 1, 2010 by
Florida (2009 Statistics) Urban Meyer is in his 6th year as head coach of Florida. The Gators may have five to six starters back on offense in 2010, but the loss of Tim Tebow counts as a significantly against them as he was basically Florida’s entire offense for the past few years. Last year he […]

Georgia 2010
September 1, 2010 by
Georgia (2009 Statistics) This is Mark Richt’s 10th year as Head Coach of Georgia. One thing that is notable about Richt is his impressive record in true road games (in an opponent’s stadium).

Georiga Tech 2010
September 1, 2010 by
Georgia Tech (2009 Statistics) The only way to describe Georgia Tech is by the offensive scheme head coach Paul Johnson has used everywhere he has gone: the TRIPLE-OPTION, SPREAD OFFENSE. Under previous head coach Chan Gailey, Georgia Tech had a similar attitude on offense where they predominantly ran the ball. But when Paul Johnson took […]
Illinois 2010
September 1, 2010 by
Illinois (2009 Statistics) This team has had exactly one winning season under Ron Zook (now in his 6th year as head coach). In 2007 the Fighting Illini went 9-4 and found themselves in the ROSE BOWL, where they struggled against USC and lost 49-17. But at least they were there (and I was there) with […]

Kansas 2010
September 1, 2010 by
Kansas (2009 Statistics) Kansas doesn’t seem to have an identity right now so the best way to understand where they are is to know where they’ve been. They peaked in 2007 when they went 12-1 and finished with a #7 ranking in the country. They finished with top rankings in both total offense and total […]
Kentucky 2010

LSU 2010
September 1, 2010 by
LSU (2009 Statistics) Les Miles is in his 6th year as Head Coach.

The defense has been […]
