California (2009 Statistics) Jeff Tedford’s 9th year as head coach. Quarterback Kevin Riley (who began his career by filling in for an injured Nate Lonshore in 2007) is now a Senior. Last year Riley passed for just 2850 yards and a 54.7% completion rate. Those numbers will need to improve for Cal to improve upon […]

Cincinnati (2009 Statistics) Head Coach Butch Jones is in his 1st season. He was previously at Western Michigan, where he replaced Brian Kelly after Kelly left coach at Cincinnati. He now replaces Kelly once again as Kelly has left to coach at Notre Dame. Cincinnati was 12-1 last year under Kelly so it will be […]
Clemson 2010
September 1, 2010 by
Clemson (2009 Statistics) Lately this team keeps climbing up the ladder of success, but finds itself knocked back down. You could argue that they were successful in 2009 given their 9-5 record. But 4 of those 5 losses were really close games (decided by 5 points or less), which means they could have finished with […]
Connecticut 2010
September 1, 2010 by
Connecticut (2009 Statistics) Last year’s team was defined by the loss of Jasper Howard who was murdered just 6 games into their season. They were 4-2 at that point and lost the next three games (by a combined 10 points). It took two overtimes against Notre Dame (in South Bend no less) to finally get […]
Duke 2010
September 1, 2010 by
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 […]
Florida State 2010
September 1, 2010 by
Florida State (2009 Statistics) 2010 marks the first time Bobby Bowden won’t be on the sideline as head coach of Florida State since 1975.

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). He enters the 2010 season 33-6. Offense returns all of the 2009 starters except for Quarterback, which will be played by Redshirt […]
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 […]
