Arkansas 2015 Preview: Hoggin’ With The Hogs

This weekend wasn’t the greatest for the Arkansas Razorbacks, after their top running back, Jonathan Williams, broke his foot in fall camp and is out for the rest of the season. Now, a lot rests on some other players. How is this going to have an affect on the Hogs – who some believe could be battling it out for a SEC West title (or at least be much improved?) LAST YEAR This was the best 7-6 (2-6 in the SEC) team in the nation. Had Arkansas’ kickers actually been able to do their job properly and their defense not choked up a late lead, the Razorbacks would have beaten Alabama and Texas A&M and been a far nicer 4-4

Georgia WR goes down in practice

Georgia wide receiver Justin Scott-Wesley has gone down in practice with what appears to be a knee injury. According to Macon.com, Scott-Wesley – who had knee surgery in the off-season – injured his right knee while appearing to run a normal route in practice. The video can be seen here. We wouldn’t be surprised if this latest injury will see Scott-Wesley retire from football. There’s only so much punishment a knee can take, after all. Scott-Wesley only had 52 yards receiving and a TD last year, previously injured his knee in 2013. He was also suspended for a game by Georgia head coach Mark Richt in 2014 for being caught in possession of marijuana. The Scott-Wesley news is another injury to

Razorbacks head coach Bret Bielema said today: “Jonathan Williams won’t be with us for the regular season” – updating the media on an earlier announcement that the running back would miss “an extended period of time”. He said at the time of the injury announcement: “I have no doubt that Jonathan will come back stronger than ever. Anyone that knows Jonathan Williams knows this is just another opportunity for him to prove the man of character and substance that he really is…It’s an unfortunate injury to a great young man, but we are in the process of gathering as much information as

Alabama QB injures foot

Alabama QB Jake Coker has injured his foot, which will put him out for several days, it has been announced. Alabama head coach Nick Saban said in a statement: “Jake Coker has a minor foot injury that we think will keep him out of practice for several days. Our physicians anticipate full recovery.” Thanks to the secretive nature of Alabama’s team plans, no-one really knows who was in front during the QB battle – although it was presumed that Coker, who came to Alabama from Florida State last season as a graduate season. He had previously battled Jameis Winston for the Seminoles starting job, but he (obviously) didn’t win. Coker came to Alabama, but lost out on the starting QB job to

Ranking The Top 10 running backs in the SEC

  If it’s quarterbacks the SEC lacks, it’s running backs we are overflowing with. Leonard Fournette, Derrick Henry, Nick Chubb….the list runs on. It’s probably the hardest list we’ll have to do all season (that and the “Who’s going to win the SEC West” poll). Anyway, here’s our Top 10…. 1. Leonard Fournette (LSU) 6-1, 250lbs and very, very fast, Fournette ran for 1,034 yards and 10 TDs, and also had seven receptions for 127 yards. His season was highlighted by his running over a Texas A&M defender, and since then, he’s been a Heisman favorite.  Some might think this is a little strong, bearing in mind he’s got a year to go in his Tigers career, but then again, they’ve obviously

Mark Richt: I have no idea who the QB starter will be

Mark Richt, the Georgia coach, spoke at SEC Media Days. While we’d love to try and translate something deep and meaningful into what he said, we’re just going to take his quotes out and let you decipher them. But Richt’s a pretty blunt person….so… ON CRITICISM AND LEARNING FROM BOBBY BOWDEN AT FLORIDA STATE (SARCASTICALLY) “I didn’t know I got criticism” “I think the big thing — I know when I first started coaching 32 years ago, whenever it was, with Coach Bowden and being in what we call hideaway and him talking about notes. A few things he talked about in the very beginning of those sessions, and one was criticism. He said, it’s just the nature of the
