Two teams hoping to get off on the right foot in 2010 collide in Denver this weekend, as the Colorado Buffaloes and the Colorado State Rams lock horns in a Rocky Mountain showdown at Invesco Field. Colorado State head coach Steve Fairchild has high hopes for his club this year and considering how poorly the team closed out 2009, the only way to go is up for the squad. After winning three straight to open the campaign, beating the Buffs, Weber State and Nevada, the Rams hits the skids with nine straight losses and that means the program is tied with Washington State with the third-longest losing streak in the nation heading into the 2010 campaign. Needless to say, CSU went winless in Mountain... Read More →

Long-time Hoosier State rivals will collide in the 2010 season opener as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish play host to the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday afternoon. Purdue is led by second-year head coach Danny Hope, who led the Boilermakers to just one win through the first six games in 2009. Fortunately, the squad enjoyed a late surge and finished 5-7, including 4-4 in Big Ten action. After Saturday’s game, Purdue will face Western Illinois, Ball State and Toledo in succession, so a victory in this opener could very well be a springboard to a 4-0 start. As for Notre Dame, it is prepared for the first game of the Brian Kelly era. A proven winner, Kelly resurrected both the Central Michigan... Read More →

Bitter rivals will collide at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium on Saturday afternoon, as the Louisville Cardinals welcome the Kentucky Wildcats to town. Both of these teams feature new head coaches. Joker Phillips takes over for the retired Rich Brooks at Kentucky. Brooks stopped by a Wildcats’ practice last week, and Phillips let the media in on Brooks message to the players. Last season, Kentucky started strong but faded late to finish 7-6, including a bowl loss to Tennessee. There is reason to believe that improvement is possible, as many key contributors are back in the fold. As for Louisville, it is now led by Charlie Strong, who excelled as the defensive coordinator of the Florida... Read More →

The Akron Zips will kick off their 2010 season when they host the Syracuse Orange this Saturday evening at Infocision Stadium. Doug Marrone enters his second season at the helm for Syracuse, and is ready to lead this once proud program back to the top of the Big East. Although the team only claimed four victories in 2009, it is clear that coach Marrone has this Orange squad disciplined and ready to play, so it should be interesting to see how Syracuse opens its 2010 season. As for the Zips, they are also looking to rebound from a miserable 2009 campaign, and leading the way into the new season is coach Rob Ianello. Ianello replaced J.D. Brookhart at the end of last season and takes over an Akron... Read More →

Last season Troy opened its schedule on the road against Bowling Green. The Trojans lost the first-ever meeting between the two schools, 31-14, but now they are looking for revenge in this year’s opener when the Falcons invade Movie Gallery Stadium on Saturday to take on the Trojans. Dave Clawson begins his second season at the helm for Bowling Green this weekend, and he will try to lead BGSU to an even higher level of success in 2010. In his first year at BGSU Clawson led the Falcons to a seven win season and a trip to the Humanitarian Bowl. More importantly the Falcons finished with an impressive 6-2 ledger in league action. As for the Trojans, they continued their dominance in the Sun... Read More →

A pair of Top 25 teams clash in the Lone Star State this weekend, as the 24th-ranked Oregon State Beavers battle the sixth-ranked TCU Horned Frogs at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. The Beavers made a serious run at the Pac-10 title in 2009, but came up just short when they were edged, 37-33, by rival Oregon in their regular-season finale. The loss denied the program its first Rose Bowl appearance since 1964, and the Beavers instead went on to suffer a 44-20 loss to BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl. It was certainly a disappointing ending for Mike Riley’s squad, which finished a promising campaign with a respectable 8-5 ledger. Plenty of talent returns on both sides of the ball in 2010, so expect... Read More →

Shooting for yet another season home opening win under head coach Pat Hill, the Fresno State Bulldogs try to make their mark on Saturday night against the visiting Cincinnati Bearcats at Bulldog Stadium. Under the direction of coach Hill, who incidentally took a pay cut during recent negotiations on his contract, the Bulldogs are a perfect 6-0 when opening a season at home and have won five straight season openers overall. Hill and the Bulldogs have lost four times in season openers, with those four setbacks coming against the likes of Colorado, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Tennessee. In 2009, the team began with a 51-0 rout of UC Davis, but after that the Bulldogs slumped into a three-game slide.... Read More →
