I never thought I would see the day when a visiting team would head to Chris Gilman Stadium in Kingsland, the home of the Camden County Wildcats, and bring more fans than there were in the home stands.
That was the case Friday night when Glynn Academy took the trip and the sea of red filled the visitors section, while on the home side you could not help but notice all the empty seats.

Wreck for Tech?

The first college football Saturday is in the books. A lot of questions have been answered now that games have been played but some new ones have been presented. In the case of Georgia Tech I have to wonder are they in trouble?
The Yellow Jackets played Boston College in Dublin, Ireland. Both teams were terrible last season finishing with identical 3-9 records. The Eagles were winless in ACC play and Tech only won one conference game.
SEC Slow Start

Well, I’m pretty sure that isn’t how the SEC was hoping the first weekend would go.
It wasn’t horrible or anything, but it couldn’t have gone as scripted. In their defense, one of the major reasons everyone was so excited about the match ups to start the college season was that most SEC teams scheduled legit opponents, not schools from the Underwater Basket Weaving conference.
Considering all the hoopla and questions coming into this weekend the one thing I basically learned is that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

The Glynn Academy Red Terrors are not as good as they were last year. That is the main statement heard from Non-Terror fans out of the gate this season after falling too AAA Benedictine.
That almost seems like a distant memory now. After the 24-7 loss the Cadets the Red Terrors have gotten the train back on the tracks.
Dolphins Growing Pains?

The 2016 Dolphins offense is going to take a minute to get going, folks.
It is almost certainly not going to sing in four-part harmony the first time coach Adam Gase gives his unit voice in the Seattle regular-season opener.
The offense is a work in progress, and because the players are mostly young and new to each other and the coach, and his scheme, getting all that to look as if everyone has been together for years is close to impossible.
Evolution of The Running Back

When most think of the running back position, thoughts of the work horse running back toting the ball over and over again likely come to mind.
Names like Jim Brown, OJ Simpson, Archie Griffin, Herschel Walker, and Bo Jackson go down in the annals for college football history.
Deadly Hurricanes?

The Miami Hurricanes might be the best program in the last 30 years. Since 1983 they’ve played for the national championship eight times, winning five. The program has also had low moments being placed on probation more than once.
The Canes went 8-5 last season and coach Al Golden was fired. The record isn’t terrible but the way they lost is what ultimately cost him. He was let go after a 58-0 blow out loss to Clemson at home.
Mark Richt was hired to replace him and return to his alma mater. I believe this was a great hire. Richt was very underappreciated at Georgia. He turned an average program into a perennial contender. UGA has not won a championship since 1980 but their delusional fan base expects to win one every year. I think Richt will instantly turn Miami back into an elite team.
Todd Gurley Break Out Season

It happens every single year. I sit back and get completely immersed in the current season of Hard Knocks, so much so that I inevitably draft two or three players for my fantasy team based solely on the show.
You might as well go ahead and pencil in the Rams’ defense and Tavon Austin as soon to be members of that distinguished club. The one L.A. Player I’d really like to have, and who is primed for a breakout season, is Todd Gurley.
