No need to fear; I am here.(COLLEGE FOOTBALL)
When I was young, we used to play the If I Were ... game. If I Were ... Underdog, I'd have more than one place to hide my special vitamin pill and I'd take it before Simon Bar Sinister knocked me silly and had Sweet Polly Purebred strapped to the railroad tracks.
So in the spirit of the humble, lovable Shoeshine Boy, If I Were ... ... Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, I'd realize that I had Herschel Walker in my backfield. I'm all for using some spread principles here and there as a changeup. But when you have a tailback with Adrian Peterson's size, speed and vision, stop fooling around with misdirection garbage, put a powerful lead-blocking fullback in front of him and hand away.
... a Notre Dame junkie, I'd be more than a little concerned about that season opener at Georgia Tech. The Irish don't have a corner with the speed and physical attitude to match up with Tech wideout Calvin Johnson, and it's not going to matter whether he's double-teamed. And another thing: Erratic but talented senior quarterback Reggie Ball could have a huge game.
... Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer, I'd sell my coaching soul to win that first game against a very good Cal team. Momentum--good or bad--is contagious.
... a betting man, I'd lay a few sawbucks down on Clemson's winning the ACC--and maybe much more. Quarterback Will Proctor is a first-year starter but also a fifth-year senior who will play with poise. The Tigers play at Boston College and Florida State in the second and third weeks of the season. Split those and they'll win the Atlantic Division. Win both and they'll be in the desert in January.
... still betting, I'd take a look at Arizona. The Cats will scare the bejesus out of LSU in Week 2--and eventually win eight games.
... the engraver for the Heisman Trophy, I'd get out the Bush template for one more run. Louisville is not going to lose, and ubertalented 250-pound tailback Mike Bush is in the best shape of his career.
