Coming Thursday, comments will look different. Hey everyone. I’m Beth, and I oversee all of our NCAA communities.
This Thursday will be a big day for our community: we’re moving our comments to a brand new platform, developed especially for SB Nation. A select few of our NCAA communities will be moving to the new platform, and I’m excited about the change.
Some of you may already be familiar with this new platform as it rolled out to our NFL comm...

These two Trojans will have the world watching them this season. We’re not even a month out from the 2021 NFL draft but analysts and fans alike haven’t wasted anytime in beginning to look towards next year’s crop of prospects.
The Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling recently came out with a new 2022 mock draft and among those players selected in the first round are a pair of Trojans in quarterback Kedon Slovis and defensive end Drake Jackson.
Slovis is th...

Bynum was the only Bear selected in the 2021 NFL Draft The 2021 NFL Draft didn’t hear quite as many California Golden Bears as any fan may have hoped, but that wasn’t that big of a surprise for any of those who watched the team the past few seasons. With the amount of talent they’ve produced into the league, mainly from the defensive side of the ball and in the secondary, it’s actually quite amazing they can keep producing top-notch players in such a short amou...

Adebo landed with the New Orleans Saints in the third-round of the 2021 NFL Draft The Stanford Cardinal were represented very well in the 2021 NFL Draft with Walker Little hearing his name first. Former QB Davis Mills happened to go second after just one shortened year as the starter while 2018’s “lock for first-round pick” Paulson Adebo landed in the third round to the New Orleans Saints .
Adebo is absolutely as talented as the entire crop of cornerbac...

Odighizuwa could absolutely see some serious time in 2021 The UCLA Bruins weren’t as prominent during last month’s 2021 NFL Draft as maybe they had been in previous years, but with Osa Odighizuwa’s selection to the Dallas Cowboys in the third round, Odighizuwa could be in line early to make an impact during his rookie season.
Odighizuwa was selected with the 75th pick overall, the 11th pick of the third round by Dallas. He was the first Bruin to be selec...

The Trojans could have two top-10 picks in next year’s NFL Draft. The USC Trojans only had one first-round selection in this year’s NFL Draft . Offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker was picked 14th overall by the New York Jets and will play alongside fellow rookie Zach Wilson.
We could see a couple of Trojans picked ahead of where Vera-Tucker was this year in the 2022 NFL Draft.

I am playing catch-up with some recently released Topps Now cards. First, there are two Dodger cards available right now, following their sweep of the Giants yesterday.

First, Mookie Betts recorded his 1,000th career hit during the first game of yesterdays doubleheader. Check out the Topps Now card created by Topps above and bel...

Hey baseball fans! The NFL recently opened discussions about changing the name of the Washington Redskins to something more appropriate. This has prompted the MLB to consider the Cleveland Indians, who got rid of their red-faced Native American mascot and logo, Chief Wahoo, in 2018 (on Columbus Day, of all days). The Redskins moniker is definitely worse than Cleveland's, but it still begs the question: if the Indians change their name, to what will it be changed? I'll be proposing five of thes...

Welcome back!
I’ll make this brief: you’re all doing great, with — at the time of posting this, $4,320 raised to support the efforts of Personal Counseling Services to provide mental health services to underserved communities in Southern Indiana.
And we have a new leader!
Some intrepid Person of Michigan has donated $403 to the campaign. The fundraising website doesn’t display cents, unfortunately, but “Brady Hoke’s Revenge! Go Blue” makes me suspect it’s a donation of $403.40, in rememb...

Cutting edge defensive coordinators like Brent Venables have been building their defenses around mobile hybrids that can relocate to wherever offenses try to create space and run/pass conflicts with hybrid tight ends. The defining feature of a given offense tends to be what they do at the inside receiver positions. Everyone plays skill athletes on the perimeter that are aiming to beat cornerbacks 1-on-1 in space when they get the opportunity, even if differ...

Kevin Steele broke against type and tried to utilize a few different tricks, including one borrowed from Bill Belichik, to bust up Joe Moorhead’s option offense at Mississippi State. Instead Nick Fitzgerald ran wild and the option guru came out ahead. When Joe Moorhead first arrived at Penn State in 2016 after a nice four-year run at Fordham at the FCS level, the big breakthrough he brought to the Lions was in the vertical passing game. Penn State loved going de...
