18S Film Room: Will Grant Chesnut Open Up the Navy Passing Game?

Brian Newberry is the new head coach at Navy after being the defensive coordinator for the Middies since 2019.

How Did This Happen, Volume 18: Frank Missed the Three-Peat

Georgia is going for 3 straight National Championships this fall, a chance to be the only team in modern history to pull off the feat. Officially (a definition that is very loosely defined in the history of college football) only 1 team has won 3 straight titles, Minnesota from 1934 through 1936. Many other programs [...]

2 GERAD 2 FURIOUS

Marcus Freeman may very well benefit from an explosive, difficult to defend offense in his second turn at the helm. By keeping it in the family and tabbing Gerad Parker as OC, Coach Freeman may have found the perfect driver for a neon-colored, nitrous-boosted, titanium reinforced 2023 ND Offense, […]
