And my 8-5 expectations for the Wolverines are out the window now that Woolfolk is out for the season.

He was the biggest leader on the team this off-season and our defensive backfield will now probably be the worst I've ever seen in AA (the depth is atrocious

). 

Cullen Christian is gonna have to have a Marlin Jackson-like freshman year.

He wants to play RB even though everybody and their moms agree that his future is at LB. Once you get to scoring those TD's your head swells up x's three.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – You often hear of weight room warriors that never make the transition to the playing field or average athletes that shine under the bright lights. Bruce Carter is one of those few individuals that excels in both areas and has built a ridiculous resume along the way.
[/td][/tr][tr][td]
Many years from now, Carter’s grandchildren will have plenty of material available to generate an intriguing debate concerning the abilities of their grandfather. What’s more impressive – Carter’s string of four straight blocked kicks in ’08, an unprecedented feat in modern FBS history, or his 211.5 power quotient in the weight room, thanks to a 440-pound bench, 405-pound power clean, 600-pound squat, 37 ½-inch vertical jump, 10-2 broad jump, and a 4.39 40-yard dash?
Go ahead and read that last sentence one more time, just to let those statistics soak in.

No wonder Mel Kiper ranks the 6-foot-3, 238-pounder as the No. 1 senior outside linebacker prospect in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Carter earned second-team All-ACC honors last season after posting 65 tackles, 7.5 tackles for losses, two sacks and one interception return for a touchdown. The Havelock, N.C. native was open during his freshman season about making plays simply on athleticism and instinct as conquering the playbook was still a monster task.

He has long since locked onto the concepts that are a trademark of a Butch Davis defense, thinking more about the hazards involved in a certain situation instead of just running to the ball. Second-year linebackers coach Art Kaufman has also opened Carter’s eyes to the intrinsic value of details.

“When Art first came in, it was kind of hard to get used to him because we were used to [Tommy] Thigpen,

I don't understand how some of you guys think that UM secondary is going to be worse than last year...

Although completely unproven in games, the safeties are going to be better.

Corner depth is actually better than last year... the numbers and talent on the roster is by and far better than where we were at with this all last year.  D-War was injured and didn't care enough about anything to be better than garbage (tooo much hype!).  Woolfolk wasn't spectacular either last year.  Before Woolfolk went down I would have said that the secondary was much improved over last year.  Now... probably about the same, maybe a freshman will emerge, but can't really count on it.  JT Floyd will be fine and the depth will take care of the over spot for now.

We'll see when they take the field, but the front uhhhhh 6 or 5 (how ever you choose to view it) will be improved as a unit and we can still expect a D will be better than last year.  The sky is not falling yet.  In and out...

[h1]Sources: BYU closer to independence[/h1]

http://search.espn.go.com/andy-katz/

Brigham Young is moving closer to leaving the Mountain West Conference, becoming a football independent and re-joining the Western Athletic Conference in all other sports by a Sept. 1 deadline to withdraw from the MWC for the 2011 season, multiple sources said Wednesday.

"I'm not sure how it could stop now unless BYU gets nervous," one source with knowledge of the situation said.

The Cougars have been exploring the possibility since in-state rival Utah left the Mountain West for the Pac-10 earlier this summer.

[h4]If You Leave Me Now...[/h4]
If BYU becomes the Football Bowl Subdivision's fourth independent, what happens to the Mountain West's quest for an automatic BCS bid? Andrea Adelson lays out the potential ramifications. Blog

BYU never received an invitation from the Big 12 to replace Colorado, as the Big 12 decided to stay at 10 members after losing the Buffaloes to the Pac-10 and Nebraska to the Big Ten.

According to sources, BYU still would need approval from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which owns the school, to make the change.

In an effort to keep BYU in the Mountain West -- a necessity to keep alive its pursuit of an automatic qualifying spot in the BCS -- the conference is considering all avenues, one source told ESPN's Joe Schad Wednesday.

This includes possible concessions to BYU on television rights, much the same way the Big 12 made concessions to Texas, and exploring all of its own television partner options.

BYU's possible move to independent status, sources said Wednesday, is not contingent upon the school getting a seat at the BCS table like football independent Notre Dame. Furthermore, BYU is aware that it might not be afforded the same status as Notre Dame in the BCS.

BCS spokesperson Bill Hancock said in an e-mail to ESPN.com that the commissioners and presidents of the BCS-member schools would "thoughtfully consider any request that comes in. Every school is eligible to be considered by a bowl for at-large selection if it is ranked in the top 14."

The payout for any team selected at-large this year will be $6 million, Hancock said.

Hancock told Schad on Wednesday that he has spoken with BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe. Hancock said that "it's too soon to speculate" as to what decision the BCS presidents and chancellors would make.

Notre Dame automatically qualifies for a BCS spot if it finishes in the top eight in the final BCS rankings and has nine wins. But fellow independents Navy and Army do not have similar provisions, as each school would have to finish in the top two to reach automatic qualifying status.

Notre Dame automatically qualified for the BCS in 2006 and was an at-large selection in 2001 and 2007.

Among the factors BCS presidents and chancellors might consider regarding BYU are the tradition and value of Notre Dame to the BCS relative to any other independent that might leave its conference. Specific rules have not been written in BCS materials regarding a process by which a school that claims independence could earn special concessions.

As an independent, BYU would have a chance to make its own national schedule and qualify for a BCS bowl. If that occurred, the school would keep its share of bowl money, rather than split bowl revenue with the rest of its conference. That's an enticing proposition for the school.

The WAC, according to sources, has assured BYU that it will have a soft landing for all of its other sports, similar to the arrangement Notre Dame enjoys with the Big East, where it competes in all sports except football.

BYU would play four to six WAC programs in football every season, according to sources. The Cougars already play in-state rival and WAC member Utah State every season.

BYU's football team went undefeated (13-0) and was ranked No. 1 by The Associated Press in 1984 as a member of the WAC.

Landing BYU for men's basketball would be a major coup for the WAC, considering the Cougars have been to the NCAA tournament 25 times. BYU won 12 WAC titles during its run in the conference and plays in the 22,700-seat Marriott Center.

While BYU considers leaving the Mountain West, WAC members Fresno State and Nevada were approached by a Mountain West representative Tuesday about an invitation to the league, according to a source.

A source told Schad that Houston and UTEP also have been studied as possible additions to the MWC.

However, if a WAC school decides to go to the MWC, it will come at the expense of a costly buyout.

Once Boise State left, the remaining WAC members -- Fresno State, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, San Jose State, Hawaii, Idahos, Nevada and Utah State -- signed a $5 million buyout agreement that would be assessed to any member that left the conference within the next five years. The schools took that move to keep other members from following the Broncos to the Mountain West.

BYU, which would like to become the Notre Dame of the West, is seeking a separate television agreement for its football program. Notre Dame currently has a football deal with NBC.

According to independent multiple sources, BYU is in discussion with ESPN for its football rights. ESPN already has an agreement with the WAC to televise football and basketball.

BYU has its own national television network, BYU-TV, which is available on major satellite networks. BYU-TV is going to HD, and with the wide reach of the Mormon church, the Cougars could build national appeal, as Catholic-based Notre Dame has.

WAC commissioner Karl Benson said earlier this summer that the league "would give consideration to" taking back BYU in all other sports, were the Cougars to go independent for football. Benson declined to comment on this story.

BYU previously has considered going independent. But at that time, the option of being a football independent came with being independent in all other sports, making scheduling much more difficult. In this case, BYU's other sports would be protected by membership in the WAC.

I really believe he is using UGA as a hat on the table---trying to pump up the excitement with his commitment. Insiders believe this is a done deal to FSU. We will see soon
 
^ Wilder was on campus this weekend.

If I was a UGA fan, I'd be kinda hoping that Wilder went elsewhere because that can only increase your chances w/ Crowell.
 
Wilder is going to be Felipe Lopez of college football.
beast in HS cus he simply far more athletic, stronger than everyone else at this level.
but once the playing field evens out...
smh.gif


Hope he succeeds but I dont see it.

Good Luck Noles.

I heard that UGA was trying to sell them both on being the next two headed monster at UGA and splitting carries.  Its not like they are QBs they can both get carries.
 
But what about Ealey & King? There both coming back next season unless one has a monster year and leaves early. You'll have 4 RB's & all who are capable to be the lead man
