ACC’s Heisman Chances look a little slim for 2018
If sportsbettingdime.com’s early 2018 Heisman Trophy odds are to be believed, next year won’t see the third ACC winner in the last six years. FSU’s Jameis Winston and Louisville’s Lamar Jackson won the award in 2013 and 2016, respectively, but heading into 2018, the top ACC candidate is Clemson’s senior QB, Kelly Bryant, at 25/1, …

The nightmare week for Georgia Tech fans : Roll Tide!

I’ve live in Georgia, and during normal times, it’s practically unbearable how much coverage the Bulldogs get in the state. They get many of the best HS players, sidewalk fans come out of no where. Even …

Alabama beats Clemson, but Tigers built for multiple playoff runs.
The rubber match between Alabama and Clemson turned into semi-mismatch Monday night. While Clemson’s defense basically gave a heroic effort limiting Alabama to 17 points despite the Tide starting the majority of their drives near midfield, the Tiger offense was a trainwreck. From the gameplan that started too conservative and was a mess throughout, to …
