0 of 9 Former Georgia CB Tyrique StevensonMichael Woods/Associated Press The 2021 college football season will go down in history as the Year of the Transfer. Because the 2020-21 academic year did not count against anyone's eligibility clock and because the NCAA finally approved the one-time free transfer proposal (undergraduates aren't required to sit out for a year if it's their first time transferring), transfers are taking place en masse. The vast majority of those transfers will be either inconsequential or only mildly consequential, but a handful could make a College Football Playoff-al...

Fill in the blank: football is a game of _____. If the cliché-industrial complex has taken over your brain, you went with “inches”. If you’re more bellicose, you might’ve gone with “war” or something similar.

Now, with Emory Jones taking over, the Gators will likely see and offensive shift toward the run. After taking a backseat in 2020, the running backs are ready to get more involved.

March 17, 2021 After Jachai Polite and Jonathan Greenard threatened school records for sacks and tackles-for-loss in 2018 and 2019, the expectation was that there would be a smooth transition at BUCK in 2020. After all, former five-star prospect Brenton Cox transferred into Florida in the fall of 2019 and had been groomed to take over the position. He has everything you could want in a weakside defensive end/outside linebacker: length, strength, explosiveness and a hunger to prove people wrong after his career at Georgia ended just as it was getting started. However, it didn’t play out that...
