ESPNU will have over 10 hours of coverage alone throughout the day and over a dozen players will announce the school of their choice live on national television.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZO5j0IHDSdg After starting last season as the preseason #1, it's been all downhill for Lane Kiffin and his USC Trojans. SC finished last year 7-6 with a Sun Bowl loss to Georgia Tech and this year hasn't gone much better. The Trojans are 2-1 with an embarrassing home loss to Washington State already this season. […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=CWqOD2iheFg Arkansas interim John L. Smith has had a rough go of it so far in Fayetteville since taking over from the freewheeling Bobby Petrino. His Top 10 preseason team has fallen to 1-3 with home losses to Louisiana-Monroe and Rutgers bookending a nice 52-0 shellacking at the hands of #1 Alabama. The John L. […]
