The Pac 12 wants to get slice of lockout

while developing a couple of my traditional bricks on Auburn and Fiesta Bowl, here's a short entry on the idea they have had since the Pac 12 to take advantage of possible lockout of the NFL .

Given the possibility that the lockout of professional league fans leave on Sunday without football, the Pac 12 has hinted the possibility that parties can contest his lecture that day, as declared Larry Scott, commissioner of the conference. According to Scott is not yet a serious possibility, because it has not been negotiated at any meeting. However, it is something that is in short-term plans, since according to Scott could give a higher profile at national level conference, which has recently expanded to 12 the number of members, following the accession of Utah and Colorado .

More Tressel problems

The soap opera starring coach Buckeyes, Jim Tressel seems endless. Some reports indicate that after knowledge of the illegal featuring 5 of his players, Tressel made contact with a businessman in the town of Terrelle Pryor, the scandal involved the sale of memorabilia, to communicate the case. Ted Sarniak which is the name the man in question, known Pryor since childhood and has been a mentor to him.

I'm not sure the reason Sarinak alert, rather than to the NCAA and college. I imagine that would protect his star, but it can be very expensive. It may seem that this is not just important, but if confirmed, would mean that Tressel lied to NCAA and the University second time. The consequences can be fatal to the renowned trainer who voluntarily increased its sanction of the two parties initials to five, matching his sanction of their five players.

Rumors say that his time in Columbus can come to an end multiply. Some sites indicate a possible interest from the college of Ohio by former coach Gators, Urban Meyer . Right now I prefer to be cautious, although things do not look good.

Spring Football: Independent, Big East and non-BCS

With the five major conferences covered, this is the last entry in reference to spring practices. I know Big East is a BCS conference , but in my point of view not as important as the other five and their level is quite low. This entry

pick six programs that I find most interesting. Surely not agree with me in the election, but you know that everyone likes the colors. In the Big East have chosen UConn as reigning champions, West Virginia and Pittsburgh. Of the non-BCS Boise State are and TCU with Notre Dame as the only independent.

TCU Horned Frogs


Record 2010: 13-0 (MWC Champion).
Bowl 2010: Victoria in Rose Bowl vs. Wisconsin (21-19). Low
important QB Andy Dalton, Jeremy WR Kearley and OT Marcus Cannon. Main
returns: Ed Weasley RB, LB Tanner Brock and LB Tank Carder.
Spring Practices Start: March 5.
Spring Game: April 7 .

Analysis: With only 6 starters back, the Horned Frogs will be difficult to repeat the perfect season they achieved in 2010. The attack is the main question of who will be the QB, after Andy Dalton has captured the title the past four years. Expect a great year of RB Ed Weasley will receive a lot of carries. The defense is good news to regain his two LB's headlines, which are key to the success of the 4-2-5 system of Gary Patterson.

Boise State Broncos


Record 2010: 12-1 (Co-Champions of the MAC).
Bowl 2010: Victory in the Maaco Bowl vs. Utah (26-3). Low

Kellen Moore will continue to lead the team, but will have to face up to its two main targets Titus Young and Austin Pettis OC and has accompanied him throughout his career, Bryan Harsina. But the main architect of the success of the Broncos is Chris Petersen, who is a year in Idaho to continue the great project that has been invented.

Pittsburgh Panthers

To overcome this impasse the Mountaineers been hired as OC and HC from 2012 to Dana Holgorsen that comes from doing wonders Oklahoma State, the position of HC from 2012. With the departure of Noel Devine , Geno Smith becomes the main weapon, after a good 2010. In defense WV if they fell short, getting only 13 points per game, but will face casualties DT Chris Neild , LB JT Thomas and S Sidney Glover and Robert Sands .

UConn Huskies


Record 2010: 8-5 (Big East Champion).

Also lost to Jordan Todman last year rushed for 1,695 yards. The air strike was ranked the 110th in yards per game and also lost his only QB with experience. The defense is another world, returning a total of 9 holders grated unit at high level in 2010 and also the accession of Pasqualoni can add a plus for improvement.

Notre Dame Irish Figthing


2010 Record: 8-5
Bowl 2010: Victoria in the Sun Bowl vs. Miami (33-17). Low
important TE Kyle Rudolph, DT Ian Williams and RB Armando Allen. Main

Dayne Crist was injured in the absence of 4 matches, at which time Tommy Rees took the job and led the Irish to four consecutive victories. The other question is whether the star WR Michael Floyd play again as Irish after being punished for his arrest for DUI. The remaining positions seem quite settled with a total of 17 holders back in South Bend .

Diapers As Punishment

Spring Football: ACC

The ACC takes a few years in the doldrums. Conference Presenter Competition is one of the most intense and unpredictable, since its members are capable of the best and worst. But in big games interconferenciales not seem to match, but in 2010 have improved in bowls with a record of 4-5.

This season there is a clear favorite over the other, although Virginia Tech still seems a step above the rest, with FSU as direct rivals, after a good first year Jimbo Fisher. Also have to be alert to carry out reconstruction Al Golden in Miami under his guidance and if the Hurricanes again be contenders for the title.

This year once again among the favorites, but are very important low. On offense lost its top three playmakers . Logan Thomas emerges as a substitute for Taylor Tyrode the QB position, but have to work hard this spring and that has almost no experience. It is also vital to find a RB in security after Williams marches and Evans.

In 2011 will face downward Ponder has been the Titling QB útlimo 3 years. EJ Manuel, who has been hobbled by injuries the past two years has emerged as his replacement.

Edsall want to repeat the success he had with UConn, those who took victory in the Big East last year. To do so will have two new coordinators. Gary Crowton will take over the attack, after four years at LSU and Todd Bradford of defense, after receiving a promotion from the post of LB coach after the departure of Keith Dudzinski precisely UConn.

North Carolina State Wolfpack


Record 2010: 9-4 (3rd in ACC Atlantic).

Spring Practices Start: March 17.

Spring Game: 16, April.

Analysis: Everything revolves around the decision of Russell Wilson passed definitely playing baseball or continue his career as a Wolfpack QB . If finally, as everything indicates, decides to jump to MLB, the promising, Mike Glennon have to deal with leading the attack, without the two main WR, 2010 Williams and Spencer . In declining defense Nate Irving is critical, because with his 92 tackles, including 22 TFL, was by far the best man in the unit.

Bowl 2010: Defeat Sun Bowl vs. Notre Dame (33-17). Low
important WR Leonard Hankerson, CB Brandon Harris and DE Allen Bailey. Main

Spring Game: April 16 .

Analysis: The Hurricanes face a new season with HC. stage Randy Shannon over and now it's time for Al Golden, who has stopped seeing his character sanction after 6 players without playing the first game for violating internal rules. Jacory Harris has not secured the post holder and the sophomore QB Stephen Morris his heels. The turnovers should be the main aspect to work in the spring. The secondary loses his two CBs headlines, it is especially important downward Brandon Harris.

North Carolina Tar Heels



Record 2010: 8-5 (3 ACC Coastal).
Bowl 2010: Victoria in Music City Bowl vs. Tennessee (30-27, 2OT). Low
important QB TJ Yates, Zack Pianalto TE LB Bruce Carter. Main
returns: OG Johnathan Cooper, WR Dwight Jones and DT Quinton Couplings.
Spring Practices Start: March 16.
Spring Game: April 9 .

Analysis: The Tar Heels were adversely affected by numerous penalties that kept their top stars away from the pitch in 2010. Unusual circumstances that allowed the young to enjoy opportunities that otherwise would not have come, so you have more experience. The main aspect that should improve the running game, after averaging 125 yards per game in 2010. In addition to a QB with no experience, have a running game becomes even more important.

Boston College Eagles


Record 2010: 7-6 (4 th in ACC Atlantic).
Bowl 2010: Defeat Kraft vs Nevada Fight Hunger Bowl (20-13). Low
important LB Mark Herzlich, OT and DT Anthony Castonzo Damika SCAF. Main

Spring Practices Start: March 15.
Spring Game: April 16

Analysis: In 2010, Eagles had one of the worst attacks of the entire NCAA . To improve, they hired Kevin Rogers , which until now was the QB coach Minnesota Vikings in the NFL. Falling leaves Castonzo an important gap in the OL. All eyes will be on the WR Colin Larmond , which returns all of 2010 after being stopped by a knee injury. Defending the news that Luke Kuechly remain in the team is great.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets


Record 2010: 6-7 (4 th in ACC Coastal).
Bowl 2010: Air Force vs. Defeat in Independence Bowl (14-7). Low
important QB Josh Nesbitt, RB Anthony Allen and S Jerrad Tarrant. Main
returns: Omoregie Uzzi OG, LB Steven Sylvester and DE Jason Peters.
Spring Practices Start: March 28.
Spring Game: April 23 .

Analysis: Confronting down its two main stars, who performed to perfection their roles in the Triple Option of Paul Johnson . On the one hand, Joshua Nesbitt will almost certainly be replaced by Tevin Washington already played some games in 2010. While the fight for the B-Back position occupied until now by Anthony Allen is more open Charles Perkins, Richard Watson and David Sims candidates.

Clemson Tigers


Record 2010: 6-7 (5 º ACC Atlantic).
Bowl 2010: Defeat Meineke Bowl vs. South Florida (31-26). Low
important DE Da'Quan Bowers, S DeAndre McDaniels and OT Chris Hairston. Main
returns: RB Andre Ellington, Corica LB and TE Dwayne Allen Hopkins.
Spring Practices Start: March 7.
Spring Game: April 9 .

Analysis: QB Kyle Parker farewell was not expected and 2010 was a nightmare for the Tigers attack , which remained in the caboose of the ACC. Tajh Boyd take up his post in 2011 after showing a good image in the Meineke Bowl which almost led the comeback against USF in the fourth quarter. the spring practices will be a little decaffeinated by the absence of injured RB Ellington , In addition to its main Recruits 5 stars like RB Mike Bellamy , the LBs Anthony Stephon and Tony Stewart and WR Sammy Watkins will not be available until August.

Virginia Cavaliers


Record 2010: 4-8 (5 ACC Coastal) .
Low
important CB Ras-I Dowling, RB Keith Payne and QB Marc Verica. Main
returns: WR Cris Burd and CB Chase Minnifield.
Spring Practices Start: 16, March.

Spring Game: April 2 .

Analysis: The Cavaliers have not been able to find a QB in a long time guarantees and this year with the retirement of Marc Verica , returns as the main workhorse. Entering the spring practices , UVA has two QB's on the roster, Michael Rocco and Ross Metheny, both sophomores and just experience, having launched less than 40 passes between them.

Duke Blue Devils


Record 2010: 3-9 (6 ACC Coastal).
Low
important C Bryan Morgan, LB Abraham Kromah and D Patrick Egboh. Main
returns: WR Conner Brennon and S Matt Daniels.
Spring Practices Start: 16 February.
Spring Game: March 26.

Analysis: Durham In the little importance football and more with Blue Devils coach K in the middle of March Madness . The truth is that spring training have been completed and this Saturday will take place on Spring Game . The defense is the main aspect that should improve after that in 2010 were the 12th team with the most points received an average of 35.4 per game.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons



Record 2010: 3-9 (6 ACC Atlantic).
Low
important Nenon C Russell, LB Hunter Haynes and WR Marshall Williams. Main
returns: RB Josh Harris, DE Kyle Wilber
Spring Practices Start: March 15.
Spring Game: April 16.

Analysis: The main reason for the bad season for the Demon Deacons was the inexperience of most of their players. After a year of testing appears to Tanner Price QB is confirmed as the owner and will be responsible for leading WF in the struggle to return to the successes achieved between 2005 and 2008, when even picked up the conference title . But it's a long way and not easy, so it takes time, something that has plenty Jim Grobbe you need immediate results to justify his salary, the 10 highest in the NCAA .

Spring Football: Big 12 Football Spring

As Texas fan aférrimo of I am, you imagine the rage that makes me put the picture that anticipates these lines, but we must be fair and pay tribute to this champion, even if the Sooners. With the loss of Nebraska and Colorado, the Big 12 (-2) becomes a robin league with no divisions.

In recent years the Big 12 (-2) has been characterized as purely offensive conference with powerful attacks in the passing game. I do not think this will change in 2011 and we can enjoy some of the best QB-WR tandem of all NCAA .



Oklahoma Sooners


Record 2010: 12-2 (1st Big 12 South Champion Big 12).
Bowl 2010: Victoria Fiesta Bowl vs. Connecticut (48-20). Low
important RB DeMarco Murray, DE Jeremy Beal, S Quinton Carter. Main
returns: QB Landry Jones, WR Ryan Broyles and LB Travis Lewis.
Spring Practices Start: March 8.
Spring Game: April 16 .

Analysis: is true that 2010 could have done better, but the Sooners gained experience and planted in 2011 as one of the favorites to everything. On offense recovered to 8 owners, being the low DeMarco Murray the most sensitive. To compensate, they have Roy Finch already showed good qualities freshman. Ryan Broyles and Landry Jones pair can form the determinant of the competition and this spring should strengthen their understanding. In defense the best news is the return of Travis Lewis , while low of DE Jeremy Beal and S Quinton Carter , leave a significant hole in the DL and the secondary.

Oklahoma State Cowboys


2010 Record: 11-2 (2nd Big 12 South).
Bowl 2010: Victoria Alamo Bowl vs. Arizona (36-10). Low
important RB Kendall Hunter, DE Ugo Chinasa and LB Orie Lemon. Main
returns: Brandon Weeden QB, WR Justin Blackmon and S Markell Martin.
Spring Practices Start: March 8.

Spring Game: April 16 .

Analysis: The Cowboys stood before her big break in 2010, a further loss to its neighboring state Sooners them away from the final Conference Presenter. This year we are still aspiring to anything, but will have to take that last step that I take to be among the greats. In attack will have two low life. On one side is that of Kendall Hunter, who fulfilled his role to perfection in an attack corridor air prominently. The other is that of Dana Holgorsen OC in a single year that put the Cowboys the elite. As the Sooners , Mike Gundy will have in their ranks another great QB-WR pairs, which announced in the introduction. Blackmon and Weeden , which will rival high schools in check.

Missouri Tigers


2010 Record: 10-3 (2nd Big 12 North).
Bowl 2010: Defeat Insight Bowl vs. Iowa (27-24). Low
important QB Blaine Gabbert, C Tim Barnes and Aldon Smith OLB. Main
returns: WR TJ Moe, Madison Brad and Jacquie Smith.
Spring Practices Start: March 8.
Spring Game: April 16 .

Analysis: The Tigers need to find a QB after the departure of Blaine Gabbert the NFL . Among the candidates is his brother Tyler that although the size has not Blaine may fit better Pinkel attack. To get to the post will have to contend with James Franklin, a RS freshman who has excited the whole nation Tiger. Defensively downward Aldon Smith is very hard, but the couple ends forming Madison Smith and can earn many dividends to the team.

Texas A & M Aggies


2010 Record: 9-4 (3rd Big 12 South).
Bowl 2010: Cotton Bowl Defeat vs LSU (41-24). Low
important QB Jerrod Johnson, LB / DE LB Von Miller and Michael Hodges. Main
returns: RB Cyrus Gray, RB Christine Michael and WR Jeff Fuller.
Spring Practices Start: 22 March.
Spring Game: March 16.

Analysis: Last season was something strange is that despite the huge disappointment at the poor season Jerrod Johnson, the Aggies gained access to heights that for a long time since we have arrived in College Station . The WR-turned-QB Ryan Tannehill took the starting job in recent games and more than fulfilled. In the running game and Michael Gray make an excellent one and two most wanted many for himself. Its weakness was the defense against the pass, luck is that all DB's headlines in 2010 will be on the team this season.

Baylor Bears


Record 2010: 7-6 (4 º Big 12 South).
Bowl 2010: Defeat Texas Bowl vs. Illinois (38-14). Low
important RB Jay Finley, Danny Watkins OT and DT Phil Taylor. Main
returns: QB Robert Griffin, Kendall Wright and WR WR Josh Gordon.
Spring Practices Start: 28 February.
Spring Game: April 2 .

Analysis: The Bears had a good season in 2010, met expectations, although still far from competing with the big boys. Robert Griffin afresh with his entire receiving corps, but the march of Finley makes RB needs to find a guarantee in the spring. In the defense will have Phil Bennett as the new coordinator, who has much work ahead to improve a unit that was a handicap to get better results.

Texas Tech Red Raiders


2010 Record: 8-5 (5th Big 12 South).
Bowl 2010: Victoria Ticketcity Bowl vs Northwestern (45-38). Low
important QB Taylor Potts, RB Baron Batch and WR Lyle Leong. Main
returns: RB Eric Stephens, OG OT Leony Edwards and Mickey Okafor.
Spring Home Practices: 20 February.
Spring Game: March 26.

Analysis: The Red Raiders were the early birds of all NCAA and this Saturday will put an end to the spring practices. The main question is how to replace QB Taylor Potts . Seth Doeg partly advantage of being the most experienced of all who are part of the roster. He certainly left the impression that Mike Leach in the attack of Lubbock will again be one of the most spectacular air strikes and effective, despite low its two main recipients in 2010, Lyle Leong and Detron Lewis .

Kansas State Wildcats


Record 2010: 7-6 (3 º Big 12 North).
Bowl 2010: Defeat Pinstripe Bowl vs. Syracuse (36-34). Low
important RB Daniel Thomas, QB Carson Coffman and DE Antonio Felder. Main
returns: Clyde Aufner OT, TE and LB Travis Tannahill Alex Hřebeč.
Spring Practices Start: April 6.
Spring Game: April 30 .

Analysis: star RB Daniel Thomas will be replaced by Bryce Brown, who once was the best prospect coming out of HS and will be eligible after spending a year in white on the transfer from Tennessee. If it responds to the expectations created around the figure, the Wildcats not have to worry about. For the QB position, ownership will be among Collin Klein, who has already played a match in 2010 by Coffman injury, and JUCO Justin Tuggle who was the substitute Cam Newton High School in Blinn College Texas of .

Iowa State Cyclones


Record 2010: 5-7 (5th in Big 12 North). Low
important QB Austin Arnaud, RB Alexander Robinson and S David Sims. Main
returns: WR Darius Dark , OT Kelechi Osemele and LB Jake Knott.
Spring Practices Start: 22 March.

Spring Game: April 16 .

Analysis: The Cyclones are the great unknown of the Big 12 . Nobody has them yet in 2010 were one win away from being bowl eligible for . His attack was predictable and ranked the 97 th in passing yards per game. The fight for the QB position holder is identical to K-State with Jerome Tiller as a man with more experience under the system of HC Paul Rhodes and Steele Jantz proviniente as the JUCO transfer.

Texas Longhorns



Record 2010: 5-7 (6th in Big 12 South). Low
important DE Sam Acho, CB Aaron Williams and OG Michael Huey. Main
returns: WR Mike Davis, LB Emmanuel Acho and DT Kheeston Randall.
Spring Practices Start: 24 February.
Spring Game: April 3 .

Analysis: The Longhorns went from being national finalists in 2009 to a 5-7 team in 2010. Never a team had fallen so low. After such a disastrous season, Mack Brown has been a radical change to its staff in recruitment of young Harsina Bryan and Manny Diaz as OC and DC respectively. The main objective of the spring is that the players learn the new systems. Although not lose anyone of vital importance in attack all positions are open, including the QB. Garrett Gilbert could lose his job before the young Connor Wood.

Kansas Jayhawks


Record 2010: 3-9 (6th in Big 12 North). Low
important OF Jake Lapta, OT Brad Throston and WR Johnathan Wilson. Main
returns: RB Toben Opurum, TE Tim Biere and DT John Williams.
Spring Practices Start: April 1.
Spring Game: April 30 .

Analysis: After the controversy dismissal Mark Mangino, the Jayhawks suffered a radical downturn. Nothing worked. Despite which Turner Gill still has the benefit of the doubt, having been the architect of Buffalo transform a small program in the MAC to win the conference. As with most programs, Jayhawks need to find a QB this spring. The signee 2011 and early enrollee , Brock Berlund could be done with the job from day one.

: Pac 12

same I mentioned in the edition of the Big Ten worth to the brand new Pac-12, with the difference that these themselves have changed the name, but will not be official until July. Incorporating Utah and Colorado causes the division of the conference in North and South. The conference champion will leave the winner of the final played between the champions of the divisions.

In my opinion 2010 was a good year for this conference, which was conspicuous by its competitiveness. I expect nothing less this season, in which most star players back for another year. All eyes will be on Andrew Luck and LaMichael James , candidates for everything.







Oregon Ducks


Record 2010: 12-1 (1st Pac 10, National Runner)
Bowl 2010 : Defeat in the National Championship Game vs. Auburn (22-19). Low
important WR Jeff Maehl, LB Casey Matthews and DE Brandon Blair. Main
returns: LaMichael James RB, QB Darron Thomas and CB Cliff Harris.
Spring Practices Start: March 28.
Spring Game: April 30 .

Analysis: With the return of James LaMichael fans of the Ducks have plenty to cheer. Every indication that the attack will remain one of the most explosive of the competition. The main concern should be to find a man who can fill the gap left by the departure of Jeff Maehl , the main target in the air. The defense lost 5 of their starters in the front seven, being remarkable losses in the DL where few players have experienced.

Stanford Cardinal


Record 2010: 12-1 (2nd Pac-10)
Bowl 2010: Victoria Orange Bowl vs. Virginia Tech (40-12). Low
important FB / LB Owen Marecic, LB Thomas Keiser, and DT Sione Foua. Main
returns: QB Andrew Luck, Johnathan Martin and SS OT Delano Howell.
Spring Practices Start: 21 February.
Spring Game: April 9 .

Analysis: HC With the departure of Jim Harbaugh to the NFL, David Shaw will be responsible for directing the ship. Shaw knows very well the program and was the OC in recent seasons. It will also have the invaluable assistance of the mega star Andrew Luck, who decided to give pumpkins to the professionals, when all placed him as # 1 in the Draft. In addition to the QB, only return 11 starters compared to 2010. The main gap is in the OL, having been one of the best units of all the NCAA last year.

Utah Utes



Record 2010: 10-3 (2nd MWC).
Bowl 2010: Defeat Maaco Las Vegas Bowl vs. Boise State (26-3). Low
important CB Brandon Burton, C Zane Taylor and RB Matt Asiata. Main
returns: QB Jordan Wynn, OT Tony Bergstrom and LB Chaz Walker.
Spring Practices Start: March 8.
Spring Game: April 16 .

Analysis: Norm Chow , architect of USC attack in years Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart , give a sharp turn to the Utes' offense , from the spread for a more pro, and so attempting to assault Pac 12 in its first year. The problem is that your QB holder Jordan Wynn can not spring training after undergoing surgery for a shoulder injury, so Griff Robles have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the attack and thus gain the starting job. The secondary is the unit where most have to work this spring, low Burton, his best man is very important and will have to improve given the quality of the attacks they will face this year. This is not MWC.

USC Trojans


2010 Record: 8-5 (3rd Pac 10). Low
important OT Tyron Smith, DT Jurrell Hasey and RB Allen Bradford. Main
returns: QB Matt Barkley, WR Robert Woods and LB Chris Galippo.
Spring Practices Start: 22 March.
Spring Game: April 23 .

Analysis: not wait to see the Trojans in the playoffs, the penalty hanging over them stops them. But that does not mean that USC is not a clear rise after the bad 2009. In 2010, Matt Barkley left samples of what is capable. However, with heavy casualties on the OL, which require people with little experience demonstrate the ability to play at this level. The defense will be much improved after a poor 2010, which allowed 26 points per game and were the worst in the conference to defend the pass. For this we have the return of LB Chris Galippo .

Washington Huskies


Record 2010: 7-6 (4 º Pac-10).
Bowl 2010: Victoria Holiday Bowl vs. Nebraska (19-7). Low
important QB Jake Locker, Mason Foster, LB and S Nate Williams. Main
returns: WR Jermaine Kearse, Chris Polk RB and DE Everrette Thompson.
Home Spring Practices: 29 March.
Spring Game: April 30 .

Analysis: Supplementing a Jake Locker will be no easy task for the Huskies . Locker was also the star in the field, the standard of the program. To take his place, candidates are Keith and Nick Price Montana. Price part with a slight advantage to know the system after being the backup Locker in 2010, but Montana it will not be easy after having received the SB in his first year in College . Defensively the Huskies will with the return of 8 owners. Two of the three lowest are in the LB position.

Arizona Wildcats


Record 2010: 7-6 (5 º Pac-10).
Bowl 2010: Defeat Alamo Bowl vs. Oklahoma State (34-10). Low
important LB Brooks Reed, Ricky Elmore and OT Adam Grant.
Main returns: QB Nick Foles , WR and LB Paul Juron Criner Vassalho.
Spring Practices Start: March 21.
Spring Game: April 16 .

Analysis: Only 4 owners attack again. The OL has to be reconstructed in full, having lost 4 of his 5 regular starters. By contrast the good news is that Nick Foles is back and will feature two main targets, and Douglas Criner also the transfer of Texas 2010, Dan Buckner be eligible. The defense has the problem of inexperience on the DL, all eyes will be on whether the Samoan Aiulua responds Fanene high expectations.

Low
important DT Lawrence Guy. Main
returns: QB Steven Threet , LB and CB Omar Vontaze Burfict Vold.
Spring Practices Start: 22 March.
Spring Game: April 23 .

Analysis: preseason The Sun Devils begins with the big question of who owns the QB position. On one side is Steven Threet, who started most games of 2010 but whose performance left much to be desired, or junior Bruck Osweiler who played the last two games which represented victories for ASU .

Oregon State Beavers


Record 2010: 5-7 (7th in Pac-10).
Low
important RB Jacquizz Rodgers, DT Stephen Paea and C Alex Linnekohl. Main
returns: WR James Rodgers, QB Ryan Katz and CB Brandon Hardin.
Spring Practices Start: March 28.
Spring Game: April 30 .

Analysis: Surprised by the early departure of RB Jacquizz Rodgers , especially after the NCAA granted him a 6th year of eligibility to his brother James . Together could have formed a formidable attack. The search for a reliable RB is the main issue that must respond Beavers this spring. On the contrary, it is expected that Katz who had a pretty decent freshman year, they take the equipment back. The interior of the DL, it loses its two owners.

California Golden Bears


Record 2010: 5-7 (8 Pac-10).
Low
important DE Cameron Jordan, RB Shane Veer and QB Kevin Riley.
Main returns: OT Mitchell Schwartz, Mychal Kendricks LB and P Bryan Anger.
Spring Practices Start: March 29. Spring Final
Practices: April 30.

Analysis: The Golden Bears Spring Game will not have, something strange. With the departure of Riley the QB position is really an orphan, no one seems to benefit from a total of five players start on equal terms. The problem is that neither will Vereen to bear the brunt of the attack. In defense need to find headlines in almost every position. It is expected that 2011 will be a transition year for Cal .

UCLA Bruins


Record 2010: 4-8 (9 Pac-10).
Low
important LB Akeem Ayers, S Rahim Moore and K Kai Forbatha. Main
returns: RB Johnathan Franklin, OT Mike Harris and LB Sean Westgate.
Spring Practices Start: March 29.
Spring Game: April 23 .

Analysis: La contratación de Mike Johnson como nuevo OC, debe otorgar a los Bruins la identidad ofensiva que les faltaba, tras completar un pobre 2010, en el que rankearon en el puesto 104º tras promediar poco más de 20 puntos por encuentro. Para conseguir mejorar tendrán de vuelta al poderoso RB Johnathan Franklin quien el año pasado corrió para 1.127 yardas, sin embargo el juego aéreo es un problema. Defensivamente también contarán con un nuevo coordinador en la figura de Joe Tressey . Por su parte el HC Rick Neuheisel necesitará algo más que declaraciones polémicas para consevar su puesto.

Colorado Buffaloes


Record 2010: 5-7 (5th in the Big 12 North)
Low important OT Nate Solder, CB Jimmy Smith and CB Jalil Brown. ;
Principales returns: RB Rodney Stewart, DE Josh Cartigan and QB Tyler Hansen.
Spring Practices Start: 11 March.
Spring Game: April 9 .

Analysis: New conference, new coach. The nightmare of Dan Hawkins over for the Buffaloes. The spotlight should be on the system ADAPTOR the new man in charge, John Embree . The calendar does not accompany in what must be a transition year, so do not expect great things from CU in 2011.

Washington State Cougars


Record 2010: 2-10 (10th Pac-10). Low
important P Reid Forrest, C Zach Williams and DE Kevin Kooyman. Main
returns: QB Jeff Tuel Marqess and WR Wilson.
Spring Practices Start: March 7.

Spring Game: April 16 .

Analysis: The miserable season of Cougars made his QB Jeff Tuel go unnoticed, but given little support in the run (111 °) and little protection from the OL that allowed a total of 51 sacks, his 2,780 yards and 18 TD's are some memorable statistics. The defense needs to improve in all aspects after having been 10 points No team that received an average of 35.8 per game.
