  03/30/20 - *Penei Sewell, Jr/2021, Oregon, 6-5, 331 (DS#1 OT) + More +

  Rece Davis is "more optimistic" than his ESPN colleague about the 2020 college football season in terms of the coronavirus pandemic. Last week, "GameDay" analyst Kirk Herbstreit made headlines when he questioned whether there would be a college football season in the wake of COVID-19. On Monday, Davis joined "First Take" and was asked about Herbstreit's opinion. "I'm far more optimistic and more hopeful than Kirk's quote there at this point," Davis said Monday. "I just think that's a little bit premature at this juncture while offering the caveat that there is so much unknown out there. Kirk's right based on everything I've read in terms of medical experts, in terms of the vaccine. I'm hopeful and optimistic that with so many people working on this that we're going to have, at least, some kind of treatment, some type of break over the next several weeks that will, perhaps, make it far more feasible to have football. At this point, I'm far more optimistic. Might there be adjustments in the schedule? Might things change a little bit in terms of how the business is conducted? Sure."

Last week, Herbstreit said he would be "shocked" if there would be football this fall. "I'll be shocked if we have NFL football this fall, if we have college football. I'll be so surprised if that happens," Herbstreit said. "Just because from what I understand, people that I listen to, you're 12 to 18 months from a (coronavirus) vaccine. I don't know how you let these guys go into locker rooms and let stadiums be filled up and how you can play ball. I just don't know how you can do it with the optics of it." - Birmingham News

  03/21/20 - Bo Nix, rSr/2024, Oregon, 6-2, 214 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  The cancelation of the remainder of spring sports and an uncertain timeline for a return to competition amid the coronavirus pandemic isn't stopping Auburn from moving forward with its plans for a standalone football facility. "Right now we are full steam ahead on the football facility," athletics director Allen Greene said Friday during a conference call with reporters. "Obviously, as things change on our campus and in our country and around the world, we will audible as we see fit, but we have been given the directive to move forward full steam ahead." Auburn's Board of Trustees in September approved the initiation of the program's "Football Performance Center" project, and during an emergency meeting in October, the board voted to approve the architects for the project, selecting the architecture firms of Goodwyn, Mills, Cawood of Montgomery and HOK Architects of Kansas City, Mo. - Birmingham News

  03/07/20 - Dillon Gabriel, rSr/2025, Oregon, 5-11, 205 (DS#12 QB) + More +

  UCF quarterback Dillon Gabriel will remain on campus while his classmates enjoy spring break next week. He wouldn't have it any other way. Instead of hitting the beach or going to parties, Gabriel's days will consist of a grind of workouts and film room sessions. Because in the end, an undefeated football season is worth more to the sophomore than a few days off. Why the relentless pursuit of perfection? "Obviously, not doing what I wanted, which is going undefeated," Gabriel said when asked why he felt the need to push himself during the spring. "That was our goal. We didn't meet that and when you don't meet a goal, you're disappointed.

"Personally, I'm going to do whatever it takes to get back to where we should be." UCF posted a 10-3 record in 2019, the program's third consecutive double-digit win season, but the three losses were the most since the 2016 campaign. Gabriel, who took over the starting job in Week 2, set a school record for passing yards in a season by a freshman with 3,653 yards. His 29 touchdown passes were the third-most in a season by a Knights quarterback and his passer rating (156.92) was the fifth-best in school history. But there were growing pains for the true freshman. All seven of Gabriel's interceptions took place during the team's three losses: Pittsburgh (2), Cincinnati (3) and Tulsa (2). - Orlando Sentinel

  03/04/20 - Bo Nix, rSr/2024, Oregon, 6-2, 214 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  Nix had a solid freshman season, setting Auburn freshman records for completions, passing yards, touchdowns and consecutive pass attempts without an interception (191 in a row to close the season) while earning the SEC's top rookie honor, but his first year on the field also left plenty to be desired. Nix's completion percentage (57.6 percent) was 10th among 12 qualifying SEC passers last season, while his 6.7 yards per pass attempt ranked ninth, as did his 125.03 passer rating. Among freshman quarterbacks nationally who appeared in at least half of their team's games, Nix tied for eighth in touchdowns, was 13th in completion rate, sixth in passing yards, tied for 13th in yards per attempt 11th in passer rating.

The arrival of the former Arkansas head coach as Auburn's new offensive coordinator and play-caller this offseason is expected to do wonders for Nix's development. Morris has a track record of developing quarterbacks-a list that includes former Texas high school standouts Jevan Snead and Garrett Gilbert, who both went on to sign at Texas; former Tulsa standout G.J. Kinne (3,650 yards and 30 touchdowns in one year with Morris); and former Clemson star Tajh Boyd, who won ACC Player of the Year during his second season working under Morris and totaled 11,575 yards, 103 passing touchdowns and 25 rushing scores in three seasons being coached by Morris. Morris, whose system comes from the same roots as Malzahn's while putting more emphasis on the passing game, will work hand in hand with Nix this offseason in hopes of making the sophomore his next star pupil. It's something one of Morris' former proteges, Boyd, is confident will happen, tweeting back in January that he expects Nix to throw for 3,800 yards and 35 touchdowns in 2020. - Birmingham News

  01/01/20 - Justin Herbert, Sr/2020, Oregon, 6-6, 236 (DS#3 QB) + More +

  Justin Herbert scored his third rushing touchdown of the 106th Rose Bowl on a thrilling 30-yard run with 7:41 to play Wednesday night, and No. 7 Oregon held off No. 11 Wisconsin 28-27 to win its third straight trip to the Granddaddy of Them All. Brady Breeze returned the first of his two fumble recoveries 31 yards for an early touchdown for the Ducks (12-2). Herbert then made his go-ahead rambling run on the next snap after Breeze’s second huge play, and Oregon capped its Pac-12 championship season with its 12th win in 13 games in yet another frenetic edition of this venerated bowl game.

Aron Cruickshank returned an early kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown for the Big Ten runner-up Badgers (10-4). They lost in their fourth consecutive trip to Pasadena over the last 10 years. Herbert passed for just 138 yards without a touchdown in his collegiate finale. Instead, Oregon improbably relied on the legs of its 6-foot-6 quarterback to grind out the fourth Rose Bowl victory in school history. Herbert had only 10 rushing touchdowns in the first 41 starts of his career, but he turned into a big-play machine on the ground. After he scored on runs of 4 and 5 yards in the first half, he rambled through the defense for the go-ahead score in what's sure to be the signature moment of the four-year starter's career. - AP College Football

  Justin Herbert caps his stellar four-year career with his 42nd start at quarterback before he heads to the NFL draft. The Eugene native's offense has been steadily productive even without a receiver among the nation's top 70 in yardage. Herbert is eager to embrace one last chance to live his college dreams. - AP College Football

  2019 OUTLAND TROPHY AWARD WINNER: Penei Sewell, Oregon,...Just 20 games into his collegiate career and just over two months since his 19th birthday, Oregon sophomore offensive lineman Penei Sewell is the most outstanding interior lineman in college football. Sitting alongside his parents, Arlene and Gabe, head coach Mario Cristobal and offensive line coach Alex Mirabal, Sewell was named the recipient of the 2019 Outland Trophy on Thursday night at The Home Depot College Football Awards held at the College Football Hall Of Fame in Atlanta. Sewell is the first player in Oregon history to win the Outland Trophy and just the third Pac-12 player to do so since 1999. A native of Malaeimi, American Samoa, Sewell entered the night as one of just two players in program history to be a finalist for the Outland Trophy, joining Oregon legend Haloti Ngata (2005). - Oregon Football
