Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Crimson Tide and neutral site openers go hand-in-hand.  No. 1 Alabama will open the 2021 season in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game against No. 14 Miami on Sept. 4. The Crimson Tide is 10-0 in neutral-site openers under coach Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide have won those 10 games, which included matchups against six ranked opponents, by an average of 26.7 points per game. MORE: SN's Preseason Top 25 We ranked those matchups up the most-epic blowout: Virginia Tech (2009) Score: No. 5 Alabama 34, No. 7 Virginia Tech 24 Location: Chick-fil-A Kickoff (Georgia Dome) What happened: Alabama opened its first national championship run under Saban with a 10-point win against Virginia Tech. The Hokies led heading into the fourth quarter before Tide running back Mark Ingram scored two touchdown runs. Fallout: The Hokies recovered. They won their next five games and finished 10-3 before beating Tennessee in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.MORE: Saban a program killer? West Virginia (2014) Score: No. 2 Alabama 33, West Virginia 23 Location: Chick-fil-A Kickoff (Georgia Dome) What happened: West Virginia hung around in this one and trailed 20-17 at halftime, but a 19-yard touchdown run by Derrick Henry in the second half opened up the lead for Alabama. The Crimson Tide won another SEC title and reached the College Football Playoff. Fallout: West Virginia finished 7-6 under Dana Holgorsen before improving to 8-5 the following season. Wisconsin (2015) Score: No. 3 Alabama 35, No. 20 Wisconsin 17 Location: AdvoCare Classic (AT&T Stadium) What happened: Alabama started its fourth national title run under Saban by beating its second Big Ten opponent in Jerry World. Derrick Henry started his Heisman Trophy campaign by rushing for 147 yards and three touchdowns. Fallout: Wisconsin still won 10 games, but they didn’t beat a ranked team all season. They still learned their lesson, opening 2016 with a win against No. 5 LSU at Lambeau Field. Virginia Tech (2013) Score: No. 1 Alabama 35, Virginia Tech 10 Location: Chick-fil-A Kickoff (Georgia Dome) What happened: Alabama reversed “Beamer Ball.” Christion Jones returned a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns in the first half, and the Crimson Tide started an 11-2 season with another convincing win.

John Parker Wilson threw two toucdowns. The Tide finished 12-0 before losing to Florida in the SEC championship game. Fallout: Clemson fired Tommy Bowden six games into the season after a 3-3 start. That worked out long term with Dabo Swinney, but the Tigers finished 7-6 that season. Louisville (2018) Score:No. 1 Alabama 51, Louisville 14 Location:Camping World Kickoff (Orlando, Fla.) What happened: Tua Tagovailoa led a TD drive on the first possession, and the Crimson Tide never looked back in a routine route of the Cardinals.

Duke (2019) Score:No. 2 Alabama 49, Duke 3 Location:Chick-fil-A Kickoff (Mercedes-Benz Stadium) What happened:After a scoreless fourth quarter, Alabama rolled on offense. Tua Tagovailoa threw for 336 yards and four TDs, and Jerry Jeudy caught 10 passes for 137 yards and a TD. Fallout:Duke bounced back to win its next three games, but a five-game losing streak that started in October led to a disappointing 5-7 season. Florida State (2017) Score:No. 1 Alabama 24, No. 3 Florida State 7 Location:Chick-fil-A Kickoff (Mercedes-Benz Stadium) What happened: It was billed the "Greatest Opener of All Time," and FSU trailed 10-7 at halftime. Alabama, however, took advantage of some special teams miscues to take control in the second half. The game will always be remembered for Deondre Francois’ season-ending injury in the final minutes. Fallout:That led to a disastrous 7-6 season for Florida State, and Jimbo Fisher left for Texas A&M. Alabama finished 11-1 in the regular season and this win helped them sneak into the College Football Playoff ahead of Ohio State. Michigan (2012) Score: No. 2 Alabama 48, No. 8 Michigan 14 Location: Cowboys Classic (AT&T Stadium) What happened: Alabama opened its national title defense by jumping out to a 31-0 lead against a Michigan team that won the Sugar Bowl the previous season. That started another national championship run for Alabama. Fallout: Michigan was never the same under Brady Hoke. The Wolverines finished 8-5 that season before compiling a 12-13 record the next two seasons. USC (2016) Score: No. 1 Alabama 52, No. 20 USC 6 Location: AdvoCare Classic (AT&T Stadium) What happened: The defending national champions overwhelmed USC with a defense that allowed just 194 total yards. The Crimson Tide scored 38 unanswered points by true freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts after falling behind 3-0. Fallout: It was USC's worst loss since losing to Notre Dame 51-0 in 1966. The Trojans bounced back, however, to finish 10-3 and win the Rose Bowl Game against Penn State. Read the full article

A 2019 Browns timeline, from playoff hype to train wreck
Tumblr media
Baker Mayfield and Odell Beckham Jr. haven’t lived up to their lofty expectations.
The Browns couldn’t handle the weight of expectation.
The Cleveland Browns haven’t been to the playoffs since 2002. They will be the only team to finish the entire 2010s decade without a single winning season. It really shouldn’t be surprising that a team defined by ineptitude had a rough season.
But 2019 was supposed to be different.
The Browns were a Super Bowl favorite. After trading for three-time Pro Bowl receiver Odell Beckham Jr., Cleveland had 14-1 odds to win its first ever Lombardi Trophy. Only four teams — the Patriots, Chiefs, Saints, and Rams — were given a better chance by oddsmakers. Bets on the Browns poured in.
Those expectations turned out to be too a heavy burden for the Browns to bear. First-year head coach Freddie Kitchens has struggled to deal with the pressure that comes with a talented roster. Browns players haven’t done well handling the frustration that comes with not stringing together wins.
How did all go wrong?
Cleveland’s 2019 season has been a slow-moving train wreck that keeps getting worse as the calendar approaches its end. Here’s all the dysfunction of the Browns in 2019, with the latest drama right at the top:
Dec. 18: Beckham and Landry deny reports that they’ve asked to be rescued
There have been reports of Beckham telling multiple teams to “come get him” out of Cleveland. According to NFL Network reporter Mike Silver, the problem runs much deeper than just one player.
More fallout from the Jarvis Landry tirade during the Browns-Cardinals game: I'm told by two sources that before the game ended, 'multiple' Browns players yelled at the Arizona sideline to 'come get me'--asking to come play for the Cardinals. Landry, I'm told, was one of them.
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) December 16, 2019
The Arizona Cardinals are a four-win team in last place in the NFC West. It says a lot if multiple Browns players would rather play there instead of Cleveland.
Jarvis Landry disputed the report, though.
#Browns WR Jarvis Landry vehemently denied NFL Network report that stated he told #AZCardinals sideline “come get me.” Landry said he would never do that and the accusation bothers him.
— Nate Ulrich (@ByNateUlrich) December 18, 2019
Beckham also pushed back against talks of him wanting out. He told reporters he plans on being a member of the Browns for the foreseeable future.
Odell Beckham Jr. on the future: “I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be here.” Said “it’s too special” and he wants to see things through with the Browns.
— PatMcManamon (@PatMcManamon) December 18, 2019
Beckham signed a five-year, $90 million contract extension with the Giants, but played just one season under that deal before he was traded to the Browns. Now Cleveland has Beckham under contract until after the 2023 season. The Browns can keep Beckham in Cleveland for several years, whether he actually wants to be there or not.
Dec. 15: Landry and Kitchens hash it out in a sideline spat
The tirade that sparked rumors of Landry wanting out came during the Browns’ 38-24 loss to the Cardinals. The receiver was seen having a not-so-friendly conversation with Kitchens on the sideline.
#Browns Jarvis Landry voicing some...umm...frustration with Freddie Kitchens. pic.twitter.com/tFtEkHDFyC
— Jon Doss (@JonDoss) December 15, 2019
It doesn’t take an expert lip reader to determine Landry wasn’t telling Kitchens he’s doing a great job. Landry later said he “asked for the ball to try to get involved in the game to help.”
Hours before that costly Week 15 loss, NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport said Kitchens’ job is probably safe:
But as of right now, barring a horrific collapse or circumstance to end the season, it appears the Browns will be moving forward with Kitchens.
The Browns’ playoff hopes were probably toast, regardless. A loss to the Cardinals pushed Cleveland into need-a-miracle territory. It remains to see if that counts as “a horrific collapse or circumstance.”
Dec. 11: Rashard Higgins laughs off Kitchens keeping him off the field
Kitchens defended the lack of snaps for Rashard Higgins, by telling reporters that the Browns receiver didn’t give the team its best chance to win.
#Browns HC Freddie Kitchens on limited snaps for WR Rashard Higgins this past week: "We try to play the players that give us the best chance to win each and every week...and that's strictly a week-to-week thing."
— Keith Britton (@KeithBritton86) December 11, 2019
Higgins has just four receptions on the year after breaking out as a reliable target for Baker Mayfield in 2018. He finished that season with 572 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Higgins seemingly responded to Kitchens’ comments with a tweet later that day.
— Wood (@CALLME_WOOD) December 11, 2019
Higgins is due to become a free agent after the 2019 season.
Dec. 8: A report says Beckham is trying to get traded
Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reported that Beckham has made it known he wants out of Cleveland.
Does Odell Beckham Jr. really want out of Cleveland? @JayGlazer has the latest: pic.twitter.com/5XEDYj6Iba
— FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) December 8, 2019
“Odell Beckham has actually told other players and coaches before games and during games ‘Hey, come get me, come get me,’” Glazer says. “I don’t see that relationship ending well for them after this year.”
That report came two days after Beckham insisted on Twitter that he isn’t looking to get out Cleveland.
Ok ... I NEVER said I was not happy in Cleveland, just like everyone else I’m hopeful for better results. Period. Next story plzz ...
— Odell Beckham Jr (@obj) December 6, 2019
Rapoport reported that Beckham has been playing through a sports hernia that will require offseason surgery to repair. Mayfield told reporters that the injury “wasn’t handled right.” He immediately backtracked from that comments and tweeted that he didn’t mean to throw the team’s medical staff under the bus.
Nov. 30: A starting safety is mysteriously held out for a key game
Browns safety Damarious Randall was held out of a pivotal divisional game against the Steelers due to what was called “a coaching decision.” It was because of “something that happened during the week,” according to Cleveland.com.
Steelers rookie quarterback Devlin Hodges completed only 14 passes, but racked up 212 yards against the thin Browns secondary in a 20-13 win. Cleveland had a chance to climb back to .500 and deal Pittsburgh a devastating blow. Instead, it put the Steelers in a good position to land a spot in the postseason.
Nov. 15: Myles Garrett gets an indefinite suspension for an ugly fight
The Browns’ 2019 season has been defined by a lack of discipline.
The culmination of that problem was a fight in the final seconds of a 21-7 win for the Browns over the Steelers. More specifically, it was Cleveland’s star pass rusher Myles Garrett ripping off the helmet of Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and bashing him over the head with it.
This is all ugly pic.twitter.com/9WQzcjZCCj
— CJ Fogler (@cjzero) November 15, 2019
Garrett claimed Rudolph used a racial slur, but the NFL said it found no evidence of that claim. Rudolph received a sizable fine, Browns defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi was suspended one game, and Steelers offensive lineman Maurkice Pouncey was suspended three games.
Garrett unsurprisingly received the worst punishment, an indefinite suspension that runs through the remainder of the 2019 season and potentially beyond. He’ll have to apply for reinstatement during the offseason.
Oct. 7: Baker Mayfield finishes a MNF loss with a 13.4 passer rating
Mayfield finished a 31-3 loss to the 49ers watching from the sideline. In a Monday Night Football showcase, he completed just 8 of 22 passes for 100 yards with two interceptions. Mayfield was pulled with just over five minutes left and the loss dropped the Browns to 2-3.
He was also sacked four times and fumbled twice behind a porous offensive line.
Sept. 8: Browns OT Greg Robinson is ejected for a dangerous kick
The Browns’ season started with dark clouds immediately. The Titans ran away with a 43-13 blowout win and Cleveland’s starting left tackle, Greg Robinson, was ejected for kicking safety Kenny Vaccaro in the face.
welp, the Browns will have to play the second half without their starting left tackle. Greg Robinson ejected for kicking Kenny Vaccaro right in the face pic.twitter.com/y324hpluQ7
— Christian D'Andrea (@TrainIsland) September 8, 2019
Robinson wasn’t suspended for the kick, but he struggled to protect Mayfield’s blindside all season.
June 4: Baker Mayfield calls out Duke Johnson for wanting out of Cleveland
Browns running back Duke Johnson showed up for offseason activities, but made it clear that he hoped for a trade out of Cleveland.
Duke Johnson Jr. explains his trade request & why he doesn’t feel wanted by #Browns anymore pic.twitter.com/EyRQ5MNiaY
— Daryl Ruiter (@RuiterWrongFAN) June 4, 2019
That’s not an especially unique situation. Johnson was one of a handful of players across the NFL that held out or voiced displeasure with their current team and/or contract. It also wasn’t too surprising that Kitchens put his foot down and said Johnson was going to be part of the Browns offense, whether he likes it or not.
However, it did raise eyebrows when Mayfield spoke out against his teammate.
#Browns Baker Mayfield on Duke wanting to be traded: “You’re either on this train or your not”
— Mary Kay Cabot (@MaryKayCabot) June 4, 2019
That comment reportedly didn’t sit well with everyone in the locker room.
As I just stated on @nflnetwork: According to multiple sources, several veteran Browns players approached Baker Mayfield in the locker room after the young QB's critical comments about RB Duke Johnson to register their displeasure, and they hashed out their differences.
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) June 13, 2019
The situation was smoothed out for good when Johnson was traded to the Texans in August.
Bad luck has played a factor in the Browns’ subpar season too. Beckham hasn’t been 100 percent for most of, if not all of, the season. Other significant injuries include ones that have kept players like Christian Kirksey, David Njoku, Olivier Vernon, and Morgan Burnett out of action.
But the frustrating year will likely be remembered for the in-fighting and drama that continued to bubble up as the season went on. That cost the Browns a promising season and could also cost Kitchens his job.

Versatile willing hasn’t taken the MCAT big applied
This got off to a nba basketball jerseys start when he opened the preseason with a 3 basketball jerseys for sale for 30 shooting stretch. With over 3 yards, 40 touchdowns, 11 kick and punt return touchdowns, 6 interceptions . This year I was there for two months, I tried to do everything possible, but there are times when you simply can’t. A chronic thumb injury and a fallout cheap jerseys elite with former head coach Martz led to ‘s release from the team, a transformative event the Rams’ stay St. Snell, who has done a fine job overall, no longer has to check the other team’s best guard full-time. Perhaps there’s something peculiar going on the defensive end, where Semin and his teammates are getting another dose of some unfavourable variance. He was a very well-rounded . for the C question: I’m not worried about it, he cheap jerseys china said. Robinson: It was exciting to a young player like come to training, get inserted into the lineup and never stop hitting. McGary has been suspended additional 10 to begin the 2016 for non-compliance with the baseball jerseys ‘s drug policy, The Vertical cheap jerseys china reports. AP Datome had 13 points against the Heat Monday. The mindset of Enunwa has to change because 90 percent of the time he be on the field. Army All-American Bowl San , Texas.
The more the merrier on that D Line. I’ve been spending a lot of hours working on cheap jerseys elite shot before practice, after Stochastic Processes: From Physics to Finance practice, trying to catch the feeling. At 6 feet, Kendricks had a very strong rookie , and Brothers led the nation tackles per game Garfield Vol. 1 at 6-foot-1. …He hasn’t played meaningful games . Not coincidentally, those were the plays he was usually able to get pressure as well. 2013, Castro made the All-Star team. Either way, there’s no doubt that he is hitting the ball with more authority than ever before. abolition of the Earl Marshal’s imperial jurisdiction was a significant development the history of the English heralds, and marked a serious reduction the area of their activity. F4NE3Oao2b – Keysor 22 This isn’t overall good play for the Chiefs, as West gets stuffed for no gain.
Mikita, C Over a seven- period, Mikita won four scoring titles, two Hart Trophies and six first baseball jerseys all- berths. When you see the words Hollweg, fan, and favorite together, you know something’s wrong. When I said I wanted to move The Media and Social Theory (CRESC) to , she quit her job and moved down there a week later. Memphis almost traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves two years ago – would Tom Thibodeau be interested getting a man of ‘s talents on the young Wolves? He tends to wait for defenders to come to him pass protection, but is able to use his hands to keep them at bay. Let’s try to put it all perspective. He’s a physically imposing baseball jerseys prospect who is easy to spot on the field, coming at impressive 6-foot-6 and 270 pounds. It was born from discussions between defensive coordinator James Bettcher, defensive line coach Brentson Buckner, pass rush coach Tom Pratt and outside linebackers coach Bob Sanders, effort to pressure the quarterback. Hextall was adept and nba basketball jerseys physically strong that he developed the ability to routinely be able to fire the Matthew Slater Jersey puck from goal line to goal using his goalie stick. He has 4 wheels to go along with his 6-foot-6-pound frame, but caught only one pass 16 as a rookie.
He has had a CF% of 50 or above with only two partners. I would rank him the top 5 if I could. I think a lot of it had to do with the medical side catching up because of how expensive players were for the owner. They wholesale nba jerseys like to get out to the flat and quick. It was during the 2006 regular at Fenway Park. He was also RPI’s punter, averaging 38 yards per kick with 12 that landed inside the 20 yard PHOENIX – Where the relationship between Bears Pace http://www.authenticbruinssale.com/paul-postma-jersey-c-1_21.html and coach John Fox goes beyond 2017 remains to play out with their third together. Not only does this basketball jerseys for sale make New a stronger Cup contender, but nba basketball jerseys it’s also more than just a half- rental. – Maybe the Senators need to give their goalie a break. He never felt more like outsider.
Please enter your email address associated with the account so we can help reset your password. The truth is the Giants defense has been really bad over the past couple of seasons and they be looking to have a complete overhaul. The nice who wrote the Barrasso is a Odell Beckham Jr Womens Jersey jerk article showed his true colors by writing a character assasination piece and posting it for the world to read because Barrasso was pissed about being called at home. So I went into Howe’s office and I’m asking, ‘Well, who did I get traded for?’ And he wholesale nba http://www.authenticsteelersprostore.com/maurkice-pouncey-jerseys-c-1_11.html jerseys said, ‘A kid named Jeff Bagwell.’ Andersen was 5 with a 1 ERA 50 appearances with the Astros at the time of the trade. Played every game his freshman season and averaged cheap jerseys elite 29 yards basketball jerseys for sale per kick return. He’s lucky the Mets are giving him another shot, but this is d’Arnaud’s last to prove he can be a No. … But the growth of schools cheap jerseys china Pflugerville or Round Rock makes it tough. Backstrom wholesale nba jerseys is with the Wild with a 2 goals-against average, .915 save percentage and 28 shutouts.

Notre Dame vs Michigan State 2017 live stream: Start time, TV schedule, and how to watch online
This primetime matchup is the last ‘Battle for the Megaphone’ until 2026.
The Michigan State Spartans should be plenty rested coming off a bye week, and they are looking to start their season 3-0. Michigan State will host Brian Kelly and his Notre Dame team in primetime on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on FOX (live stream it on NBCSports.com).
This rivalry game marks the 79th time these teams have met and will be the last “Battle for the Megaphone” until 2026. Both teams are clawing back from embarrassing 2016 seasons — yep, Notre Dame went 4-8, but Michigan State was worse — and a rivalry win will be a big momentum boost heading into the tougher parts of their schedules.
The Spartans came away with the win last year in South Bend, but Kelly has sort of mellowed out and has a promising young quarterback who has led the team to a 2-1 start. Michigan State will have to contain the run game, by both the running backs and quarterback Brandon Wimbush. The junior quarterback had himself a day last week against Boston College, rushing for 207 yards and four touchdowns, averaging nearly 10 yards a carry.
Likewise, Notre Dame’s run defense will be tested on Saturday. Spartans RB LJ Scott has been on the uptick this season, rushing for 86 yards and a touchdown — with another touchdown off a reception — in the team’s Week 2 game against Western Michigan. Sophomore quarterback Brian Lewerke also ran for 81 yards and two scores to lead the team to its second win of the year.
Time, TV channel, and streaming info
Time: 8 p.m. ET
Location: Spartan Stadium, East Lansing, Mich.
TV: FOX
Streaming: NBCSports.com
Odds: The Fighting Irish are favored by 6 points.
Notre Dame vs. Michigan State news:
Notre Dame is keeping its depth chart consistent in part to help its young QB.
This rivalry goes way, way back, but there were some pretty incredible moments from their meetings in the 2000s.
Coach Kelly isn’t worried about Wimbush’s dip in accuracy from high school:
Accuracy I think is a product of being comfortable within an offense, an offense that has changed a little bit from what he was used to running. It also has to do with really only having one receiver that has established himself in the program for a period of time. He's working with some new receivers.
Lewerke is great on the ground but needs some work on his passing game:
Lewerke has struggled with consistency and getting off to slow starts. His accuracy has also been an issue, leaving him open to injuries.
Kelly’s new (?) attitude
Sure, it was only Week 1, but the coach for the Fighting Irish kept his sideline shenanigans to a minimum and didn’t seem to rip into any of his players during the 60 minutes of play. Kelly had hoped to display a calmer demeanor on the sideline to pivot away from the oft-repeated anger problem narrative.
All was going well until Notre Dame’s Week 2 loss to Georgia. Kelly still kept his composure during the game, but afterward had a pretty snarky exchange with a reporter. Admittedly, it was more of a non-story, but the head coach already had a contentious relationship with the press, having since changed his media policy:
But what I will change this year is that I can't be honest with assessments of players to the media. Totally honest. Because it's portrayed as throwing players under the bus. Being disloyal to a player. They don't know the relationship with the player. Based upon what happened last year and the fallout that occurred from other media sources, it doesn't do the university — it doesn't do our program — any good for me to be forthright when it comes to those kinds of assessments of our players.
So will Brian Kelly slowly morph back into the red-faced screamer we’re used to seeing on Notre Dame’s sideline? Or will he continue to be a more subdued version of his former self? Only time will tell, but a win (or loss) over the Spartans could help tip the scales one way or the other.
Notre Dame vs. Michigan State prediction:
The Fighting Irish come away with a road win and Kelly gets caught yelling at his players only once. The Megaphone Trophy is headed back to South Bend with Notre Dame.
