| HEAD COACH | ||||
| Urban Meyer, Ohio State | ||||
| • Denotes true freshman | ||||
scooter why is Urban Meyer the only coach named, is he your new man crush?
Learn to read you dummy. Team was named by Football Writers Assn. of America and not Scott.
Did any other coach go undefeated in their first year this season? Maybe all the other writers have a man crush as well, and you assume Wolf is a writer.
Williams has skills but needs to learn to play smarter to avoid penalties.
Goins also made UCLA’s honor roll. Williams can’t actually spell honor roll. LOL
Please come out of the closet and let it be know
