  Kevin Stefanski Hands Over Browns Play-Calling Duties to Offensive Coordinator Ken Dorsey: A New Era for Cleveland’s Offense In a significant shift for the Cleveland Browns, head coach Kevin Stefanski has decided to relinquish his play-calling responsibilities, passing them on to recently hired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. This move marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Browns’ offense, signaling Stefanski’s willingness to adapt in hopes of igniting the team's underwhelming performance on that side of the ball. The Decision to Step Back Since taking over as head coach in 2020, Stefanski has called offensive plays for the Browns. Under his leadership, Cleveland’s offense initially flourished, particularly during the 2020 season when the team made a rare playoff appearance, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round. Stefanski's offensive schemes, emphasizing a run-heavy attack and play-action passes, played a key role in maximizing the talents of qu...

BCS Rankings: Oklahoma State In The Title Game Could Put Stanford In Fiesta, Sugar, Even Alamo (Unlikely)

  The Stanford Cardinal looked like they were ready to pack their bags for the Fiesta Bowl after the LSU Tigers beat down the Georgia Bulldogs to eliminate the embarrassing three SEC team BCS scenario. And after the Virginia Tech Hokies went down to the Clemson Tigers in the ACC Championship game, Stanford seemed to have locked up the #4 spot, which by BCS selection procedure should have assured them an automatic qualifier bid. After Saturday's results, they may very well still go to the Fiesta Bowl. But it's no longer a guarantee. Not after Bedlam. The Oklahoma St. Cowboys laid a total smackdown on their rival Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday night in Stillwater, throwing a potential monkey wrench into the Cardinal's BCS title hopes. Oklahoma State looked totally dominant on offense and defense, giving them the big marquee victory they needed to lift them right up with the Alabama Crimson Tide in the BCS title discussion. Alabama seemed like a total knock-in to be t...

BATON ROUGE, La. — Tyrann Mathieu answered the call for a game-turning play when Louisiana State needed one, and the top-ranked Tigers piled on from there. Mathieu returned a punt 92 yards for a tying score and LSU punished third-ranked Arkansas with 286 yards rushing, wiping out a 14-point deficit with a 41-17 victory Friday that secured a spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game. LSU (12-0 overall, 8-0 SEC) will play No. 13 Georgia next weekend in Atlanta for the SEC title. The rivalry game with Arkansas (10-2, 6-2) was billed as the biggest at Tiger Stadium since 1959, the last time two teams ranked among the top three clashed in Death Valley. Billy Cannon lifted No. 1 LSU to a 7-3 victory over No. 3 Mississippi in that game with an 89-yard punt return for a score, so it seemed fitting the Tigers would get a similar score against the Razorbacks. "I could hear my teammates in my ear saying, 'Man, we need you to go make a play,' " Mathieu said. ...
