College Spotlight


Referring to the college spotlight, the college football season is back on teams are playing and the rivals are going. As the SEC begins it seems the two teams to catch the attention of people during this week 12 preview are Wisconsin-Auburn as being king of the spotlight at the moment. It seems that the quarterback from the Hurricanes is on the Heisman Watch. He has been playing a remarkable game lately as being a transfer from Houston. Keeping the offense in a good placing during this college season. But more teams are coming around the corner for them. Big football games involving Kentucky are starting to become more typical in the SEC. The Wildcats have one of the best offensive lines in the country and could qualify as a dark horse in an East Division race that has No. 4 Georgia and No. 5 Florida as favorites. Kentucky and Auburn don't play often just once since 2010 and when they do the Tigers usually win. Auburn is 17-1 in the series going back to 1967. Before Miami won easily last year, the ‘Canes and ’Noles played five straight games decided by five points or fewer. A pandemic-altered college football season has helped put FSU-Miami in the spotlight again this weekend. The 12th-ranked Hurricanes (2-0) are hosting ESPN's “College Game Day,” and for the second straight week playing in prime time. Florida State (0-1) will play without coach Mike Norvell, who tested positive for COVID-19 last week. The Southeastern Conference also kicks off Saturday, putting three of the power five conferences in play. The Big Ten and Pac-12 are still at least a month away, but the college football menu is starting to fill up.

Another person who caught someone's attention is the OlB from Alabama. During his time at Ryan High School in Denton, Texas, Sanders spent some time at wide receiver, defensive end, inside linebacker and wide receiver. He brings that versatility to the collegiate level, which could allow him to see some time on offense at some point in his college career. Alabama football plans to use him in more of an edge rusher role as a freshman. The Texas product’s skill set and body frame make him the perfect candidate to be an elite outside linebacker for Alabama. He shows great strength when rushing off the edge and has a burst of quickness, which makes him hard to block. His all-around athleticism allows him to play sideline to sideline. Another big thing to take the college spotlight is the Alumni Association in Arkansas. Them not focusing on Innovative Programs and Critical Conversations. The Arkansas Alumni Association is pivoting its focus this year and creating new and innovative programs to better connect and serve University of Arkansas alumni. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the new programs will focus on three initiatives: conversations on race, college spotlights and community outreach.
