OF JMU'S QB SITUATION, 'SPITTING FINE',' MANNING SHOULDER ... AND LOT MORE

  A little on a lot ... First a quick followup on likelihood the once-proud  Richmond Times-Dispatch will follow the Atlanta  Journal-Constitution and drop its print edition. R-TD  circulation, once a robust 250,000-plus, now stands at  17,000 … and falling (rapidly). Wonder why? So what do you think? Was James Madison’s two- quarterback system the primary culprit in the underdog  Dukes’ loss at Louisville? Coach  BOB CHESNEY  said  Monday rotating  ALONZA BARNETT III  and   MATTHEW SLUKA   snap by snap  will continue. JMU  has a bye week for Chesney to change his mind, if he  hasn’t already. The National Football League fined Eagles’ DL  JALEN  CARTER  $57,222 (what he’s paid per game) for spitting  on Dallas QB  DAK PRESCOTT  prior to the first snap of  the teams’ season opener. Wow! That’ll show him … No  wonder the NFL is out of control. ARCH MANNING  has a sh...

FORMER UVA QUARTERBACK FOR HEISMAN? DON'T LAUGH. IT'S POSSIBLE. REALLY1

  Football, Football … nothing but football … Starting with a question: why didn’t the country’s top  running back recruit play for Louisa High against Mills  Godwin? Curious minds would like to know … In fact,  that should have been addressed the night of the game  which was two weeks ago. The more you allow local  schools and coaches to stonewall the more they’ll do it. ADD former UVA quarterback  ANTHONY  COLANDREA  to the Heisman Watch. Surely you jest. Well, put it this way: He’s passed … and ran  (occasionally) … Nevada Las Vegas to an unbeaten (3-0)  start. Saturday night the Running Rebels added to  UCLA’s misery 30-23. It was 23-3 at halftime. By then  Colandrea had thrown for 171 yards, completing 12 of 14  passes, and two touchdowns of 21 yards each.. The woebegone 0-2 Bruins cut the deficit to 10 to open  the second half, and UNLV (primarily Colandrea)  promptly answered. A called QB run accounte...

AND ONE HOKIE PLAYER STILL THINKS 'WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM'

  College Football, Week One (not to be confused with Week 0 … whatever that means) ... OK, if you’re so smart, tell us: what did a crowd of  55,000-plus, which watched in person plus a large TV  audience, do to deserve Saturday’s game between  No. 13 South Carolina and Virginia Tech’s Hokies? Or, for that matter,  BOB WISCHUSEN  and  LOUIS  RIDDICK , in the ESPN booth? Come to think about it, a bad game deserves deserves bad  announcing … and this was B-A-D. I mean, for starters,  how to explain South Carolina riddling Tech with quick,  short passes to roll 75 yards for a 7-0 lead after 2:51 then,  for reasons never explained much less questioned by the  network, tried to establish a running game … and didn’t  make a first down during its next four series? This was supposed to be a matchup of All-American-type  quarterbacks. At least the Gamecocks’  LaNORRIS  SELLERS  looked the part for a series,...
