Non-BCS RB Profiles
Athlon continues its release of the 2009 college fantasy football draft kit, with a look at running backs from the WAC, Mountain West and Independents.
2009 Wake Forest Demon Deacons Preview
Last year’s defense was so good it often covered up the offensive problems, but Jim Grobe won’t have that luxury this season. He must replace experience with raw talent, and he must find some playmakers. This year, they could come on the offensive side of the ball, if the blocking improves. Wake’s magical run to the Orange Bowl was three years ago, and a successful season may hinge on how well Wake recruited off that success.
Nos. 41-50
Teams in the 40s are announced today as Athlon Sports releases teams ranked 26-120 in reverse order 10 at a time.
