Mohamed Salah,  LIV at RBL (€30): Salah is in good form coming… Source link

Grading UCF’s hiring of Gus Malzahn

To the coaches who’ve gone against Gus Malzahn for more than a decade during his time calling plays in the SEC, a sense of tactical arrogance always permeated from his best teams. When Gus Malzahn first coached and coordinated at Auburn, he was going to do things the way he knew how — the tempo cranked, the tendencies be damned and that predictability empowered like battering ram as opposed to a liability.
