Virginia running back Mike Hollins knows he will never be the same. He also says the importance of college football has shrunk. But he can't wait to run onto the field with his teammates this season. Hollins was wounded in a shooting attack last November that left three of his teammates dead. He had a long rehabilitation but returned for spring practices. He has been an inspiration to his team. Virginia opens the season Sept. 2 against Tennessee in Nashville.
Georgia’s new offensive coordinator is hardly a stranger in these parts. Mike Bobo played quarterback for the Bulldogs back in the 1990s.

His task is straightforward yet daunting: Keep Georgia’s offense rolling toward an unprecedented third straight title.

While football is driving the realignment train, it’s the sport that will be least affected by coast-to-coast conferences and travel times between member schools.
