Kevin Sherrington: Is there anything stopping Jimbo Fisher from following Scott Woodward to LSU?

Only two years after engineering his “100-year decision” to truck Texas A&M off to the SEC, R. Bowen Loftin quit the school for Missouri. If that seemed a little quick on the trigger after such a momentous move, Scott Woodward makes Loftin look like a lifer. Because after pulling off a couple of the biggest hires in school history over a 15-month stretch, the athletic director high-tailed it for LSU this week.

Mark Bradley: Justin Fields isn’t yet the toast of Columbus, Ohio

This time a year ago, more than a few folks figured Justin Fields would become Georgia's starting quarterback before the 2018 season ended. (I was among them.) Didn't happen. Didn't come close to happening. Whereupon Fields did as you had to figure he'd do, meaning leave. He's now considered the front-runner to be Ohio State's starting quarterback, not to mention the co-third-favorite, as of late February, for the 2019 Heisman Trophy.
