Emmanuel Acho says Jim Harbaugh isn’t living up to Michigan’s expectations:
“It’s getting very hard to shield Jim Harbaugh from criticism, because the fact of the matter is, reality minus expectations equals disappointment.”
“Jim Harbaugh is really good. He’s a good head coach. But good is the enemy of great. So, is Michigan going to get to the point where they sacrifice being good to chase being great?”
Has Jim Harbaugh underperformed at Michigan?

Terry Bradshaw says Arizona State and head coach Herm Edwards are a perfect fit:
“He is absolutely perfect for college football. When he went to ASU, I said this is a marriage made in heaven. What a perfect match for him. If he were recruiting me as a high school player and wanted me to go there, I would have a hard time telling Herm Edwards no.”

Reggie Bush says Alabama is currently the best team in the country:
“I have to give the edge to Alabama, and it’s because of the difference-maker that they have in the backfield – Najee Harris. You can hand the football to him 25, 30, 35 times a game, and then in four-minute situations, when you need to control time of possession, when you need to control the clock, you can hand it to Najee Harris some more.”
“What it comes down to for defensive coordinators is, you have to dedicate eight, sometimes even nine guys in the box to slow down this run, because what it does is it keeps your defense on the field, it wears them down. And then on the outside with those first-round draft pick receivers they have – they’re in man-to-man coverage a lot. That is very tough for a defense to guard for four quarters.”
