Nick Provo the entire story in ESPN interview with Dana Holgorsen

Clemson's goal will be to exploit holes in the West Virginia coverage the way Syracuse did with Nick Provo in their 49-23 upset victory earlier this season. The Mountaineers struggled to keep Provo marked, particularly in the red zone, and eventually gave up six catches for 61 yards and three touchdowns. Dwayne Allen is arguably an enhanced version of Provo, and Goode must help the linebackers keep the 6-foot-4 Mackey Award winner from pulling down passes in the end zone if they hope to leave South Beach with their third BCS bowl win since 2005.

Former Players

The second player that Dallas must re-sign with great haste is fullback Tony Fiammetta. While Fiammetta missed a few games due to injury from Week 11 to 13, those absences prove how valuable he is. From Week 7 to Week 10, DeMarco Murray ran for 601 yards, averaging 8.01 yards per carry. During the three games that Fiammetta missed, Murray ran for 198 yards, averaging 3.35 yards per carry. This is not a coincidence because Fiammetta is just that good.

The Cotton Bowl has seen its share of great football games and players alike. Most notably, players such as Joe Montana, Keyshawn Johnson, Troy Aikman, Jim Brown, Bo Jackson, Ricky Williams, Doug Flutie, Ernie Davis, and Roger Staubach among many others are all in the Cotton Bowl Hall Of Fame.

The Colts have no such rushing attack, nor have they ever had one since the days of Edgerrin James. I'm not convinced that Joseph Addai, Donald Brown, and Delone Carter can provide the sort of balanced attack in which Luck flourishes.

This year, he dropped to 3.7, which tied him for 46th overall with Delone Carter and Marion "Out of Bounds" Barber.

Syracuse's first significant snowfall just a glorified dusting. By this time last year I had removed snow 11 times, zero so far this year.

This interested me:

"Skytop Barracks were built in 1947 as a temporary housing development for 700 freshmen at Syracuse University. The extra buildings were needed because of the influx of veterans of World War II to college. Sixteen individual barracks similar that which was destroyed were constructed. The development was closed in 1953 as the students were moved into dormitories nearer the campus, but it was reopened again in 1955 as a military barracks for the Air force Institute of Technology (AFIT) language program. The Air Force used the area under contract with the University, but the University owned the land and buildings and were responsible for maintenance."

From Jim Brown's autobiography, "Out of Bounds":

"I was shown my new home, a row of converted barracks known as Skytop. It was up in the hills aobut three miles form campus and I had to hitch to get to class. But I liked it up at Skytop. The rest of the students were non-athletic freshman and I had never envisioned myself as just a jock. I ahd a roommate named Gene Boshes, an intellectual, budding philosopher and we'd stay up in the night discussing Life. My life at Skytop was wonderful because it was natural. I was just another freshman."

Jim was the only football player at Skytop. The rest were at Collendale. He didn't realize he'd been segregated, (from the other football players), because he was black until he found that out. He doesn't discuss his living arrangements after his freshman year but it appears that he was in the alst group of students to stay in those barracks.
