You have all probably heard about the NCAA’s rule change that will enforce celebration penalties from the spot if a player starts to celebrate before they get into the endzone. That means that the touchdown will be taken off the board in such cases of celebration prior to a touchdown. It took six weeks, but the rule was finally enforced on Saturday afternoon in Baton Rouge.

Zach Bigalke: Welcome back to another edition of the Tailgater here at Breaking Tackles. I’ll be piloting this week’s panel, joined as always by Matt Strobl and John Mitchell.

The Heisman race is beginning to take shape. While there are still candidates that are on the outside looking in at the moment with chances of busting down the Heisman doors, through five weeks we have established a few guys that seem to be locks to make it to New York City for the Heisman Presentation in December.
The front runners this week feature a familiar name atop the list, but also features two guys that made significant jumps as they rode... Read More

John Mitchell: Most college football teams have either already started or will be starting conference play this weekend as the season continues on its rapid pace. I hate to see the season moving by so quickly, but I’m very excited about the upcoming slate of games this weekend and the coming weeks.

After four weeks, the Heisman race remain wide open with many candidates still waiting in the wings to make their case on a national stage. We’ve weeded out some of the contenders from the pretenders, but there are still some pretenders out there and some contenders have yet to emerge from the pack.
We saw a player that fell off the pace earlier in the season emerge back into the Heisman conversation with an excellent weekend performance. We saw... Read More
