The newest family member of Gator Nation is…
Kenny Carter joined the Gator Staff officially today as the Running Backs Coach, replacing Stan Drayton who left for Tennessee in January. Carter graduated from the Citadel in 1990 and his resume includes stops at his alma mater, Furman, LSU, Pittsburgh, Penn State, before spending four years at Vandy as Running Backs Coach and Recruiting Coordinator.
Carter will emphasize ball security with Gator RBs, as the past few have given up costly fumbles in big games, including last year’s loss to eventual BCS Champion LSU. It’s unfortunate this addition did not come earlier to assist in the recruitment of Running Backs in the 2008 class.
This week’s games begin with #5 Kansas vs. #12 Texas tonight at 9 Eastern on ESPN. Big 12 supremacy is on the line, and Texas looks to knock Kansas off their roost.
Tuesday’s game to watch will be #9 Michigan St. taking on #23 Purdue. Purdue has a hot hand right now coming off a big upset at #8 Wisconsin. The Boilermakers are 10-1 in the Big Ten and at the top of the conference. Purdue, on a 9-game win streak, lost its last game by three points January 8th at Michigan State. The game is at 7 PM Eastern on ESPN.
Wednesday’s game to watch is a toss up. You could go with SEC East leader #4 Tennessee hosting Arkansas, who is coming on strong in the West (8 PM Eastern, ESPN Full Court/Raycom Sports formerly Lincoln Financial). No. 14 Wisconsin at #12 Indiana is another top 25 match up of conference powers (7 PM Eastern, Big Ten Network). Or if your in Big East country, #18 Notre Dame at #17 Connecticut looks to be a great match up.
Thursday night lacks a marquee top 25 match up, but #7 Stanford at Arizona State looks to be the game of the night for those up late in the East (10:30 PM Eastern, FSN)
Friday night at 9 PM Eastern on ESPN you can catch #24 Pitt at #25 Marquette in Big East action.
Saturday I’ll be at the Florida vs Vandy game to let you know how that one goes. In other action, #9 Michigan St. is at #12 Indiana (9 PM Eastern, ESPN). If each team wins their game this week, this could be a battle for the top spot in the Big Ten.
That rounds out your week of television viewing.
