Johnny Manziel is taking a stand for Reggie Bush

Johnny Manziel has decided to stick up for Reggie Bush.

The Heisman Trophy-winning QB from Texas A&M revealed Saturday on Twitter he will not take part in the award ceremony in December unless Reggie Bush is reinstated.

Bush had his 2005 Heisman win revoked by the Heisman Trust after a four-year extra-benefits investigation determined that he and family members, while he was a student-athlete, accepted cash, travel expenses, and a home in the San Diego area where Bush’s parents lived rent-free for more than a year and for which they were provided $10,000 to furnish.

Jedd Fisch is leaving Arizona for the Washington Huskies

Fisch comes to the Huskies from the University of Arizona, which was in the Pac-12 with Washington.

However, next college football season neither will be in the same conference.

Fisch was 16-21 in three seasons as head coach of the Wildcats. However, that doesn’t tell the story.

In his first two seasons, he was 6-18.

The Arizona program saw a huge turnaround in 2023 winning 10 of 13 games.

it was Arizona’s first 10-win season since 2014.

Fisch replaces Kalen DeBoer, who took the Alabama job after Nick Saban retired.

Kalen DeBoer leaving Washington for Alabama head coaching job

Kalen DeBoer is exiting Washing to step into Nick Saban’s job at Alabama

The biggest domino in the college football coaching carousel is about to fall.

Kalen DeBoer will replace Nick Saban at Alabama. That means the Washington Huskies job is opening and there will be many candidates for that position as the Huskies transition to the Big Ten.

DeBoer was 14-1 year with Washington, winning the Pac-12 Championship and defeating Texas in the College Football Playoff semifinal before losing to Michigan.

Over his nine seasons as a head football coach, DeBoer has compiled a 104-12.

Per his Washington bio:

A school-record setting wide receiver at the University of Sioux Falls (S.D.), DeBoer later led his alma mater to three NAIA National Championships in five seasons as head coach, winning the title in 2006, 2008 and 2009, while also finishing as runner-up in 2007 and making the semifinals in his first season as head coach, in 2005.

During his five seasons at Sioux Falls, DeBoer compiled a 67-3 overall record, including a 49-1 mark in Great Plains Athletic Conference play. In two seasons at Fresno State, he had a 12-6 overall record, giving him a career record of 79-9. He was NAIA National Coach of the Year in each of his three championship seasons at USF.

DeBoer steps into a huge job and replacing Saban, who won six national championships with the Crimson Tide, will be a monumental task.

Michigan muzzles Washington to win national championship

The Michigan Wolverines downed Washington to win the CFP National Championship Game

A season full of controversy and multiple suspensions of coach Jim Harbaugh wound up with a 15-0 record and a national championship for Michigan.

The Wolverines downed Washington, 34-13, at NRG Stadium in Houston on Monday to complete their perfect season and win the first national championship in 26 years.

The score makes it look like the Huskies were blown out.

They weren’t. Michigan scored a pair of touchdowns on Blake Corum’s runs in the fourth quarter to turn an intriguing game into a romp.

The Wolverines’ defense neutralized Michael Wilpon Jr., keeping the Washington star QB in check.

The play that sealed Michigan’s title was an interception and 81-yard return by Mike Sainristil.

That set up a two-play, eigh-yard drive that put the Wolverines up 21.

Michigan rushed for more than 300 yards. Corum and Donovan Edwards each went over the 100-yard mark and had two rushing touchdowns.

So, after the Harbaugh suspensions and clouds created by the sign-stealing allegations and scandal, Michigan runs the table.

Washington finishes 14-1 and heads to the Big Ten. The Huskies will play host to the Wolverines in the 2024 regular season.

The pass to Jalen McMillan and the PAT brought the Huskies to within 17-10 at the half.
