Football Field

American football, known in the United States and Canada simply as football is a competitive team sport known for mixing strategy with physical play. The objective of the game is to score points by advancing the ball into the opposing team’s end zone. The winner is the team with the most points when the time expires. Interestingly, in American football, the ball is seldom propelled by kicking. Instead, it is usually brought into the end zone by running or passing. Running the ball occurs when the football is passed to a player (also known as a “hand-off”) after which that player runs with the ball. This kind of play is often successful when the defense has its players a good distance away from the runner, or when the offense’s players manage to block the defensive players away from the player holding the ball. Passing in football simply means the ball is handed over from one offensive player to another. A pass is only considered “complete” when the player catches the ball. Balls that …

Colleges are honing their prospect lists and trying to seal the deals that will give their teams the razor-sharp edge it takes to win in the SEC. Players are weighing their options and looking for an opportunity to be the next “it” man in college football. And fans continue to ride the roller coaster that is recruiting season while they eagerly await the final results and pre-season rankings.

In total, the SEC currently has 4 teams in the top 10 recruiting rankings and a total of 7 in the top 25. As the “courting” continues in these final days, letters of intent are being prepared across the country and tough decisions are being made. The intensity of the process is ratcheted up more than a notch or two and that will continue right up to signing day. Are you one of those fans that remains glued to the monitor watching the machinations of the proc …

The objective of the game is to score points by getting the ball into the opposing team’s court, or end zone. The team who does this gets a touchdown, which is worth 6 points. After a touchdown, the team is afforded the chance to kick the ball through the goal posts to get an extra point.
