Speed and quickness cannot be taught, but size can. But even if a player bulk up for a “size” position during the off-season, mass can certainly be deleted with all the in-season training and stress of game playing.

It’s only week 3 of the college football season but already some teams have bye weeks and, of course, the Ivy League teams have yet to start.

The Temple Owls were unable to build on their season opening upset win over Vanderbilt and fell to Navy 31-24 at Lincoln Financial Field as the Midshipmen’s powerful rushing attack amassed 487 yards and four touchdowns.

Widener University quarterback Seth Klein threw a pair of first half touchdowns while Rowan committed seven turnovers and fell to the Pride in the season opener for both teams 19-7 at Coach Richard Wackar Stadium in Glassboro.

It starts Friday night when Rowan, ranked 15th in Division III, will host Widener at Coach Richard Wackar Stadium at 7.

You have 22 guys that are not going to make the team.” — Eagles second-year head coach Chip Kelly after the preseason finale against the Jets.
