Who should the Bruins bring in to help turn around the floundering team? Why hasn't Eric Bieniemy gotten a shot at a major program after decades of success as an NFL coordinator? With NFL officials unable to properly referee Jalen Hurts' nearly unstoppable “tush-push” play, should the league ban this rugby-like formation? And could Jake Retzlaff, who left BYU for Tulane after honor code violations, upset Lane Kiffin's Ole Miss squad amid disappearing traditional rivalries?
