(Associated Press)Everyone in Alabama seems to know what coach Nick Saban should have done to avoid a shocking upset loss to Texas A&M, including Alabama's governor.

Via The Paul Finebaum Radio Network's website, Gov. Robert Bentley was asked what he would have done late in the game when Alabama was inside the 10-yard line, looking to take the lead. On four plays inside the 10, Alabama handed the ball off to running back Eddie Lacy only once, which has drawn some second guessing. Quarterback A.J. McCarron threw an interception on fourth down.

"I would actually have run the ball for four straight times," he said.

(US Presswire)Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin meets with the media during every week, which isn't surprising. Most quarterbacks regularly meet the media.

But last Saturday, McGloin sounded off on a controversial call that cost the Nittany Lions a touchdown at Nebraska, and his midweek availability was scrapped.

Mississippi State's game against Arkansas on Saturday will be the Bulldogs' final home game and senior day. But one senior will be missing — linebacker Nick Bell.

Bell died in November of 2010 after a brief battle with cancer. Bell started in the first game of that season, the disease was discovered and six weeks later he had passed away.

("Sideline Guy" on TexAgs.com)We'd think the story of a Texas A&M fan getting past security and spending almost all of the Aggies' landmark upset of Alabama on the sideline was made up, but there's plenty of photographic proof on TexAgs.com.

There he is (he's "Sideline Guy," on the message board, of course, with no other identification) with former Heisman Trophy winner John David Crow, with the Alabama mascot, about an arm's length away from Johnny Manziel, standing a couple feet from the field as A&M lines up for a play.

Oh, and there he is running behind Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin as the team went to the locker room at halftime.

If it's a message board hoax, it's certainly well done at least.

Honestly, the story of how this fan spent the afternoon roaming the Texas A&M sideline is hilarious (and totally wrong, kids ... totally wrong, got it?).

Maryland hadn't known the word subtle when it came to uniforms - until this week.

(@darrenrovell)Under Armour introduced new "Black Ops" uniforms for Saturday's game against Florida State. The uniforms are black — almost entirely black — and have the Maryland flag in a different charcoal pattern on the shoulder pads and the helmet.

The numbers are yellow with Maryland in red across the front.

Maryland actually wore "White Ops" uniforms for a game at West Virginia earlier this season that weren't too bad, but these are definitely the best of the lot.

Never thought I'd say this about a Maryland uniform, but these are quite slick. They're bold, but unassuming and keep with the tradition of celebrating the state and the flag. Under Armour has really struggled with Maryland's uniforms, but these are definitely a home run.

The Heisman isn't supposed to be a popularity contest, but sometimes it shakes out that way and there's no more popular football player in the country right now than Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel.

Manziel (or Johnny Football) led Texas A&M to an improbable win against No. 1 Alabama and put the Aggies in a position to play for a BCS bowl. No one expected much out of A&M this year with a new coaching staff, new quarterback and new league, but Manziel has helped make the Aggies a relevant force in college football.

But is it enough to send the redshirt freshman to New York? Moreover, is it enough help him hoist the bronze statue?

There are still two games remaining in the season and Manziel, who has been stellar all year, just needs to keep doing what he's been doing. If the Aggies win out, then Manziel is going to New York. If he puts up numbers like he did against the Crimson Tide, it's going to be tough to vote against him.

A senior academics adviser for the Iowa athletic department is at the center of a scandal after being accused of trading football tickets and money for sexual favors from Iowa student-athletes.

Peter Gray, who resigned last Monday, had allegations of sexual misconduct made against him dating back to 1993. He left the Iowa athletic department in 1995 but was allowed to come back in 2002, and several more complaints were filed until his resignation. An Iowa internal investigation revealed that Gray's actions stemmed from inappropriate touching to keeping inappropriate material to asking Iowa student-athletes to perform sexual acts.

Gray also was found to have inappropriate photographs stored on his work computer, including two that involved individuals engaged in sex acts with toys or stuffed animals, numerous pictures of college-aged individuals posing in swimsuits and a few of individuals dressed in underwear, the document states.
