Oregon’s De’Anthony Thomas works his ‘Black Mamba’ magic (VIDEO)

Oregon all-everything back De'Anthony Thomas has been mentioned as a Heisman candidate and the above play shows you why. It's hard to find a player this dynamic in college football.

Let's just break this down for a second: Thomas lets the ball bounce and then picks it up with his back to his own end zone, which every punt returner knows not to do.. He breaks two tackles to get to the sideline and then he lets his blockers — and his speed — do the rest of the work.

This might be the play of the year in college football. if not, it's certainly right up there.

Did they have kindergarteners design their uniforms?

Those uniforms are awesome, and they are a large part of Oregon’s recruiting success. I can tell you that my 14 year old son who lives here in Ormond Beach wants to play for Oregon one day, and that desire was fueled at first completely by the uniforms. That’s a great program in Eugene.

the Buffaloes have fallen, fallen, fallen since the days of “Five Down” Bill McCartney. The uniforms are a result of Nike pressing its’ influence on college sports. Money doesn’t talk, it vomits.

Which makes more sense for the last game of the season?

Alabama vs. Oregon?

Alabama vs. Notre Dame?

I just don't see K State getting into the final game.
