College Football Week 15:

 

Navy defeated Army 17-13 in Saturday's  annual game.

 

Johnny Manziel, a redshirt freshman quarterback for Texas A&M, won the Heisman Trophy.

 

Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn began hiring his staff of assistant coaches with Ellis Johnson coming in as defensive coordinator.  Charlie Harbison from Clemson was also hired to assist Johnson.  Harbison has worked with Johnson at two former SEC schools, Alabama and Mississippi State.

 

Butch Jones will lead the Tennessee Volunteers as head coach, and defended his lack of SEC experience by noting at a press conference on Saturday that notables Nick Saban and Les Miles had "zero experience" too.

 

On a personal note and with opinion: Jerry Sandusky's lawyer released statements this week that Sandusky is looking for less severe prison accommodations and will be requesting less restrictive imprisonment.  Sandusky was convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys and was sentenced to 30 - 60 years in prison for his crimes.  Sandusky this isn't club med and you landed these accommodations for sexual abuse while in a position of authority with young boys.  Given the circumstances, perhaps punishment is what you should expect.
