certainly be among the favorites to win it all in 2013 and deliver its fourth BCS National Championship in five years.

Though questions remain on the offensive line, Alabama should have enough firepower at the skill positions to Arkansas expect a more prolific attack in 2013. The defense, which Tennessee features a few new faces sprinkled throughout the unit, LSU should still be one of the best in the nation. Ultimately, if @Mississippi State the Crimson Tide can get past Texas A&M on Sept. 14, the Chattanooga schedule sets up to be smooth sailing all the way to the SEC @Auburn Championship Game and, just maybe, the BCS title game.

up front, a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate at quarterback and weapons that can populate open areas of the field.

The defense, however, requires some development up front and steadier tackling on the back end. Fortunately for OSU, four of the first five games are at home, and the pieces should be in place by the time the team heads into a crucial November that includes road trips to three Big Ten schools. Ohio State looks formidable on paper, and the hunger to return to a high-profile bowl is evident, but the coaches are concerned that too much leadership has walked out the door.

took over in 2009, with the Helfrich era kicking off and the Ducks looking to regain their throne after failing to win a fourth consecutive conference championship in 2012.

They “settled” for their second straight BCS bowl victory, Washington State over Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl, but the departure of UCLA Kelly to the NFL a few weeks later made 2013 a potentially @Stanford historic transition year for the program. The promotion Utah of Helfrich was intended to maintain momentum, and he @Arizona managed to keep the bulk of the coaching staff and the Oregon State recruiting class together.

David Shaw, the Pac-12’s Coach of the Year in both 2011 and ’12. What Jim Harbaugh, Toby Gerhart and Andrew Luck started, Shaw has taken to the next level by leading the Cardinal to the 2012 Pac-12 championship — the school’s first since 1999 — and topping Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. The Cardinal will once again be in the hunt for the Pac-12 title, thanks to their run-based pro-style offense that grinds out yards and a defense that has been among the best in the league in recent years.

the program to the next level and win a national championship. But Georgia’s schedule is much harder than it was last year, and with three potential top-10 teams in the first month, the season may be decided on two things: Whether @Vanderbilt the defense can start the season off at least being serviceFlorida able and whether the offense can be as good as last year.

Appalachian State If the answer to both questions is yes, then the Bulldogs @Auburn should be back in Atlanta in December, hoping the third Kentucky time is a charm for winning the SEC title. @Georgia Tech

and the school’s first top-five finish since 1956, Manziel is aiming even higher in 2013. He fully realizes that the Aggies must replace numerous key starters from a year ago and manage unprecedented expectations as one of the SEC West’s new powers. But Manziel and the Aggies have set their sights on a national title. That may be a tall task with an extremely inexperienced defense, but Manziel is already accustomed to overcoming long odds.

has a chance for a special season. If Spurrier can manage the Shaw-Thompson rotation and get positive results from Davis, who certainly doesn’t have to be the next Lattimore in his first year as a starter, then the Gamecocks’ offense has a chance to be better than it was the past two seasons, when they leaned on their defense and the offense ranked No. 82 and 74 nationally in yards per game.

in the top 10 in every preseason poll. Swinney believes he can bring the program’s second national title back to Death Valley. Is this the year? That remains unclear. But with a solid base of talent returning, Clemson fans have sky-high expectations. “I’m proud of what we have done, but there is so much more to do,” Swinney says. “We have realized some accomplishments that haven’t been done here in 20 or 30 years, but we have higher goals. This is a program that has the resources, the tradition, the fan support, the overall infrastructure to compete for the national championship.”

better in more facets of the game in 2013 but fail to duplicate last year’s magical, unscathed run to the national title game. The Irish face another challenging schedule that includes Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Arizona State, USC, Pittsburgh, BYU and Stanford.

The Irish are a deeper team with a year of success upon which to build. Anything shy of 10 wins will be a disappointment.

longest drought since 1951-63. A forgiving schedule should make the task more manageable this year, with all but two (Michigan State and Northwestern) of its toughest games slated for Michigan Stadium, where U-M is 14–0 under Brady Hoke. The emergence of Gardner should help Indiana @Michigan State stabilize the offense, and there are playmakers on defense.

the program back on track, winning at least nine games in each of his five seasons and playing for a conference title three times. But the Huskers have yet to win a conference championship, and they’ve lost their last three bowls. The schedule sets up well, with eight home games and no Ohio State or Wisconsin in Big Ten interdivisional play.

The Huskers could well be 8–0 going to Michigan in early November.

BOISE STATE The Broncos should be much improved on offense and

leaving only 10 starters returning in 2013. The cupboard isn’t bare for Les Miles, but the Tigers are behind Alabama and Texas A&M in the SEC West pecking order. LSU won’t abandon its run-first approach on offense, but Cameron, the new coordinator, is tasked with getting more production from Mettenberger. The defense has plenty of young talent and will get better as the season progresses.

However, there will be an adjustment period with the departure of six key linemen, an All-SEC linebacker and two starters in the secondary.

favorites. All the question marks and a rugged schedule that includes trips to Notre Dame and Kansas State as well as rival Oklahoma State create a major challenge for a team in transition.

Oklahoma remains a contender, surely capable of claiming another conference crown — there’s plenty of talent on the roster — yet the Sooners seemingly need so much to go right on both sides of the ball to hang another championship banner.

with a schedule that features road games at USC, Stanford and Oregon. Hundley will be better as a sophomore, but the Bruins need to find a replacement for Franklin. The defense, which returns five starters, has room to improve after giving up 415.9 yards per game last year. The Bruins could be a better team, yet fail to repeat as division champs.

NORTHWESTERN Northwestern finally put its bowl bugaboo in the rear-view

mirror, and with most of its core pieces back from a 10-win team, the next step is to compete for a Big Ten championship. Although Fitzgerald has elevated the program in seven years, he’s still looking for his first league title as a coach.

The offense should be explosive if the line comes together in the preseason, as Mark provides the run threat Northwestern lacked for years. The defense boasts more speed, athleticism and playmakers like Scott, Ariguzo, VanHoose and Campbell. Special teams once again should be very strong.

WISCONSIN New UW coach Gary Andersen needed only four

seasons to transform Utah State’s football program from dysfunctional to dynamic. Last season the Aggies won 11 games and secured the school’s first bowl victory in 19 years, and in the process passed Utah and BYU to take over the No. 1 spot in the state.

USC Kiffin is feeling considerable heat after 2012’s disappointing 7–6 finish for a team some ranked No. 1 nationally heading into the season. Now he has the unenviable task of trying to return to prominence with an inexperienced quarterback, a major question mark at left tackle and a defense that could be vulnerable in the secondary.

OREGON STATE The Beavers started strong and reached the Alamo Bowl Oct 19 Oct 26 Nov 1 Nov 16 Nov 23 Nov 29

Johnny Manziel

Position: Quarterback | School: Texas A&M | Vitals: 6-2, 230, Soph.

Manziel threw for 3,706 yards and 26 touchdowns last season, while rushing for 1,410 yards and 21 more touchdowns. However his odds to become only the second player to win the Heisman more than once are at stake with the NCAA investigating whether he took money for autographs. It will be interesting to see if he’s able to keep his emotions in check on and off the field with all the pressure and hype.

This should help McCarron post more impressive statistics in addition to the victories, making him a Heisman threat.

THE BITE TOUR’S THE TAILGATE TOUR

SUMMER SUMMER GRILLING TIPS GRILLING TIPS

By Barry ‘CB’ Martin

PREPARING GREAT BURGERS: Everyone has a favorite, but I use coarse-ground chuck – coarse because it holds together better and chuck because it has great flavor. And no more than 15% fat or watch out for flare-ups. Or even get leaner beef and add a bit of olive oil. Form the patties and season them to taste … then fold the meat over and press it back into patty shapes. Now the seasoning is on the inside which will evenly distribute the flavors.

PREPARING SUCCULENT STEAKS: Beef cuts with marbled fat throughout are best for grilling over direct high heat. If I pay for prime or choice, I want to taste the meat, not a marinade. So I like a light sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and sea salt. If you must marinate, remember that acids in citrus or vinegar tenderize the meat. Marinades with sugar will quickly burn so keep an eye on them. Sear steak at high heats then finish the grilling at a lower temp, and let your steak rest for about ten minutes before slicing it … that keeps every bite juicy.

PREPARING BETTER CHICKEN: Buy the best quality you can afford, and fresh is best.

Never let it reach room temperature, but try to avoid putting ice-cold chicken on the grill because that interferes with proper cooking. If you don’t brine your bird, then I recommend only a light seasoning of ground pepper and kosher or sea salt. You can also lightly spray chicken with canola oil to prevent sticking. Apply sauces and glazes during the final minutes of cooking … the same may be true for dry rubs because spices can burn when exposed to high temperatures.

PREPARING VEGGIES AND FRUIT: Either requires little prep and are delicious sides or desserts for your tailgating party. If you’re grilling with infrared, set it at medium-high. Brush whole or wedged veggies with olive oil to promote sear marks, then finish at lower temps. Turn every minute or two until fork-tender.

For fruit, oil the grate to keep it from sticking. Slice peaches or plums in half and remove pits, then grill pulp side down, turning once (takes no more than 5 minutes, don’t let it get mushy). Slice bananas or pineapple lengthwise and place directly on grill.

SMOKED TURKEY

By Myron Mixon

We go to my wife’s family’s Thanksgiving dinner every year and it’s one of my rare days off from cooking, but the truth is that I love to smoke turkey and I don’t believe in waiting for Thanksgiving to enjoy it. It’s an excellent way to feed a crowd at any celebration. And I believe dark meat and white meat are equally delicious so I make sure I get some of both.

Encourage your guests to do the same. And if you’ve never considered it before, you might try pulling the meat off the bird the same way you would when making pulled chicken to have pilled turkey sandwiches. They’re good, too.

Serves 10 to 12 1

3 4 1 2

12- to 15-pound turkey, neck and giblets removed 8 cups chicken broth medium white onions, diced cloves garlic, crushed cup (packed) dark brown sugar cups Jack’s Old South Huney Muney Cluck Rub, or 1 recipe Basic Chicken Rub (page 20)

Rinse the turkey inside and out, and pat it dry thoroughly. Place the turkey in a large roasting bag, and add the chicken broth, onions, garlic, and brown sugar. Tie the bag to seal it and place it in a large roasting pan.

Allow the turkey to marinate this way in the refrigerator overnight,

When you are ready to cook the turkey, heat a smoker to 250° F. Remove the turkey from the bag, and discard the marinade. Apply the rub all over the bird. Put the turkey on a rack in a large, deep aluminum pan, place the pan in the smoker, and cook for 5 hours or until the breast meat reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. Remove the pan from the smoker.

Allow the turkey to rest, loosely covered with foil, for 30 minutes.

Then carve the turkey, and serve immediately.

SMOKED CABBAGE

By Myron Mixon

This side dish is perfect to cook when you’ve already got your smoker going.

You can easily prepare the head of cabbage and toss it on right along with the meat you’re smoking and time it so that the main course and its side will be ready at the same time. Smoked cabbage is like a cross between cole slaw and sauerkraut, with a great smoky flavor.

Makes 4 servings 1 1 1 1 1 1

head green cabbage tablespoon salt teaspoon black pepper teaspoon garlic powder teaspoon onion powder stick (1/2 cup) butter

Using a sharp knife, core the cabbage, carving out the tough white bottom. Rinse the cored cabbage and pull off any wilted leaves.

Sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder into the hollowed center.

Place the stick of butter inside the center, where the core was removed and over the spices you just sprinkled.

Wrap the head of cabbage in aluminum foil so that the core end is up. Using more foil, form a base to keep the cabbage upright.

Place the wrapped cabbage on the smoker to cook with the other items you’ll be serving it with. Let cook for 4 to 6 hours, until the cabbage is soft. Unwrap and discard any blackened leaves. Cut into quarters and serve alongside the smoked meat of your choice.
