Morning Six Pack: March 24, 2013

Sippin’ on Sunday Brunch and reading six college football stories from around the country.

But in his three years at the helm in Miami, he's learned not to drown his team in a sea of praise, because increased expectations inevitably follow.

"We had a pursuit drill," Rutledge recalled. "The quarterback had to take the ball and roll out to the right or left, and every player on the defense had to put their helmet on him. We'd do that over and over."

Bryant was teaching gang tackling.

"Mal developed the nickname, 'Pursuit Man,'" Brooker said. "I always felt sorry for him."
