NCAA Football Betting Lines

02/15/2012 - New Haven, CT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - First-year Yale head football coach Tony Reno announced on Wednesday his nine-man assistant coaching staff, which has a combined 128 years of experience.

Only defensive coordinator Rick Flanders returns from last year's staff. He is entering his 16th season at Yale and has been on the staffs of the Bulldogs' last three head coaches. He also will coach the linebackers.

Former Massachusetts head coach and offensive coordinator Kevin Morris will run the Bulldogs' offense.

The other coaches are Joe Conlin (associate head coach/run game coordinator/offensive line), Larry Ciotti (assistant head coach/running backs), Kevin Cahill (special teams coordinator/wide receiver), Dwayne Wilmot (recruiting coordinator/defensive line), Steve Vashel (defensive backs), Kris Barber (tight ends) and Drew Petzing (outside linebackers).

"I am very excited about this group of men," Reno said. "They combine a tough and disciplined approach with an ability to mentor and mold our players."

Yale finished 5-5 last season.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
