Eli Manning in elite INT territory
After a five-interception performance against a dominant Seattle pass defense, Eli Manning now has 25 interceptions this season. The odds are extremely low, but it’s not impossible that he throws ten more interceptions and ties the modern record set by Vinny Testaverde in 1988. That year, a 25-year-old Testaverde threw 35 interceptions when the league average interception rate was 3.91%. Since Testaverde threw 466 passes that season, we could say that a league-average quarterback would have thrown 18.2 interceptions; therefore, Testaverde threw 16.8 interceptions over average that year.

Malzahn The Marionette - Out Of The Box - Rotoworld.com
The most improbable story of the 2013 college football season has to be the Auburn Tigers. If Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide is the well-oiled machine of college football, cross-state rival Auburn has been the roller coaster.

But Newton and Malzahn left, and by 2012 the Tigers were basement dwellers in the SEC West, leading to Gene Chizak’s firing and Malzahn’s return to Auburn – this time as head coach. Now, in Malzahn’s first year, and after several improbable finishes, the Tigers find themselves back in the national title game.

In the neighborhood of 6’5″, 204 lbs. and a stopwatch speed in the 40 around 4.35-4.4, there’s more to Washington than his Underwear Olympics portfolio that catches my attention.
