Game Time: Inside College Football

by Ted Kluck

In Game Time, you’ll meet a Big Ten walk-on who is the son of Harvard graduates, a former Heisman Trophy winner working in the inner city of New Orleans, an All-American dealing with the loss of his brother, and a running back who put the future of a program on his broad shoulders.  You’ll meet the winningest quarterback in college football history, a linebacker who played in the Game of the Century, and a recruiter with ethics.You’ll meet coaches struggling to stay afloat, a draft guru, and a handicapper who literally eats, sleeps, and breathes college football.  And you’ll get an inside look at events like the Senior Bowl and an NFL Pro Day, which literally make or break the futures of college players.What started as a collection of interviews ended as a journey through many of the good people who still make their living in college football.  It’s not an exhaustive history, nor is it a survey of college football’s biggest stars, but, like our author, it just might help you love the game again.In addition to writing for ESPN Magazine and Sports Spectrum, Kluck will get broadcast media coverage during game season, adding his refreshing color commentary to game days. No fan can be without this up-to-date insider’s look at the nation’s favorite sport.
