FOX Sports Southwest reports that Gilbert is staying at UT and will graduate this spring, making him immediately eligible to compete for a starting job with the Mustangs. Had Gilbert transferred before finishing his undergraduate degree, he wouldn't have been available to… Full Story »

College Football on NBC &bull Feb 2, 2012
For those unfamiliar, Indiana high school quarterback Gunner Kiel committed to LSU in late December - after he had committed to then decommitted from the Indiana Hoosiers, mind you - before flipping his verbal Bayou commitment into early enrollment at Notre Dame.
