Scoring 60-plus points over a span of three quarters would appear highly unlikely, right? Well, don’t tell the Idaho Vandals (9-4). With 14:35 left in the second quarter of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Paul Petrino’s unit collected a mere 34 yards on offense against Colorado State (7-6), along with a trio of three-and-outs to […]

Amid the Wildcats’ run to a national title last season, head coach Jay Wright’s unit boasted tremendous defensive spurts.

Ranked No. 10 in the primary AP Top 25 Poll of the campaign, no one expected the Fighting Irish to be scrapping for a mediocre bowl game over its final two matchups. Yet again, though, Notre Dame (4-7) showed off its maddening inconsistency in a 34-31 loss to Virginia Tech (8-3) on senior day. Trailing 31-21 […]

Growing up on the Southside of Chicago, Kenny Golladay occasionally watched the White Sox play at then-U.S. Cellular Field. On Wednesday night, he grasped the opportunity to perform at the same site and flourished on Roger “Sodfather” Bossard’s work of art.

360 rushing yards. Georgia’s Nick Chubb and LSU’s Leonard Fournette combined to heavily bruise the opposition in Week 1, turning in impressive performances against North Carolina (222 yards) and Wisconsin (138 yards), respectively. While the cards are aligned for both to weave together boastful numbers in 2016, which SEC tailback will possess a royal flush […]

After playing in 109 contests in three seasons (2008-11), accumulating two appearances in the Final Four and one in the national title game, the 6-foot-8, 235-pounder developed chronic knee pain. Seeing that another […]
