Dan Mullen has given new life to his career, putting together what is by far his best season as a head coach. Yet, a loss to Georgia Tech would leave a lot of national commentators saying that MSU was more a mirage than the picture of flesh and substance.

Neither Mississippi State nor Auburn impress at Jordan-Hare

0 comments by on 9/27/2015

What do you get when two teams that aren’t that good play? You get Saturday night’s Mississippi State-Auburn game. The only truly good element of the game was MSU quarterback Dak Prescott, who continued to be one of the smoothest operators in the SEC. Prescott threw for 270 yards and a pair of scores for […]

The Flea Tipper carries TCU… and teaches Kliff Kingsbury a lesson

You might recall a game played 18 years ago. A national title contender played a Big 12 road game. Then came Matt Davison, riding to Nebraska’s rescue against Missouri: That was 1997. The play was called “The Flea Kicker.” Nebraska went on to win a share of the national championship with Michigan. * That Nebraska-Missouri […]

Ain’t that a kick in the head: Texas boots away another game

0 comments by

Weren’t we here a week ago? In many ways, yes, but not in one fundamental way for the University of Texas and its football program. A week ago, Texas did lose a home game on a kicking-game calamity in the final minutes of regulation. However, the emergence of a potent offense and the new credibility […]

Will BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall turn the corner with his team this season?

BYU’s season looks very different after being thumped by Michigan

0 comments by

In the span of two games, BYU has gone from main-event dreams to an undercard reality. Saturday against Michigan the Cougars were beaten from pillar to post for the full 60 minutes. Time seems to finally have caught up to Bronco Mendehall and Co. After pulling out nearly impossible wins over Nebraska and Boise State, […]

Duke Defense Dominates, Drops Georgia Tech

After losing 10 straight games against Georgia Tech from 2004 through 2013, Duke has won two straight in this series, thanks to an unlikely source. Let’s be honest: when people think of a David Cutcliffe-coached team, the first thing that comes to mind is high-octane offenses. Whether it was with Peyton Manning at Tennessee, Eli […]

LSU’s win over Wisconsin and Auburn’s win over Kansas State did more to shape perceptions (and resumes) in the 2014 college football season than any other non-conference games. This point cannot be forgotten when a full account of the season is ultimately rendered.

WATCH: Leonard Fournette Continues to Run Wild

0 comments by

LSU’s Leonard Fournette had a monster game last week against Auburn where he ran and ran, then he ran and ran some more because he’s a running machine. Today, LSU is playing Syracuse. The Tigers decided to dial up a pass play. But even this pass play found a way to end up with a […]

Virginia has not beaten Virginia Tech since 2003, and the Cavaliers have defeated Frank Beamer’s boys only once since 1998. If Mike London can’t beat the Hokies now, he probably never will… because he won’t see the 2015 season as Virginia’s head coach.

Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus… And You Ignored Him

The story of the Boise State Broncos got more interesting on Friday night in Charlottesville, Virginia. A team with a new quarterback (Brett Rypien), due to an injury to the previous one (Ryan Finley), looked very strong in a road game played two time zones away from Idaho. However, it’s a little too early to […]

Big South Preview

Did you know the Southern Conference and the Big South Conference are two different conferences? You do now. While the Big South had a better average ranking in KenPom last season, the league is weaker at the top, with no top 100 teams last year and just two in the top 150. That’s part of […]

Uniform of the Week: Memphis wins second straight game in tiger stripes

0 comments by

The Memphis Tigers showed off their special tiger stripes chrome helmet for a Thursday night nationally televised contest. Perhaps by design, the Tigers wore their special helmets against Cincinnati, home to the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals. This can’t be a coincidence. The similarities are striking, from the stripe pattern on the helmet to the shoulder sleeve […]

In that game, the Sun Devils overwhelmed the USC defense and put a 62-41 beating on the Trojans. Last season, with Steve Sarkisian in control, USC was looking for revenge. It was […]
