Texas needs more than a Strong coach; it needs patience

0 comments by

Texas. The state, the name, the university — they’re all shaped by football. The sport is so ingrained into the fabric of life for many Texans that it’s completely realistic to expect the flagship university in the state to be consistently excellent, or at least very good, in the province of pigskin. Texas — the […]

We are… waiting to see what James Franklin does at Penn State.

We Are… Not Good: Penn State gets its bell rung by Temple

0 comments by on 9/5/2015

In week one of a season, it’s never a good idea to lose. It’s especially not a good idea to lose when you’re Penn State and the other team is Temple. The Nittany Lions hadn’t lost to Temple in 39 games. The Blue and White had not suffered a defeat against the Philadelphia foe since […]

Auburn and Louisville face QB questions after the Tigers’ narrow win

0 comments by

Auburn and Louisville are in similar situations: quarterback play will likely determine how far each respective squad goes. Yet, on Saturday in the season opener for these teams, a peculiar thing happened: Auburn won not because of quarterback play, but in spite of it. Louisville got the better of the battle at that one position […]

This is a pass play that developed into a quarterback scramble. It’s an appropriate visual for a team that needed rushing yards far more than passing yards last season.

WATCH: Bowling Green Defender Plays Dead

That’s one way to get off the field. One very funny and creative way.

Stanford coach David Shaw has lost games with his decisions in the past. On Saturday, he won because an opposing coach made a poor decision in a tipping-point moment.

Questions aplenty for Stanford after upset loss

It is in the nature of college football teams to not show their very best in the first game of the season. Rust. Nerves. Uncertainty about the ways in which lineups will or won’t mesh. Replacing lots of new starters. Seeking continuity against an opponent, not just your own players in training camp. No one […]

WATCH: Kansas loses in new, horrifying (hilarious) fashion

0 comments by

Kansas was trying to mount a late rally to tie or take the lead against South Dakota State. With time winding down, they needed to spike the ball for clock purposes. This happened: That’s right, they fumbled the snap trying to spike it, then fell on the ball to kill the clock. On a day […]

It all Fitz together for Northwestern in an upset of Stanford

0 comments by

While most FBS college football teams went the cupcake route in week one — as is standard practice in the industry — the Northwestern Wildcats and Stanford Cardinal decided to tackle a challenge in week one. This approach naturally invites risks, chief among them the distinct possibility that if you’re sloppy or nervous or timid […]

Your Week 1 College Football Uniform Briefing

0 comments by on 9/4/2015

Ordinarily in this weekly segment our goal will be to highlight one particular uniform to be worn during the college football season that specific week. However, this week is going to be a little different. There are far too many uniforms to discuss on the opening weekend, so I have chosen three uniforms to point […]

Thoughts, Observations, and Things to Watch Heading Into Week 1

0 comments by

The first full weekend of college football season is finally upon us!! Here are some thoughts, observations, and things to keep in mind for week one. Can Will Muschamp turn things around immediately at Auburn? While some people think it might take time, it’s worth noting that Gus Malzahn transformed the Tiger offense into a […]

Utah Beats Michigan, Thrives Under New Coordinators

0 comments by

Throughout the offseason, people wondered how Utah would do this fall after losing both coordinators. If Thursday night’s performance is any indication, the answer is “just fine.” That’s not to say that the Utes were perfect. The Utah pass rush – which led the nation in sacks last year – failed to produce one against […]

TCU wins ugly… and that’s a good thing

In terms of style, college football’s season premieres fell with a thud. Ugliness infested gridirons across the land and reared its head throughout a messy Thursday night. North and South Carolina couldn’t get out of their own way for much of their game. Utah State needed an eternity to finally outlast Southern Utah (12-9 was […]
