Every week, Phil Harrison looks back on football action in the heartland to provide you with five key points we learned after B1G play on the gridiron.   The curtain has fallen on four weeks now in the Big Ten. Believe it or not, that means the season is about one-quarter of the way through […]

Week 4 CFP Implications: Separation Starts

0 comments by

The college football world loves finding “separation Saturdays” during the season. While there are some Saturdays that see more separation than others, basically every Saturday once conference play starts has some major shakedowns in the College Football Playoff race, whether those are what we expect to see or not. Week 4 didn’t have too many […]

Big 12 Football: 5 Things We Learned in Week 4

0 comments by

We didn’t find out so much about the Big 12 this week, well, because not so much happened in the Big 12 this week. One high-profile game, delayed by lightning, took place Saturday night. Other than that, we didn’t see many games, which is okay. The lack of learning much about the league tells us […]

Firing Brian VanGorder after four games makes absolutely no sense

0 comments by

Brian Kelly’s decision to fire Brian VanGorder four games into the season makes absolutely no sense. That’s not to say that the defense has been perfect this season. It hasn’t been. After four games, Notre Dame ranks 126th nationally in sacks, 108th in tackles for a loss, 103rd in total defense, and 96th in rushing […]

0 comments by on 9/25/2016

So hey, I’ve got some good news and I’ve got some bad news. The bad news is, a quarter of the college football season is over. That’s right, we’re 25 percent of the way (for most teams) to losing “I’ve got to watch the game, honey” as an excuse for not getting anything done on […]

Les Miles the latest casualty of the Saban Effect

0 comments by

It reads either like some doomsday movie or some odd scientific theory, but it’s just claimed another pelt in Les Miles of LSU: The Saban Effect. LSU let go of Miles after just over 12 years at the place, leaving behind a 114-34 record overall, including 62-28 in an SEC West that grew from simply […]

Michigan throttles Penn State in tale of teams on divergent paths

0 comments by on 9/24/2016

Michigan thrashed utterly out-manned Penn State 49-10 in front of a raucous home crowd Saturday afternoon, giving the first real glimpse to just how frightening Michigan can be … and just how much ground PSU has to make up on their way back to elitism. From the opening jump, when PSU got the ball deep […]

“Hey, Big 12! We’re really good!” — The message BYU wants to send in its bowl game, even though the Big 12 won’t expand next year or the year after that. BYU is trying to plant seeds that will sprout several years down the line.

Watch: Taysom Hill hurdles defender for first down

0 comments by

Although some in the media have suggested there’s a quarterback controversy at BYU, Taysom Hill has the job because of his uncanny ability to make plays. Just look at what he did here. Facing a third and 11, he pulled the ball down and ran for a first down. At the end of the run, […]

USC is in trouble. That’s the headline.

Even on the lousiest day a person has, if you really want to be overly optimistic, “well, I woke up I guess.” Southern Cal (USC) lost to Utah to drop to 1-3 on the season Saturday morning (if you fancy yourself some Eastern Standard Time) and unfortunately for the program, they may be next on […]

Clay Helton makes the right move by starting Sam Darnold

0 comments by on 9/22/2016

Clay Helton is making the right move by starting Sam Darnold at quarterback this weekend. That’s not to say that Max Browne deserves the blame for the Trojans’ 1-2 record. Sure, he struggled against Alabama, but so do most quarterbacks not named Chad Kelly, Johnny Manziel, or Cardale Jones. Yet, Browne rebounded from that rough […]

Pac 12 Football: Five Thoughts from Week 3

0 comments by on 9/20/2016

For this week’s version of “thoughts,” we’re going with questions, because right now there are more questions than there are answers. That’s usually how college football rolls until the end of the season and it use to be, beyond. There may be no more curious conference in the land, though, than the Pac-12 Is USC […]
