0 comments by

Two immortal college football coaches — you can debate which one said it first — popularized the notion that three things can happen when you pass, and two of them are bad.

The Student Section’s Pick Six

Good morning, humans. We are at that weird part of the week when people are no longer coming down from the weekend high, yet no one is that excited about the weekend because it still feels so damn far away. Also, it kind of hurts the soul that there isn’t any college football games on […]

A coach, a quarterback, and a shared moment: Clemson stands in the spotlight

It’s true that as recently as the back end of the Charlie Weis era, Notre Dame football wasn’t particularly relevant.

Moving parts: The art of assessing a college football season

0 comments by

0 comments by

A top-10 team in the nation has two quarterbacks who fit their system like a glove and have produced an unblemished record heading into October.
