You read that headline correctly. Pittsburgh tackle Ryan O’Neill scored on a “tackle around” to help the Panthers knot the score at 29.
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.

Here’s the latest installment of Terry’s Takes, which focuses on the coaching carousel this week. Jeff Tedford isn’t the answer for Fresno State Although he seems like the perfect fit (on paper) for Fresno State, Jeff Tedford should not be the Bulldogs’ next head coach. That’s not to say that Tedford isn’t a great coach. […]

It was an abbreviated docket for the ACC in week 8, as only eight of fourteen teams played last weekend. However, there was just enough action to warrant a few changes in this week’s standings. Here’s the latest installment of the ACC Power Rankings: 14. Boston College Although the Eagles kept it close against […]

The main story that any Playoff discussion will begin with this week is Ohio State’s loss to Penn State. The Buckeyes had major special teams issues and did not look good at all for much of the game, even if they controlled most of it. It ended in a loss, though, which will prompt much […]

It’s that time of year again! Time to start talking about the most prestigious individual trophy in sports, the Heisman Trophy. When the 2016 season started there were many “names” in contention for the trophy: Deshaun Watson, Christian McCaffrey, Leonard Fournette, Baker Mayfield, Dalvin Cook, Chad Kelly, JT Barrett, Nick Chubb, and Josh Rosen to […]

How would these events impact this week’s poll? Be sure to read below for the latest installment of the TSS Power 16 Poll. Rank Team […]

Three Top 25 vs Top 25 matchups were on the SEC slate this week. None of them turned out to be nail biters, but we learned a lot from each game. If you read my piece on the “Most Overrated Teams in the Top 25” last week, this will also be known as the apology […]

What a week in the Big 12. I think that Oklahoma/Texas Tech game had enough offense for the entire country, let alone the conference. Oklahoma’s poor defensive performance, along with another strong one from West Virginia, means there’s some shake-up at the top of the rankings. The bottom, of course, stayed the same. It always […]

The Utah Utes defeated the UCLA Bruins 52-45 to remain atop the Pac-12 South, showing that they’re ready for Washington next weekend. That’s not to say that the Utes were perfect in this contest. They weren’t. The defense allowed over 500 yards to a UCLA offense that was playing with a backup quarterback. Likewise, the […]

Alabama found themselves down in a football game for a change, and they decidedly didn’t care much for the feeling. After TAMU wide receiver Christian Kirk hauled in a Trevor Knight pass to make it 14-13, Aggies, the Crimson Tide went on a 20-point roll that’d not only (obviously) save their season, but one that […]

Well, we’re likely to know who the Big Ten West representative is by about 10 p.m. this time next week. Nebraska outlasted Purdue (score) after letting the Boilers, who got the “first game interim coach bump” with Gerad Parker getting his first game at the helm, setting up a season-defining tilt with Wisconsin (17-9 winners […]

Anyone who has read this spot for a few years (all 17 of you) knows that this isn’t a hotbed of columns about potential coaching changes. Many folks who write about college football are fairly cavalier about “hot seat” lists and the like, which is fine since people want to read it, but this spot […]

Every year, fans start out the season with unbridled enthusiasm for their college football team. Some teams surprise and others end up disappointing their fans. This list highlights the teams that have not lived up to their preseason expectations and whose fans have been delivering surrender cobra’s throughout social media during the 2016 season…. #5 […]

There is a new form of clickbait in the college football world. We see it, time and time again, across all manner of college football journalists and pundits. College football news and discussion outlets want us to expect it, because it’s an easy topic that everyone loves to listen and talk about. And, it needs […]
