North Dakota State beat No. 13 Iowa thanks to game-winning FG as time expires

0 comments by

For some reason, FBS teams continue to schedule North Dakota State. The Bison are an FCS dynasty, and have shown no problem in stepping up and taking on their supposedly superior FBS opponents. Entering today’s game with the No. 13 Iowa Hawkeyes, the Bison were 5-0 in their last five match ups with FBS teams. However, the Hawkeyes were […]

Rice’s marching band referenced Baylor sexual assault scandal in halftime performance

0 comments by on 9/16/2016

Rice’s marching band showed iffy judgment on this one. There are two ways to look at this.

That’s probably putting Baylor’s issues […]

0 comments by

The Houston Cougars overcame some costly mistakes to defeat the Cincinnati Bearcats 40-16, and proved that they’re a College Football Playoff contender.

No conversation about the College Football Playoff this week can start with anything other than the Big 12 in general and Oklahoma State in particular.

In front of a record-setting crowd of roughly 150,000 fans at Bristol Motor Speedway, Tennessee faced plenty of adversity in the first half of its matchup versus Virginia Tech.

0 comments by
