Michigan thumps UCF, hands Knights first loss of Frost era

Central Florida coach Scott Frost probably still has to pay triple for meals in Ann Arbor, and after a 51-14 pelting by the Michigan Wolverines Saturday afternoon, it’s clear Michigan is taking nothing for granted and UCF has a long way to go. It was 19 years ago when Michigan and Nebraska … quarterbacked by […]

Looking for an elite game in week 2? EWU and NDSU have your back

If ESPN was going hard to the hyperbole hoop in Week One with “Best Weekend Ever,” a slate of games featuring now AP Top 25 FBS teams in Week 2 should be dubbed “Best Weekend Ever … to do Yard Work.” But fear not, Pigskin heads, if you’re looking for at least one elite matchup […]

Watch: Linell Booker’s Amazing Catch

It looked like Houston was stopped. Oklahoma defenders were closing in on Greg Ward, and had forced him to throw the ball out of bounds. Or so we thought! Houston picked up the first down on this great grab by Bonner. This catch kept the drive alive and allowed the Cougars to take a 19-17 […]

Toledo Dominates Third Down, Defeats Arkansas State

Paced by a young, but talented defense and an efficient offense, Toledo defeated Arkansas State 31-10 on Friday night. Make no mistake about it: this is a big win for the Rockets. Sure, Toledo had won the last two meetings in this series, but the Red Wolves are a much better team this year. Given […]

Five under the radar Week 1 games you’ll want to keep an eye on

If it’s possible that anything college football related can go under the radar, please continue reading. The overall starvation level for football leads to major over-excitement and over-analysis of every game played before the first Saturday of the season. The truth likely is that Oregon State – Minnesota or South Carolina – Vanderbilt on Thursday […]

SEC Doomsday scenario far fetched but not impossible in 2016

Around the end of college football season, it could be, ahem, a chaotic time around these parts. “These parts” being “the entire United States of America.” So forgive us all if it sneaks up on us in the dark of night, but there’s a realistic scenario where the SEC would be forked out of the […]

In spite of all of the wins, Michigan State flies under the radar in 2016

You’ve got to hand it to sports media. No one does a better job not  bothering with reality in search of clicks and attention that fits their agenda, which is clicks and attention. So as an annual rite of summer and fall, Michigan State football isn’t being talked about much, mostly because they don’t garner […]

Why the lower attendance in college football? And does it even matter?

The last time Nebraska didn’t sell out a football game, John F. Kennedy was living in the White House, and “Stranger on the Shore” by Acker Bilk was the top song in the land. It’s been 347 games, most of which have come with the Cornhuskers in national contention for something. It’s 347 games that […]

Get ready. Michigan will meet the hype in 2016.

Hype is a funny thing. It completely and totally influences one’s personal beliefs and slants them in one direction before they ever experience what the hype is about. Observe your own thought process when someone says, “let’s go to Restaurant X to eat. They seriously have the best burgers in the state.” At that point, […]

Stidham, Baylor make the right call on transfer decision

Whatever road there is back to normalcy for Baylor, be it long or be it short, will be done sans quarterback Jarrett Stidham in what may prove to be one of the seminal moments in Bear football futures as he was officially released from the school on Monday after declaring his intention to transfer earlier […]

Arkansas the latest victim of the ole early scheduling craze

So … what’re you doing in 7 years? If you think that sounds preposterous to have to answer, you’re probably in the camp that finds it preposterous when “news breaks” about college football titans scheduling games years in advance. The ensuing five minutes of buzz wears off when you realize that you’ll be gray with bad […]

Top five underrated running backs heading into 2016 college football season

In an era where throwing the football has revolutionized the game, many would argue that the running back position has taken a backseat to more flashy offensive firepower in college football.
