On the surface, it is exactly as it should be: In the featured ABC game at 8:07 Eastern time, Miami and Florida State — the schools who created college football’s most important game from 1987 through the 2004 […]

It’s not exactly a secret: Many people don’t like ESPN. This means many different things for various consumers and evaluators of ESPN content.

On Monday, I wrote about teams that are one-dimensional with quarterbacks. LSU has found itself in a rare spot. The offense for the Tigers is based on the rushing attack of one.
