As of Sunday morning — September 27, 2015 — the college football season is still relatively young. A year ago, a wild September was followed by a stability-bearing October and a not-that-crazy November. The march to the first College Football Playoff certainly wasn’t free of clutter or controversy, but that controversy was mostly the making […]

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have gotten off to a 4-0 start in a rather peculiar way. Instead of relying upon their starting quarterback, starting running back, and other projected starters elsewhere, the Irish have had to relegate themselves to the arm of the previously unproven DeShone Kizer, and safety-turned-slot-receiver-turned-running back C.J. Prosise. Forget for […]

Yes, if you’re Vanderbilt or Mississippi State — with very few SEC football championships to your name (none for the Commodores, one for the Bulldogs, in 1941) — you have lived the most impoverished existence in the conference over the longest period of time. However, for certain programs at the end of September, life in […]

Friday in our roundtable discussion, we asked the question, “Which team will separate itself from the field in Pac-12 this weekend?” For those of you that didn’t read that article (but you should, as several of the things we predicted have come to pass), I picked UCLA and Utah to emerge as the top teams […]

Faced with a third and 11 on its own 25, Penn State’s defense — trying to prevent San Diego State from scoring — was hoping for a stop. However, the Nittany Lions got a lot more than that. The Penn State pass rush got after San Diego State quarterback Maxwell Smith, forcing a fumble. Defensive […]

Here’s one of the best runs of week four — and the season — by Georgia Southern’s Matt Breida, who looked like he was going to be stopped on a couple of different occasions. Georgia Southern RB’s dazzling TD rush http://t.co/1KeOPxy9Gx — Terry P. Johnson (@SectionTPJ)
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.

What do you get when two teams that aren’t that good play? You get Saturday night’s Mississippi State-Auburn game. The only truly good element of the game was MSU quarterback Dak Prescott, who continued to be one of the smoothest operators in the SEC. Prescott threw for 270 yards and a pair of scores for […]

Utah is pulling out all the stops as they take Oregon to the woodshed. On this play, a Utah player fakes like he is receiving a punt on one side of the field. All the Oregon players buy it. Meanwhile….another Utah player is receiving the punt on the other side of the field and he […]

You might recall a game played 18 years ago. A national title contender played a Big 12 road game. Then came Matt Davison, riding to Nebraska’s rescue against Missouri: That was 1997. The play was called “The Flea Kicker.” Nebraska went on to win a share of the national championship with Michigan. * That Nebraska-Missouri […]

Weren’t we here a week ago? In many ways, yes, but not in one fundamental way for the University of Texas and its football program. A week ago, Texas did lose a home game on a kicking-game calamity in the final minutes of regulation. However, the emergence of a potent offense and the new credibility […]

This is not the way it was drawn up, but this play was just as successful as it was intended to be. South Carolina receiver Pharoh Cooper turned a gadget play from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan in the Gamecocks’ win over UCF on Saturday afternoon:
