For the fourth time since 2005, Alabama and LSU were not able to determine a victor after four quarters. For all but two drives in regulation and one in overtime, Alabama quarterback Blake Sims was sub-pedestrian. However, much as he has all year, when the Tide needed Sims, he stepped up big. Sims, who had […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Straight, no chaser. Ohio State came into Michigan State’s house, sat down on the couch next to his girl, and started doing shots of whiskey with his arm around her while he sat across the room and fumed. Welcome to the playoff race, Ohio State. The Buckeyes wandered into […]

One of the defining characteristics of Kansas State football under head coach Bill Snyder is that the Wildcats are regularly in the right position. They might not be the most athletically imposing team in the Big 12 — in this or other seasons — but they mix ferocity with precision, applying pressure on their opponents. […]

EDITOR’S NOTE: When big games grace the calendar in either college football or college basketball, Student Section contributor and lead basketball writer Scott King will sometimes provide a “tweetcap,” a list of captured tweets that lend color and perspective to the events you just saw on television. This past Saturday in college football rated as […]
What if this moment had not occurred? What if Kaelin Clay had not DeSean Jacksoned against Oregon? Utah’s season was certainly a lot better than the previous two, but it still fell short of its potential. The haunting portions of a bounce-back season make this Las Vegas Bowl such an important moment for Utah and coach Kyle Whittingham.

Utah’s Travis Wilson connected with Kaelin Clay on what looked like a 78 yard TD play but Clay dropped the ball before he crossed the goal line. As Utah celebrated in the end zone, Oregon picked up the ball and ran 100 yards for a TD. Utah would have taken a 14-0 lead, instead Oregon […]

So far so good for Trevone Boykin and the TCU Horned Frogs as they are leading Kansas State in the third quarter. Check out this highlight from Boykin as he sprints for the end zone and goes airborne over the defense and flips into the end zone. Trevone Boykin drops back, takes off and FLIPS […]

I think Doug Gottlieb summed it up best when he retweeted this vine I took of Amari Cooper’s TD against LSU when he simply calls Cooper “next level”. He looks like a man among boys. Next.Level. RT

Great start for LSU against Alabama as they took a 7-0 lead on this great catch, with fantastic concentration, from Malachi Dupre.

Arizona State was a step ahead of Notre Dame for most of a warm Saturday afternoon. Being inhabitants of the desert, the Sun Devils knew how to handle the heat when Notre Dame uncorked a 28-0 run and came close to pulling off an all-time comeback. Arizona State has often allowed big games to slip away over the years. The Sun Devils’ ability to stabilize themselves in the final 6:37 of Saturday’s game showed that they’re made of sterner stuff, a reality created in large part by head coach Todd Graham.

The story of Arizona State’s once-lopsided, then perilously close, then numerically deceptive 55-31 win over Notre Dame on Saturday begins with a photo of Sun Devil Stadium: Two top-10 teams in November, playing for the right to stay in the College Football Playoff race — that setup alone should guarantee a packed house. However, this […]

The Auburn Tigers seemingly could do no wrong under Gus Malzahn but that might have ended today. First, Cameron Artis-Payne fumbled at the goal line when Nick Marshall wanted to pull the ball back on a read option. But the Tigers got the ball back and had plenty of time and great field position only […]

After a rough outing against Florida, the Georgia Bulldogs couldn’t be stopped against the Kentucky Wildcats as they scored 63 points. One of the big spark plugs for Georgia was true freshman return man Isaiah McKenzie, AKA The Human Joystick, who had a kickoff return for a TD to start the game and later added […]

Auburn set up for a field goal right before the end of the half. What could go wrong? Most, including myself, expected Auburn to cruise in this game but instead of being down 28-17 or 28-20 (if they missed the FG) they are now down 35-17 and might need some of that Auburn luck to […]

Thanks to its 48-14 thrashing of Oklahoma, it’s time to put Baylor back in the national championship conversation. Make no mistake about it: the Bears beat a very good Sooner team. Sure, OU has two losses, but both of those came against teams currently ranked in the top 10. More importantly, the Sooners could have […]
