We didn’t find out so much about the Big 12 this week, well, because not so much happened in the Big 12 this week. One high-profile game, delayed by lightning, took place Saturday night. Other than that, we didn’t see many games, which is okay. The lack of learning much about the league tells us […]

Brian Kelly’s decision to fire Brian VanGorder four games into the season makes absolutely no sense. That’s not to say that the defense has been perfect this season. It hasn’t been. After four games, Notre Dame ranks 126th nationally in sacks, 108th in tackles for a loss, 103rd in total defense, and 96th in rushing […]

So hey, I’ve got some good news and I’ve got some bad news. The bad news is, a quarter of the college football season is over. That’s right, we’re 25 percent of the way (for most teams) to losing “I’ve got to watch the game, honey” as an excuse for not getting anything done on […]

It reads either like some doomsday movie or some odd scientific theory, but it’s just claimed another pelt in Les Miles of LSU: The Saban Effect. LSU let go of Miles after just over 12 years at the place, leaving behind a 114-34 record overall, including 62-28 in an SEC West that grew from simply […]

With their victory over Arkansas on Saturday night, the Texas A&M Aggies proved that they’re a top 10 team. That’s not to say that the Aggies were perfect. They weren’t. The passing game got off to a slow start, completing just four of 11 attempts in the first half. The defense also struggled for most […]

With their backs at their own end zone, the Colorado Buffaloes came up with a defensive stand to remember. Check out this game winning interception as Colorado beats Oregon for the first time since 1998…. HUGE INTERCEPTION by Witherspoon – Buffs lead Ducks 41-38 with 44 seconds remaining

Louisville comes out firing again! Lamar Jackson hit James Quick for a 71 yard TD against Marshall in the opening minutes. Look at how open Quick is! Jackson to Quick https://t.co/bZj3632ZyI — Kevin Causey (@CFBZ)

Fueled by a second half rally, the Tennessee Volunteers defeated the Florida Gators 38-28 to take sole possession of first place in the SEC East. Make no mistake about it: this was an impressive victory for Tennessee. Although the Volunteers came into this contest undefeated, many in the media didn’t think the team was all […]

Michigan thrashed utterly out-manned Penn State 49-10 in front of a raucous home crowd Saturday afternoon, giving the first real glimpse to just how frightening Michigan can be … and just how much ground PSU has to make up on their way back to elitism. From the opening jump, when PSU got the ball deep […]

The Vols have come roaring back against the Florida Gators. Jauan Jennings toasted his defender on this play and then almost lost the pass out of bounds but recovered and ran for the go-ahead TD… Vols 67 yd TD https://t.co/ExBOTyWG2f — Kevin Causey (@CFBZ)
“Hey, Big 12! We’re really good!” — The message BYU wants to send in its bowl game, even though the Big 12 won’t expand next year or the year after that. BYU is trying to plant seeds that will sprout several years down the line.

Although some in the media have suggested there’s a quarterback controversy at BYU, Taysom Hill has the job because of his uncanny ability to make plays. Just look at what he did here. Facing a third and 11, he pulled the ball down and ran for a first down. At the end of the run, […]

Well that was easy. This was supposed to be the week where the Wisconsin Badgers got declawed and stuffed as it came back down to Earth. After all, LSU was overrated right? And of course, struggling against FCS opponent Georgia State was surely a sing of things to come. Just wait until the Michigan State […]

After a soul-crushing loss against Alabama last weekend, you had to wonder what you’d see from Ole Miss against Georgia. Would the Rebels listen to a lot of the media – which wants to repeat ad nauseam that the team blew two 20-point leads this year – or would it play like a team that […]

The Utah Utes rallied back from a two-touchdown deficit in the third quarter to defeat USC 31-27. This victory proves that the team has what it takes to win the Pac-12 South title. Make no mistake about it: this is an impressive win for the Utes. Yes, it looks like the Trojans are in big […]

Even on the lousiest day a person has, if you really want to be overly optimistic, “well, I woke up I guess.” Southern Cal (USC) lost to Utah to drop to 1-3 on the season Saturday morning (if you fancy yourself some Eastern Standard Time) and unfortunately for the program, they may be next on […]
