It doesn’t seem that long ago that the rest of the nation was grave dancing on the diminished success of the Big Ten. Conference pack mentality had taken over college football with the advent of the BCS and the brilliant marketing of mainly the SEC. The victim was the Big Ten, which could “only” point […]

Two weeks in, the broad generalization is that it could be a down year for a conference normally in the discussion for best in the country. There are still teams we know very little about, specifically Oregon and Washington, but some of the early results by much of the conference doesn’t trend to anything nice. […]

There are two weeks in the books and a whole lot to boil down, especially in the Big 12. Let’s just start by saying that, very early on, the conference is on the outside looking in as far as the Playoff is concerned. Then again, that was also true of the Big Ten in 2014, […]

We are now two weeks into the season and we’re getting a much better feel for the landscape of the Big Ten. There have been some mild surprises already in the young season, and there’s sure to be more. Here’s a look at five things we learned after week two in the heartland: 5. Don’t […]

I’m deeply disappointed in how most major media outlets are handling Central Michigan’s upset over Oklahoma State. Instead of complaining about the officiating, they should have given the Chippewas credit for winning the game. Make no mistake about it: the botched call was certainly a story. By rule, Central Michigan should not have received an […]

Arizona State put up a ton of offense to beat Texas Tech 68-55. Kallen Ballage was the star with 13 carries for 137 yards with 7 TD (that’s better than 1 TD for every 2 times he touched the ball) and he also had 2 receptions for 48 yards with 1 receiving TD. I think […]

In front of a record-setting crowd of roughly 150,000 fans at Bristol Motor Speedway, Tennessee faced plenty of adversity in the first half of its matchup versus Virginia Tech. However, the Volunteers’ defense flipped the game script and possibly produced a season-altering play for head coach Butch Jones’ bunch. With 14:29 left in the second […]

Even the most casual college football fan knows the saying “defense wins championships”. The Utah Utes proved this point in their 20-19 win over BYU. Make no mistake about it: the Ute defense deserves more than a few helmet stickers for the way it played on Saturday night. The defense got the team on the […]

If they gave the Heisman Trophy out after two weeks of football, Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen would have a nice prize to go along with his bumps and bruises Saturday night in a stirring 41-38 victory over top-15 Texas Christian at their place. Allen wouldn’t be denied on the last play. Down three, on third down, […]

Arkansas gave up a late TD to TCU and went down by 8 points. Austin Allen led Arkansas down the field and they quickly scored a TD to go down 2 points. Then Arkansas pulled out a double-reverse pass back to Austin Allen to tie up the score with a minute left in the fourth […]

September 10, 2016 wasn’t a good day for beloved coaches of their alma mater who’ve been annually coveted by other teams but have opted to stay close to home. Granted, that pool isn’t necessarily a large one, but for Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State and Pat Fitzgerald of Northwestern, the bitterness will last a solid […]

Tre’Davious White did exactly what you aren’t supposed to do on this punt return. He took the ball and went the wrong way. Then he nearly got gang-tackled but somehow he survived. He got to the sideline and then he put on the jets and made what looked like a disaster into a TD…… This […]
