In a year they’d like to forget, Texas State went 3-9 in 2015. They made a coaching change and brought on Everett Withers as their head man. The Bobcats desperately wanted to get off to a win in game one of 2016 against Ohio. In the battle of the Bobcats, Texas State broke out this […]

Two years ago the Wisconsin Badgers controlled the first half against an LSU team that was thought to have far more talent than the team from the brats and beer belt. And then things turned south faster than a snowbird trying to beat a snowstorm in early winter as the Tigers wrestled the game away […]

Georgia seemed to be in control of their game with the North Carolina Tar Heels and took a 14-10 lead into half-time. One play changed all of that as T.J. Logan took the opening kick-off of the second half to the house. Here’s a look at T.J. Logan as he makes some nice moves and […]

Former Oklahoma Sooners QB Trevor Knight is now the QB at Texas A&M. In his first game it took him a while to get going but in the third quarter he has a run for a TD and this pass for a TD that put the Aggies up 24 to 9 against UCLA….. Touchdown Aggies! […]

Mississippi State was worse than bad. The projections for the Bulldogs were way down from the last few years, but the display of mediocrity put on by State was as poor as could be. Against a South Alabama team that was preseason #7 in the Sun Belt, the Bulldogs surrendered a 17-0 halftime lead, gave […]

Is it possible for a team outside of the Power 5 conferences to play its way into the College Football Playoff? The Houston Cougars will have the experts trying to answer this question all season long after they throttled Oklahoma on Saturday afternoon. Make no mistake about it: this was an impressive win for the […]
Urban Meyer, a superstar head coach and a national figure in college football, spoke at Big Ten Media Days on Monday in Chicago. Big Ten Network did not provide live coverage of his session with the media. ESPN deserves plenty of criticism for how it elevates the SEC and undercuts the levels of exposure it gives to conferences such as the ACC and Big 12. However, when BTN can’t provide live coverage of Meyer, Mark Dantonio, and the coaches of its other big-name programs, the collection of factors that feed into conference bias becomes a lot more complicated. It’s not just about ESPN loving the SEC too much; it’s about BTN and Pac-12 Networks being markedly inadequate when covering their own conferences. Conference bias is, in other words, a two-way street and a multi-source problem. ESPN’s competitors have to do a better job.

Game one is in the books in Columbus, and it was an avalanche of Scarlet and Gray. Here are five things we can take away from a record-setting offensive output by the Buckeyes: 5. The talent is young, but there is a deep well of offensive fire power http://gty.im/598978436 Yeah there’s a litany of talent […]

We all should have known the guy with the odds-on shot at the job to be Michigan’s starting quarterback would be a Jim Harbaugh doppelganger. All joking aside, junior quarterback Wilton Speight getting the nod for a team expected to make a playoff run is noteworthy in a game that otherwise was only noteworthy in […]

It is a common joke among fans and announcers of teams with injury problems that, “before long, they’ll have to start pulling guys from the stands.” Well, we always thought it was a joke, but it actually happened in Saturday’s Fordham-Navy game. Starting quarterback Tago Smith suffered an apparent knee injury in the first half. […]

Today’s Oklahoma-Houston game featured shades of the 2013 Iron Bowl when Houston’s Brandon Wilson returned a missed field goal 109 yards for a touchdown near the halfway mark of the third quarter. Oklahoma lined up for a 53-yard attempt, but kicker Austin Seibert’s attempt fell just short, and into the waiting hands of Wilson. Just like Auburn’s Chris Davis […]

It looked like Houston was stopped. Oklahoma defenders were closing in on Greg Ward, and had forced him to throw the ball out of bounds. Or so we thought! Houston picked up the first down on this great grab by Bonner. This catch kept the drive alive and allowed the Cougars to take a 19-17 […]

Paced by a young, but talented defense and an efficient offense, Toledo defeated Arkansas State 31-10 on Friday night. Make no mistake about it: this is a big win for the Rockets. Sure, Toledo had won the last two meetings in this series, but the Red Wolves are a much better team this year. Given […]

Christian McCaffrey had a brilliant 98 yard punt return called back early in the game against Kansas State. No worries. McCaffrey would get his and he did with this fantastic cut-back against the Kansas State defense where he simply leaves them in the dust on this 35 yard TD run….. McCaffrey. Nuff said. https://t.co/6KwZQlmbRE — […]

The highlight of the first half for the Stanford Cardinal should have been an improbable, amazing 98 yard punt return for a TD by Christian McCaffrey. Unfortunately, there was a penalty on that play that negated it. Instead, it’s been Ryan Burns that has been the early story for the Stanford Cardinal. He’s started 6 […]

We’ve already witnessed a couple of Big Ten teams in action, but the remaining twelve teams will be in taking the field Saturday. It’s impossible to watch them all, but if you somehow manage to dial up games on the television, laptop, tablet and and media control room, then here are five things to watch […]
