The wheels fall off for TCU, while Oklahoma State takes the driver’s seat

0 comments by on 11/7/2015

First things first on a significant college football Saturday: The main reason the TCU Horned Frogs lost their first game of 2015 is that the Oklahoma State Cowboys played brilliantly. The Cowboys played this game the way they wanted to on both sides of the ball. They produced more home-run plays on offense and forced […]

Watch: Arkansas gets 1st down on crazy lateral in overtime

0 comments by

This wasn’t Miami/Duke but it was still an insane play. TE Hunter Henry catches the ball short of the 1st down marker on 4th down. He heaves the ball backward. It bounces. Alex Collins scoops it up and starts running and he gets a 1st down! He also fumbled but it was recovered by Arkansas. […]

Florida and the pressure of sudden expectations

Florida scored more football points than Vanderbilt on Saturday. That’s all you need to know. In the end, that’s all that matters. We rarely remember how it got done enough to change our minds on anything, just that it got done. With that, Florida clinches the SEC East, which, by default, puts the Gators one […]

Last season Wisconsin-Green Bay had a future NBA draft pick in Keifer Sykes, and Valparaiso finished just three points shy of an upset over Maryland in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Neither led the league in offense, however. That was Oakland, which scored 1.11 points per trip in league play.

Conference USA Preview

No conference has gone through more of a tectonic shift in the past few years than Conference USA. The league lost teams such as Memphis and Tulsa to the AAC and replaced them with the likes of Middle Tennessee and Florida International.

Harvard Heights: Tim Murphy, consistency, and success in the Ivy League

0 comments by

Consistency is the most valuable resource in college football. Consistency — from the head coach to his assistants, from the team captains down to the redshirt freshmen on the roster — is how dynasties are formed. Harvard coach Tim Murphy is the epitome of stability and success. Murphy, in his 23rd year at the helm in […]

0 comments by

LSU and Alabama, united in 21st-century history by Nick Saban and the contentious 2011 season, have carved out a golden age in their football rivalry. Yet, even for a clash as celebrated and scrutinized as this one, can it be that Tigers-Tide is — dare we say it? — underrated as a rivalry? That’s a […]

0 comments by

In the latest 20 for 20, three box scores all deserve “box score of the week honors.” Traditional football box scores haven’t generally included the number of scrimmage plays each team runs, but if you incorporated that statistic into a modernized box score, Colorado-UCLA deserves to be on the short list. Colorado ran 114 plays to […]
