It’s always a good day to beat Tennessee, and last night was no exception. Alabama controlled the action throughout the evening. It wasn’t a completely stress-free affair, but the Tide generally maintained a two score lead in the second half. It was nice, wasn’t it? A few impressions: This game was much closer than the […]

Illinois has only traveled to the west coast once since the Pac-12 schools joined the Big Ten, and we don’t need to relive that tragedy in Eugene. The Illini find themselves in Seattle next week, and the fine people at FanDuel don’t like their chances. Illinois (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten) opened on Sunday as a […]

Post VANDERBILT Football and/or SEC Football questions in the comments here. We just beat a top 10 LSU team at home. We’ve, umm… never done that before. We’re now 6-1, have bowl eligibility before your Halloween decorations are up, and are not remotely close to being done shocking the world. Will we move into the […]

What was it again? 26 or 26.5 point underdogs to Indiana. It truly feels like we are living in an alternate universe when Indiana is a 4 touchdown favorite. Yet, it is not an alternate universe, it is the sad reality when Spartan fans walk away from the game saying, “at least they didn’t cover”. […]

I’ve been on vacation all week so you’ll excuse me as I get back into things. I thought a good way to get back into the flow would be to spend my day watching college football. I mostly settled into LSU-Vanderbilt, and Georgia-Ole Miss, both before the Mizzou-Auburn game. Watching Ole Miss and Georgia battle […]

Another Saturday, another brutal loss for the Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky gave it everything they had, outgunning the Longhorns by over 200 yards, and somehow it wasn’t enough. Cutter Boley looked solid throughout the game. He had some mistakes, but bounced back well from them and had Kentucky in a position to win. If you’re looking […]

Maryland football faltered once again, and it did so late for the third straight week — this time collapsing late against UCLA, 20-17. In a game that featured a staggering 15 combined punts, the football played by both sides was ugly, uncoordinated and downright sloppy. Mistakes, errant throws, turnovers and targeting penalties sullied the product […]

Hindsight in football is an unavoidable yet dangerous thing. Once the raw emotion drains from another road trip that yielded nothing, you can almost convince yourself it wasn’t all bad. In isolation, this was actually a good performance. We created more chances here than in several previous games combined. The passing was sharper, the movement […]

Longevity is a lost art in college football. In an era where rosters can be built and torn down in seconds by the transfer portal with obvious NIL influences, all 136 FBS coaches are expected, to some degree, win and win now. But the Miami RedHawks are Eastern Michigan Eagles do things the old-fashioned way. […]

The SMU Mustangs had never lost a conference matchup since joining the ACC, entering Saturday a spotless 10-0. But the Mustangs weren’t completely spotless against their peers in the new league. On Dec. 7, 2024 SMU competed in the ACC Championship Game, storming back from a 31-14 fourth quarter deficit to knot the game at […]

Last Sunday, UAB fired third-year head coach Trent Dilfer after compiling a 9-21 record as the Blazers’ frontman. During his tenure, he never won a single road game and only defeated one opponent that qualified for bowl eligibility. Offensive coordinator Alex Mortensen claimed interim head coach duties, and his job was merely to keep the […]

Rutgers football lost its 2025 homecoming game to No.8 Oregon in blowout fashion, as the Ducks (6-1, 3-1) handed the Scarlet Knights (3-4, 0-4) a 56-10 loss in front of a sold-out crowd. Rutgers’ defense continued to struggle, as the Ducks’ stout passing attack exploited them. Several times, Oregon’s wide receivers were left wide open […]

Tulane appeared destined to fall into the service academy trap. In the previous 10 years, there was nothing more dangerous than an American Conference contender running into an option-based service academy. 2015 Memphis, 2016 Houston, 2022 UCF, and 2024 Memphis were all ranked or high-profile teams that watched American title hopes dissipate thanks to losses […]

Goodness gracious great balls of fire. Can’t even begin to describe the feeling(s) of that one. Let’s just get to the takeaways. 1. Is Jordan-Hare haunted?

PASADENA, Calif. — For a third-straight week, Maryland football needed a last-minute touchdown drive Saturday to avoid a loss; this time to UCLA. In the previous two tries, its offense couldn’t get it done. Malik Washington wasn’t going to let that happen again. Multiple solid throws and a 28-yard scramble — by far the longest […]
