We’ve officially made it to the bye week. Through the first half of the season, Colorado feels like a team that’s been close to figuring it out, but not close enough. While there have been glimpses of improvement, the Buffs have been riddled by inconsistency. If this team is going to start stacking wins, it’ll […]

UNLV’s undefeated season came to an end in Boise on Saturday afternoon, as the Rebels fell 56-31 to the defending Mountain West champion Boise State Broncos.

During Saturday’s game against the Ohio State Buckeyes, The Athletic’s Dane Brugler revealed that Wisconsin Badgers head coach Luke Fickell had been shutting out NFL scouts from practice, which was the reason why teams sent them for games. “Fickell has been shutting NFL scouts out of practice so games are the only chance for teams […]
It’s a tale as old as time. The clock is winding down, the opposing quarterback is kneeling it out, and the chance for a statement win has slipped away once again. A coach who just moments earlier seemed set to stake his claim to victory now finds himself moments away from having to explain away […]
It wasn’t easy, but beating Wyoming never is. But that’s exactly what Air Force did on Saturday, defeating the Pokes at Falcon Stadium to end their five game losing skid. It wouldn’t have mattered how they did it, Air Force just needed to end this weekend with a win. It just so happens that the […]

The last time Nevada won a conference game was in 2023 over New Mexico. Nearly two years later, Nevada had a chance to break its 13-game conference losing streak against the same team. The opportunities were there, but despite an overall clean game by the Pack and QB Carter Jones playing well, Nevada fell 24-22 […]
For the first time since 2014, Penn. State took the field with someone other than James Franklin on the sidelines. It was Terry Smith who had the honor, and his Nittany Lions almost pulled it off. Playing at night at Iowa is one of the worst ways to start your career, and that was the […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had a tough day at the office on Saturday, losing 34-0 to the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes at Camp Randall Stadium.

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 […]
Ten Fourteen Eighteen B1G Things The Rundown He done did it again: Minnesota 24, Nebraska 6 P.J. Fleck seems to know a thing or two about beating Nebraska. Or seven. BigRed_Twice: Nebraska is simply not that good. They aren’t bad, really, but they definitely aren’t good. Raiola makes moments of magic, but there are enough […]
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 […]
Look, we get it. Your days are busy and you don’t have time to read all of the stories and tweets from the three dozen websites dedicated to covering Ohio State athletics, or the 237 Buckeye beat writers churning out hot takes and #content on a daily basis. But that’s ok, that’s what your friends […]

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 […]
