Richard Johnson, co-host of the podcast Split Zone Duo and writer for Sports Illustrated, often says, “the game (football) is about blocking and tackling.” While quarterbacks will always get the most attention, and the running backs of the Big XII are as good as any group in the nation, neither can thrive without the big […]

Every Mountaineer Has a Role A couple of weeks ago, we concluded our Spring coverage of the West Virginia Mountaineers. Now, we officially enter the off-season.

Best Big XII Defensive Backs Returning for 2022 For years, the Big XII developed a reputation for airing it out and accumulating 250 or more passing yards per game.

Who are the best Big XII quarterbacks for the 2022 season? It’s a question that actually is more complicated than it appears at first glance.

The Hawkeyes had one of the nation’s top defenses last season. The group was led by safeties Jack Koerner and Dane Belton, alongside Matt Hankins at cornerback. All three have now signed with NFL organizations. Iowa’s next man in at secondary will make room for some new, but familiar faces. The combination of returning experience […]

Another Big Year Coming Up? With four players taken, including three in the first 65 picks, the 2022 NFL Draft was another successful one for Mark Stoops and Kentucky football.

Two Penguins On USFL Rosters: Charles […]

(EDITORIAL): NIL is dead for college football already. Long live the Collectives. Maybe in various forms of media coverage of the ever-changing college sports landscape, you may have been under the illusion that they are intrinsically tied together. NIL, or Name/Image/Likeness, was supposed to be the name of the game going forward. But just as […]

The departure of Tyler Goodson in the Hawkeye backfield leaves the door open to a talented young group of running backs. The most veteran players in the position group are both redshirt sophomores.
