It shouldn’t come as a surprise that there will be no changes to the Iowa coaching staff this season. Why would there be? In Kirk Ferentz’s 24 years as head coach at Iowa, he has never fired a coordinator. Before his time at the helm, Hayden Fry never fired a coordinator at Iowa. That makes 44 […]
The Penn State wide receivers have been up and down over the last few seasons. So much so that the Nittany Lions made a change at wide receiver coach at the start of January. Taylor Stubblefield was let go at the position and Head Coach James Franklin has already started his search for a new […]
With the transfer portal window being open for just over one month, Iowa has filled a handful of spots on its offense. The Hawkeyes needed depth at quarterback and receiver and found some solid names in those position groups. The offensive line was another target area for Iowa after the unit struggled in 2022. Transfers […]
Penn State will have a new starting quarterback in 2023. Sean Clifford completed his final game for the Nittany Lions during a Rose Bowl victory. The signal caller had a record-setting career with Penn State and now has his sights set on the NFL. Now it is time for “quarterback of the future” Drew Allar […]
It rained during the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1997. This could explain a slow start for both offenses, however, the rain didn’t start to fall until the second half. Further, if you looked at the crowd there was a lot of red in the stands, but Penn State fans were loud and […]
In the first college football game of 2023, the Mississippi State Bulldogs defeated the Illinois Fighting Illini in the ReliaQuest Bowl 19-10. It was an emotional game for the Bulldogs, as the team was looking to honor Mike Leach with a win. It was not pretty offensively with both teams struggling for most of the […]
Missing players for opt-outs or the portal has impacted teams differently this postseason. Both LSU and Purdue were missing some key players for the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. But the Boilermakers were depleted, and the Tigers had plenty of depth of talent left as LSU crushes Purdue, 63-7. LSU was missing all-conference receiver Kayshon Boutte […]
The Penn State Nittany Lions will take on the Utah Utes in the 2023 Rose Bowl on January 2nd.

A Great Second Act For years people complained the College Football Playoff semi-finals were never good. However, 2022 was not one of those years. Let’s be honest Georgia and Ohio State had a very tough task following an epic first semi-final. However, it more than lived up to the hype with another incredible game. Following […]
Fireworks came early and often in the Fiesta Bowl as TCU jumped to a two-touchdown lead in the first quarter. A pick-six by the TCU defense followed by a 76-yard Horned Frog touchdown drive had the two-score underdogs out in front in the first College Football Playoff Semifinal. Michigan began to find success in the […]
A Subpar Sequel For Kentucky You always hear talk in Hollywood that the sequel’s never as good as the original. For the occasional “Empire Strikes Back” or “Godfather 2” there are a ton of “Caddyshack 2’s.” When it was announced Kentucky and Iowa would have a sequel to their Citrus Bowl thriller 364 days earlier […]
It was widely believed that points would come at a premium in the Music City Bowl. Two of the nation’s top defenses took the field against freshman quarterbacks. Offensive points were, in fact, hard to come by in this one. It was Iowa’s defense that did the scoring against Kentucky in Nashville. At the half, […]
It’s a good thing that dousing the winning head coach in mayo has become a critical part of the postgame celebration for the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. It’s entertaining. The football on Friday was not. NC State and Maryland set postseason football back a decade as Maryland survives the slow-paced Mayo Bowl 16-12. The offenses were […]

The 2022 Auburn Tigers were pretty bad on defense, and the talent on that side of the ball needed some help. The Tigers were one of the worst defenses in the SEC giving up 29.5 points per game, and 172.7 yards per game on the ground. The pass defense was not much better, allowing 222.6 […]
The offense of the Alabama Crimson Tide needed a hard reset. Many in Tide Nation were relieved when Bill O’Brien took the offensive coordinator job for the New England Patriots after two good, but underwhelming seasons. Statistically, Alabama was one of the top offenses in the nation but it failed expectations in the big moments […]
Picking Up Good Players Late Over the last few years, the December early signing period is where most recruits commit. Kentucky was no exception as they picked up 18 pledges. However with student-athletes using the transfer portal more than a Doctor Strange movie the February period still remains important. Coaches still find many players at […]
Georgia’s National Signing Day came to a close on Wednesday. Georgia signed 26 recruits to the Class of 2023. The Bulldogs have the #2 ranked class in the country. The class is made up of six 5-star and 17 4-star commits. 2023 is Kirby Smart‘s sixth Top 3 class in his eight years at Georgia. […]
