It began with landing Erick All from Michigan in the transfer […]
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.

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.

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.

TCU was projected to win a total of just 6.5 games entering this season. They went over in October and finished the year 12-1 with a gut-wrenching loss in the Big XII title game to Kansas State.

It’s hard to know what gets the most anticipation for Duke’s Mayo Bowl. Is it the two teams? Or is it knowing that one of the two head coaches is going to get dumped with a bucket of mayonnaise as his team wins? As we get two teams that have a long history against each […]

Head coach Joey McGuire injected much-needed life and optimism into the Red Raider football program last season. This included some school-record victories on the field and its best recruiting class since 2011. In this business though, any coach is only as good as his next season. There is plenty of reason to believe this program […]
There’s no quarterback controversy on the Forty Acres. Just ask the head coach. Steve Sarkisian is not concerned about the looming battle between Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning. That might not be the real contest, anyway. A fight for the starting spot is taking shape between Ewers and redshirt freshman Maalik Murphy. Those were the […]
Huge Day For The Program Call it the “Will Levis” effect but Friday’s Kentucky football pro day was certainly different than previous years.
