The Washington Huskies came back down to Earth as they faced off against the Michigan Wolverines. The team kept things close with a 7-7 tie at intermission before it all unraveled following halftime. The defense did all that they could but the offense did not hold up their end of the bargain. Michigan forced 3 […]

We are getting further into the season and learning more about each team. As a result, the lines are getting better and fewer games are coming in with wildly unexpected results. Of the six games picked last week, only Minnesota’s upset over Nebraska on Friday night jumped out as wildly out of line with expectations. […]

The Wisconsin Badgers hired a new general manager this offseason, promoting Deputy Athletic Director and Chief Operating Officer Marcus Sedberry after Max Stienecker left for an executive position with the USC Trojans. Sedberry was a different hire than initially expected, as Wisconsin focused on filling a role with someone with more business experience, rather than […]

It was, again, another tough week, this time 3-7, thanks to some bad luck in a few games. I got hooked by the USC-Notre Dame game, and Tennessee had what appeared to be a touchdown that would have hit the over called short of the end zone in the final seconds. But can’t stop, won’t […]

The dilemma for opposing defensive coordinators is clear the moment Ohio State lines up. Two elite receivers, one impossible choice. Jeremiah Smith continues to be the steady, dominant presence every defense must account for, while Carnell Tate’s rise into full-fledged WR1 form has made double coverage a losing game. The ripple effect can be seen […]

When you think of Rutgers football’s 2025 season so far, you will probably think of the offense, the punt block touchdowns at the beginning of the year, and the defense’s ineptitude, which seems to be getting worse by the week. You might only think about the four straight defeats in Big Ten play, culminating in […]

Tyon Grant-Foster’s eligibility case was set for Thursday, October 23rd, at 3:30 p.m. PT in Spokane, but the NCAA filed a motion on Wednesday, October 22nd, requesting that the case be moved from state to a federal court. The NCAA is sticking by its thought process that Grant-Foster’s eligibility expired because “he had the opportunity […]

Although common across North American sports, the idea of drafting players is a completely alien concept to many football followers. With teams having academies designed to develop their superstars, either to be used by the team or sold for profit in the future, most clubs prefer to look internally for their young prodigies rather than at university athletes. With teams like Philadelphia regularly trading away … Source
