Linebacker Kam Robinson made his second game-winning play in three games for the Virginia Cavaliers (8-1, 5-0) on Saturday afternoon.

While they had no […]
Fresno State has stunned the Mountain West Conference, and perhaps the country. Led by a defense that forced three turnovers, and knocked the opposing quarterback out of the game, the Bulldogs came away with a 30-7 win over the Boise State Broncos in Boise. Using that tough defense, and a ground and pound game, the […]

After a dismal first half, Michigan State responded with 17 straight points to take a fourth quarter lead in Minneapolis, only to relinquish it on a late game-tying drive by Minnesota to send it to overtime. Two crucial pass interference calls or, more accurately, one non-call on the Gophers and one enforced on the Spartans, […]
IU Football DESTROYS Maryland 55-10! Running game and defense take Maryland’s soul!
The blackout is here and, judging by the fans rolling in, most everyone is into it. Most people I talked to during the week seem to think the Trojans are the superior team talent-wise, but the money spenders aren’t so sure as they dropped the initial line from Huskers +6 1/2 to +4 1/2. Earlier […]

In a game that held a spread of 30.5 by kickoff, Notre Dame and Boston College found themselves in a clunker. The rule of a good team is, however, you win your clunkers. Notre Dame did that by a score of 25-10 and we can breathe a little bit. Notre Dame’s first two drives to […]

One week after defeating Purdue 27-24 for its first Big Ten win, the Scarlet Knights could not carry that momentum against Illinois.

Maryland football’s offense got off to an incredibly slow start against No. 2 Indiana, finally showing signs of life in the third quarter with a long DeJuan Williams touchdown. Needing to string together consecutive scoring drives, quarterback Malik Washington took the ball himself on a third-and-1 zone read. Nearly the entire defense was fooled. All […]

Ohio State is no stranger to close games against Penn State, and with the scoreboard showing 17-14 at halftime, it looked like we could be in for another one of those classic battles.

For about 30 minutes on Saturday afternoon, it looked like the Virginia Tech Hokies were about to win their second game in a row and move to 3-2 in ACC play. Unfortunately, a lopsided third quarter changed everything, and the No. 16 Louisville Cardinals (7-1, 4-1) came from behind to defeat the Hokies 28-16 (3-6, […]
The Kentucky Wildcats will travel to the Plains to take on the Auburn Tigers on Saturday night. Sitting at 2-5 overall and 0-5 in conference play, the Cats are steep underdogs against the 4-4 Tigers. Auburn is a 10.5-point favorite over the Cats even as they’ve struggled this season. Both head coaches look like lame […]
As promised, I started working on a model to predict transfer portal kicker success. Here’s the prelude to this article in case you missed it. I originally focused training the models exclusively on players who entered the portal, but quickly found that the limited sample caused wildly inaccurate predictions with insufficient range to cover top-end […]
It’s a tumultuous time for the Dallas Cowboys. They’re not winning enough football games, they don’t appear to be big movers before the trade deadline, and Jerry Jones publicly announced that he cares more about his oil business than he does about fixing the defense of his football team. Yay! Good times. The hits just […]
