After a week off and a week on the road, the Hawkeyes return home to Kinnick Stadium Saturday night to host a now unranked Penn State squad that is at a cross roads. The Nittany Lions started the season ranked inside the top-5 nationally with a potential Heisman candidate at QB and a head coach […]
Anybody that chose to stay up for the UNC/Cal game was treated to a close game by the time the fourth quarter arrived, but the quality of the game wasn’t a whole lot different than what we have been seeing from the Tar Heels. The main difference in this one is that Cal had their […]

One of the most striking things about UNC’s chaotic football season to date is how aggressive WRAL has been about covering the issues the program is having. Typically, local TV stations just post brief stories about games, coaches and players, with maybe some human interest stories. Not this time. Here’s a partial list of recent […]

Apologies for the short hiatus in this series, as I battled a cold that took my energy following Week 6 of college football. I’m almost back to 100% now, and we have a lot of storylines to touch on that occurred in my absence, so I won’t waste any more time with the preamble. Let’s […]
The second half of Tech’s regular season begins with a road trip to Durham to face everyone’s (least) favorite New Jersey trust fund babies. In some ways I feel for David Cutcliffe. He spent well over a decade dragging Duke football from deep in the mud up to honorable mediocrity and then to genuine ACC […]
Get up, ‘Dawgs! It’s game day! As usual, we start off with your official hype video. It’s time to cut loose. Elsewhere Dawgs247’s Jordan Hill has a rundown of national football writers’ picks for the game. Spoiler alert: a solid majority are picking the Red and Black, which on the one hand always makes me […]
As so many of the other perceived contenders continue to falter (looking at you, Miami), the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes continue to be the best team in all of college football. While Ryan Day and his team are not focused on style points (and they certainly don’t need to be), they might end up […]
Kansas Jayhawks News It seems more and more like someone just dropped a pocket knife and that it was not thrown at the Kansas sideline. Is this a bad look for Leipold and Kansas? I for one am disappointed that the Sunflower Showdown got an 11am kickoff time This UDK opinion piece says ease up […]

The coach disclosed the nature of the injury in his weekly press conference leading up to the RedHawks’ Week 8 home matchup vs. Eastern Michigan. “Kenny’s done for the year,” Martin said. “He unfortunately reinjured his knee. […]
Third Saturday is here, a time of joy fueled by hate, and this year we have the added incentive of last year’s fiasco to avenge. The Tide face yet another ranked opponent (its fourth in as many weeks), in a game that could prove determinative in who jets to Atlanta for the SEC crown. But, […]

The Miami (OH) RedHawks (3-3, 2-0 MAC) are in the midst of a hot streak, looking to defend its homefield and log a fourth-straight win Saturday.

After a week filled with speculation about Matt Rhule possibly leaving for Penn State, Nebraska fans were hoping Friday night’s matchup at Minnesota would bring clarity and confidence. Instead, it brought frustration, regression, and one of the ugliest losses of the Rhule era — a 24-6 defeat that exposed the same old demons Husker fans […]
“It’s gut-wrenching and heart-breaking with losses like this,“ said a dejected but still hopeful Spartan head coach Ken Niumatalolo. San Jose State (2-5, 1-2 MW) came in as 3.5 point underdogs to Utah State (4-3, 2-1 MW) Friday night in Logan, UT in front of a raucous 22,710 at Maverik Stadium. It was another last […]
This game should finish quite a few things off. First of all, look at our last 5 games on the schedule – Northwestern, Southern Cal, UCLA, Penn State, Iowa. People were referring to that slate as one which could be run. I questioned that before tonight. Northwestern is suddenly scrappy. Southern Cal? Ouch. UCLA? Not […]
Big. Game. Brohm. Where to begin? WHERE TO BEGIN?! After having to sit in the smelly stew of the UVA OT loss for nearly two weeks, the Cards finally got the chance to put that agonizing loss behind them and fans got the chance to move on. Only problem was that the palate cleanser was […]
You don’t get nights like this often (or if you’re listening to this on Saturday or Sunday — weekends like this often). Soak it up. Shoutout to my half asleep daughter for the surprise cameo. What a freaking night. Direct link here.
When the Virginia Tech Hokies fired head coach Brent Pry in mid-September, it opened the transfer portal for the entire team for 30 days. Some players jumped in, such as cornerback Dante Lovett and wide receiver Tucker Holloway, but not as many as some believed. Other players with redshirt seasons available could be choosing to […]
After the 34-16 loss to Ohio State, the Illini have the week off. Now, of course, they will use the time to get some players fully healthy, such as Kaden Feagin and Ca’Lil Valentine, to name a couple. but some glaring questions will have to be answered before next weekend’s trip to Seattle to take […]
The Miami Hurricanes lost their first game of the season tonight, 24-21. It was a frustrating game to watch from the start, with the defense giving up a quick 14 points and the offense not being able to generate any momentum the entire night. Just a bad performance by a team I thought was better […]
