It took a few weeks, but Colorado Buffaloes legend Travis Hunter has scored his first NFL touchdown. The Jags were blown out, losing 35-7 to the Rams, but it was hardly Hunter’s fault. The 2024 Heisman winner had 8 catches for 101 yards, including the above 34-yard touchdown. It’s the most active he’s been thus […]
Bill O’Brien took over at Boston College last year with a mission to bring the Eagles back into relevance in the ACC. In year one, he got his team to a bowl game and seven wins with a strong defense and an efficient offense. However, year two has been a disaster for the Eagles as […]

When Arizona started 3-0 for the first time in 10 years, and after five games sat at 4-1, reaching a bowl game looked fairly likely. But after back-to-back losses, albeit by one score apiece and to teams with a combined 13-1 record, the prospect of a 13th game for the 2025 season isn’t as rosy. […]
The Carolina Panthers are suddenly 4-3 with a real shot at ending their seven-year postseason drought. Third-year quarterback Bryce Young continues to improve, running back Rico Dowdle has burst onto the scene, and eighth-overall pick Tetairoa McMillan looks like a true WR1. Yet it’s the Panthers’ defense that deserves much of the praise. After fielding […]
The Miami Hurricanes have slipped to 5-1 and lost to another unranked team under Mario Cristobal.

This week I will review Purdue’s 19 – 0 loss at Northwestern and preview the upcoming Rutgers at Purdue game. About last week … This game was a huge disappointment.

Complacency isn’t a thing around Indiana football. When head coach Curt Cignetti’s teams experience success, which happens far more often than it doesn’t, eliminating complacency throughout his program becomes one of the bigger parts of his job. It’s a trait he shares with his boss, athletic director Scott Dolson. When Indiana surged to even greater […]
The 2025 NFL draft was unique for a lot of reasons, starting with the Cleveland Browns trading down from the second overall spot with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Ohio State went on the road for the second straight week and the Buckeyes did their job again, bringing home a 34-0 shutout victory over the Wisconsin Badgers.

Despite all of the joy and dominance on the field Saturday night in Notre Dame’s 34-24 victory over USC, one of the few bad things to come out of the game is that Irish offensive lineman, Billy Schrauth, will miss multiple weeks with a knee injury.

Greetings, BBN! Indiana, our Top State last week, did same ol’ same ol this week. Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers blew by Michigan State to ascend to #2 in the AP poll, Notre Dame won a rivalry game vs USC, and Purdue embarrassed itself with a shutout loss. A solid week, just like many of their weeks […]
Clemson fell 35–24 to SMU in a game defined by trench play and situational inefficiency. Despite out-passing SMU and holding a slight edge in time of possession, Clemson’s inability to establish the run (1.2 YPC) and protect the quarterback (4 sacks, 8 TFL allowed) flipped field position and scoring leverage. SMU’s explosive balance and red-zone […]

What Weekday CUSA has truly shown us […]
Welcome to Tuesday, Bulldog fans! Did you go to your State Fair recently?
