Prior to the draft there was a lot of discussion about the positional value of a safety, and some of that line of thinking might have pushed Caleb Downs out of the top five and into the waiting arms of the Dallas Cowboys. Austin Mock of The Athletic explained the issue prior to the draft: […]
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Syracuse Orange couldn’t generate any offensive momentum as the Pittsburgh Panthers survived miscues and an aggressive Orange defense at the JMA Wireless Dome. Pitt took the victory 30-13, handing Syracuse a 3rd straight loss and dropping the Orange to a losing 3-4 record. Both teams combined for 25 penalties for 221 […]
My turn to take a swing at a post game. Boy I wish I hadn’t volunteered. Iowa mostly outplayed Penn State over 60 minutes and, despite some truly insane twists and turns, Iowa emerged a 25-24 winner after a late Kaden Wetjen touchdown plus a stop gave Iowa the win. Iowa improved to 5-2 and […]
It felt as if the Kentucky football program had been skating on thin ice for the last few weeks. With all eyes on how Mark Stoops and his team will respond to adversity, it was a big moment hosting the 21st-ranked Longhorns on Saturday night. You have to give the Cats credit, they did anything […]
In what was a busy night for the Flyers’ organization, their 6th overall pick from this past summer’s draft picked up his first real collegiate goal. Now, as we might recall, he had previously scored on his first shift with the Spartans back in this month’s opening weekend in their game against Windsor, but that was an exhibition game, and the murky grey area before the true start of the season. This one, though, counts for real! Michigan State and Boston University kicked off their two-g...
The old saying goes lightning never strikes the same place twice— though science has since confirmed that’s a myth. What lightning is capable of doing, however, is changing the environment around it, generating an electric current strong enough to incapacitate or kill living objects and destroy flora, fauna and man-made structures if they don’t take […]
A meltdown of epic proportions in Charlottesville, Virginia for the Washington State Cougars. Boneheaded mistakes, presnap penalties, and a lack of offense allowed the No. 18 Virginia Cavaliers to erase a 17-7 halftime deficit to win it 22-20. Much like WSU’s (3-4) win over Colorado State, the offense couldn’t get anything going in the second […]

After a convincing win over Utah State, Hawaii traveled to the Mountain Time Zone for the second time this season, this time against Colorado State and Timmy Chang’s mentor Jay Norvell.

The Rangers fully shook off their early-season scoring woes with a hard-fought 4–3 win over the Canadiens.
Penn State played its first game without James Franklin on the sidelines since 2014. It came in the worst possible environment, especially with a new quarterback at the helm. Here are your takeaways. 1) Defensive Effort Defense played like a Penn State defense for the first time since Oregon. Maybe it’s because it was Iowa, […]
But they may have lost Pedro de la Vega to a potentially serious injury in the process.
The effort that interim coach Terry Smith had begged for was there Saturday night for Penn State. In the end, the execution wasn’t. In a scene familiar to Penn State fans for nearly 30 years, the Lions dropped a weird, close game to Iowa. This time, it was the Hawkeyes rallying in the final few […]
What a crazy game this has been for Kentucky running back Seth McGowan. McGowan was a key part of Kentucky’s offense, catching several passes despite having some struggles in the run game, but Kentucky’s leading rusher this season went out of tonight’s game with Texas due to an injury, leaving with EMS personnel. Then, according […]

The Chicago Bears are favored for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints. That’s something that really hasn’t happened too often in the last several years, and when it has, it seems like the Bears found a way to Bear it up. But that was before Ben Johnson. We’ve already seen his team do some […]
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, who was a limited participant in practice throughout this week, is expected to miss Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers and return to the starting lineup after the Cardinals’ bye week. Murray has been dealing with a Lisfranc issue in his foot, which also […]
The weird thing about matinee weekends like this one is that you never really know what you’re going to get. Will the change in routine throw the players off and open the door for more chaos? Will one team show up sharper than the other? Will we forget the game’s even on? Between the odd…
You know the drill. We’ll be live after the game.

What’s old is new. Although St. John’s added an arsenal of skilled shooters through the transfer portal this offseason and hoped those long-range woes were behind them, they struggled to find the bottom of the net in Saturday’s dress rehearsal versus Towson. However, like they did on numerous occasions last season, the Red Storm came […]
You don’t battle back to take down a top five ranked opponent without a total team effort. But even then some players are bound to distinguish themselves. Those bold Bulldogs are your MVDs, the Most Valuable ‘Dawgs from Georgia’s 43-35 win over the Ole Miss Rebels. Offense: Lawson Luckie and Gunner Stockton. If you had […]
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs played through an illness last weekend, stating that he threw up before and during the team’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
