On a cloudy Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field, Northwestern picked up one of its biggest wins of the David Braun era. And it did so by turning areas of progress into strengths which carried the ‘Cats across the finish line. For much of this season — including last week against Michigan — Northwestern’s defense has […]

I honestly don’t want to live in a football reality where UNC pays Bill Belichick $30,000,000 to get owned by Manny Diaz. That feels disturbingly wrong, like some mischievous quantum gremlin reversed the polarity of a few subatomic particles and unleashed coaching chaos. UNC took Duke to the wire in a game many expected to […]

Oddsmakers are fairly confident No. 6 Ole Miss can get through the Egg Bowl with a victory and cap off an 11-1 record to essentially clinch a College Football Playoff berth. Fanduel Sportsbook opened with the Rebels (10-1, 5-1 SEC) as a -7.5 favorite over Miss. St. (5-6, 1-6 SEC). On Sunday afternoon, 69 (nice) […]

Yeah, I do have some nuanced feelings on these “cupcake” games. It would be great to live in a world when polls and the College Football Playoff Committee actually did respect strength of schedule, then reward big wins in a way to actually encourage more meaningful inter-P4-conference games (and just more interesting football in general). […]

We have made it through the first quarter of play at Lambeau Field, and your Minnesota Vikings trail the Green Bay Packers by a score of 7-3. The Vikings got the football first, as the Packers won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. J.J. McCarthy led the offense onto the field, and […]

The 2025 FCS regular season has officially come to a close and the playoff bracket is now out. This year the 24-team field is one of the more interesting that there’s been in quite some time. Now the Ivy League has decided to join in on the fun and they’ll be well-represented. The Missouri Valley […]

I think your perspective on Nebraska’s 37-10 loss to Penn State depends on what you think Penn State is. Is a rudderless team that went into the game 4-6 with losses to UCLA and Northwestern? Or were they the preseason #2 team in the country that lost to Oregon on the road in double overtime […]

Suffice it to say, this is the most fun I’ve had all season long putting together these grades. Last night’s game felt like a whole season’s worth of frustrations being taken out on Nebraska, but will it be enough to earn a Straight-A report card?? Let’s find out! Quarterback: A Ethan Grunkemeyer completed all but […]

Playing with a 3-0 lead midway through the second quarter, Mizzou faced a critical decision ahead of a fourth-and-three at the Oklahoma 17-yard line. The Tigers initially chose to go for it, an aggressive move as the team looked to capitalize on early momentum against the home favorites. But after an MU timeout, then a […]

While Thursday’s game may have been a forgettable one for most Buffalo Bills fans, the team gets extra time to think about it with a mini-bye before their Week 13 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The extra time off also gives players additional opportunity to rest and recuperate, including quarterback Josh Allen. The Houston Texans’ […]

A win! For Penn State! At home! Against a power four team! In blowout fashion! It took until the end of November, but we finally got here. During and following the game, Nittany Lions’ fans and lettermen alike were saying the elephant in the room out loud. What if we just hired Terry? Some fans […]

For the second year in a row, Carolina shot itself in the foot against Duke, and between stupid penalties, offensive letdowns and defensive busts, it felt like nearly every player helped pull the trigger. One of the few who didn’t was Jordan Shipp. In just his second year of college football, Shipp has emerged as […]

The Wisconsin Badgers had a dominant 27-10 win over the No. 21 Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday in a game that they never trailed in from start to finish.

What a weird football experience. After two gut punch losses, the hardest part of this game was going to be getting up against a 3-7 opponent that looks destined to finish 0-9 in the league, Michigan State’s first winless campaign in Big Ten play since going 0-5-1 in 1958. For 55 minutes Iowa looked like […]

In a role reversal from when two Ohio MAC teams visited a New Jersey Big Ten opponent, Rutgers was the decided underdog playing with fight and fervor in the Buckeye State, but Ohio State’s physicality and talent proved to be too much at the end, wearing the Scarlet Knights’ defense down. The Buckeyes improved to […]

It was a historic night in Beaver Stadium, as Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton left their marks in the record books. Penn State is finally hitting its stride on both lines of scrimmage.

Ohio State, and a chorus of backup wide receivers, defeated Rutgers 42-9. The Buckeyes offense leaned on the ground game en route to a dominant, yet sort of ugly victory. As the game was in hand by the third quarter, thoughts of the Saturday after Thanksgiving became palpable. Here are three things to know about […]

Oregon volleyball played their final home game of the season on Saturday night. While they fixed many of the small errors that plagued them earlier in the week against USC, it was not enough to get past a very good Michigan team, and the Ducks fell in four sets, 25-17, 25-18, 14-25, 25-27. Oregon hit […]

It’s incredible how many things can change after two and a half months of football. The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles feel like different teams entering Week 12 than the ones we saw take the field on opening night in Philadelphia.
