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. It was a get-right night in Happy Valley. Matt Rhule had a rough homecoming in Happy Valley as he continues to build […]
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. Both teams were active during the trade deadline to make a push for the […]
We are officially in the week of The Game. The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes defeated the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 42-9 on Senior Day in Columbus behind 254 yards rushing and another dominant defensive performance. The Buckeyes moved to 11-0 overall and 8-0 in the Big Ten, while Rutgers is now 5-6 overall and 2-6 […]
TV networks announced broadcast details for the final week of the regular season and BYU vs UCF in Provo will kickoff Saturday at 11 am MT on ESPN2. BYU is 10-1 going into the season finale and controls its destiny, meaning if BYU beats UCF they will play in the Big 12 Championship game. BYU […]
The oddsmakers like Penn State’s chances to end the regular season with three consecutive wins, opening the door to bowl eligibility. The Nittany Lions have opened as a 10.5-point favorite in their regular season finale against Rutgers, according to FanDuel. Penn State is coming off its best performance of the year, decimating a Nebraska team […]
The senior game is very sentimental, as it should be. The last (regular) game at home. So many lasts. Like graduation, it is both sad and exciting. Those who handle scheduling usually try to schedule an opponent who will be reasonably easy to beat. Such was yesterday’s game against the Charlotte Forty-Niners. Yesterday’s plus one […]
Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season is here, with teams looking to position themselves for the postseason over the final seven weeks of the year. There are plenty of story lines for today’s games, including the 5-5 Kansas City Chiefs trying to fight their way into a postseason position against a surprising 8-2 Indianapolis […]
The Dallas Cowboys Monday Night Football win against the Las Vegas Raiders was an emphatic one, but in the week-to-week nature of the NFL it stands to be forgotten about by Sunday evening – or not. The win has Cowboys fans feeling confident ahead of a home matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, and the fact […]
Allow me to breeze past your drive-by-drive recap of what was ultimately a breeze on Saturday. Penn State scored on their first five drives of the game, taking a failed fourth down conversion by Nebraska at their own 2-yard line and turning it into the first touchdown of the game. They followed up with a […]
All due respect to Samford, but I struggle to recall the last time I saw a team that overmatched. The Aggies looked like a different level of team (because they are) and got their backups nearly three quarters of reps en route to a 48-0 win to get to 11-0 (wow) on the season. You […]
The Daily Merengue is a place where you can feel free to d all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. It’s in the name! Shoutout to the mods who do a fantastic job, Ezek, Valyrian Steel, Kung_Fu_Zizou, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco and yours truly, Felipejack. Matchday! Real Madrid football returns today after international break. We face Elche today […]
Ten Fourteen Eighteen B1G Things The Rundown Northwestern finally wins at Wrigley! At first it looked like a very West type of game, then suddenly both teams decided to give the defense the rest of the afternoon off, and couldn’t stop each other. It was actually one of those “last team with the ball wins.” […]
As expected against Samford, the Aggies took care of business. The 48-0 win marked the first defensive shutout for Texas A&M since 2022. Next up for the Aggies is a trip to Austin to close out the regular season against the Longhorns. Per FanDuel, the Aggies are 2.5-point favorites on the road against Texas. The […]
Late last night after Portland State’s 24-13 loss in the regular season finale against Norther Colorado, the school announced that head coach Bruce Barnum and his coaching staff would be relieved of their duties in the effort to make a wholesale change. Barnum, who has led the Vikings since 2015, finished his last campaign with […]
During the season, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team or their thoughts on other topics. The Browns are coming off a loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but with Shedeur Sanders set to make his first career start this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, fan […]
Ohio State’s 42–9 win against Rutgers this weekend delivered its cleanest, most complete rushing performance of the season, and the defining number was unmistakable: 7.05 yards per carry, excluding kneel-downs. It wasn’t a one-off burst or 70+ yard play; it wasn’t inflated from broken plays or garbage time, it was the product of consistent, physical, […]
The season of giving is just around the corner for most, but it arrived in Fresno on Saturday night when the Fresno State Bulldogs gave away their chance at a Mountain West Championship Game with a 28-17 loss to the Utah State Aggies. On a cold and crisp night by Fresno standards, EJ Warner returned […]
Watching my alma mater, Southern Illinois, go on the road, beat a top-15 team in its building by 30 points (and on Senior Day!) got my juices flowing and ready for today’s Bears game. Selfishly, I hope The Committee puts the Salukis in as an at-large team. Their efforts might fall under the “too little, too late” umbrella, but at least it was fun to witness. Happy Game Day! The Chicago Bears enter Week 12 in sole possession of first place in the NFC North. Who knows how long it will las...

When Northwestern comes to Champaign next Saturday night for the regular season’s final game, the scuffling Illini are expected to come out on top. FanDuel Sportsbook on Sunday issued its opening line for the HAT matchup, and Illinois is a 6.5-point favorite. It’s the fourth consecutive game to close out the season that the Illini […]
Let’s assume for a minute that the team isn’t going to moving any of their big four. Andrew Painter, Aidan Miller, Justin Crawford and Gage Wood are probably all as close to untouchable as prospects can get being as how they all look possible to debut in 2026. That means there are a number of […]
The Miami Hurricanes “survived a scare” or won by 17 over the Virginia Tech Hokies on Saturday. The Hurricanes held a 20-3 halftime lead and wrapped up the win 34-17. The Canyonero Keys to Victory main theme was ‘head down and drive.’ That means just play your game and you’ll win. The three individual keys […]
