Stock up, stock down for Northwestern vs. Purdue

Playing what was its final game at the lakefront stadium, Northwestern was dominant, shutting out the Boilermakers in a 19-0 victory. The Wildcats move to 5-2 on the season, and extend their winning streak to four games, after playing what may have been their best football of the entire season. Stock Up Robert Fitzgerlad, Healthy […]

3 quick takeaways from the Badgers 34-0 loss to Ohio State: Wisconsin leaves with even more questions than answers

The Wisconsin Badgers were blown out in a 34-0 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday, having no answers from the jump in yet another disappointing game. It marks Wisconsin’s fifth straight loss and ninth straight in conference play dating back to last season, and is the second-straight scoreless outing for the Badgers. The […]

Northwestern 19, Purdue 0: Boilers No-Show in Evanston

When the season started Purdue fans looked at this Northwestern game as a potential win. The Wildcats were not held in high esteem and if a really, really bad Purdue team could take them to overtime last season when surely a better Purdue team couldpotentially get a win in 2025. As we saw, that was […]

Game thread: Maryland football at UCLA

Maryland football is in Pasadena for an afternoon contest with red-hot UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium. A win moves the Terps one win away from clinching a bowl game appearance — a loss moves them to a three-game losing streak. A pivotal game is ahead for Maryland. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. […]

What Brent Brennan said after Arizona’s loss at Houston

Arizona rallied from down 14 points entering the fourth quarter to tie it on Saturday at Houston, only to lose on a last-second field goal. It was the second straight loss for the Wildcats that came down to the end, following last week’s double-OT home defeat to unbeaten BYU. No room for moral victories, UA […]

It’s nearly game time in Iowa City as the Hawkeyes prepare to host the Penn State Nittany Lions! After starting the year ranked #2 nationally, Penn State has lost their last three games in the Big Ten, culminating with a 22-21 loss to Northwestern a week ago.

Kentucky vs. Texas game thread and pregame reading

Kentucky football is scheduled to host No. 21 Texas this evening in what’s previewed to be an uphill battle for the Wildcats. Standing at 2-3, the Wildcats have as many BYES as wins so far this season. Head coach Mark Stoops has never been stellar coming out of a BYE and is under as much […]

Update on Jaland Lowe after Blue-White Game injury

We finally have an update on Pitt transfer guard Jaland Lowe following the annual Blue-White Game at Historic Memorial Coliseum. Lowe, who has been one of the most anticipated additions to the Wildcats’ roster, suffered a shoulder injury during the scrimmage and briefly left the floor to be evaluated. During Saturday’s KSR pregame show, Matt […]

Instant Reactions: Vanderbilt 31, LSU 24

It sure feels like the Brian Kelly era has come to an end in some way shape or form. For the first time since 1990, three years before I was born, Vanderbilt has beaten LSU in football. Don’t let the final score of 31-24 fool you, this wasn’t close. Vanderbilt dragged their nuts all over […]

Georgia Tech 27, Duke 18: Five Critical Plays

Duke fell to Georgia Tech 27-18 in a game marred by mistakes and failed Red Zone execution. The Blue Devils offense clicked between the 20 yard lines to the tune of 441 yards of Total Offense but the Yellow Jackets defense stymied Duke’s run game preventing the Blue Devils from converting all those yards into […]

Vanderbilt achieves bowl eligibility with 31-24 win over LSU

For the second year in a row, Vanderbilt is bowl-eligible. For the first time that I could find, Vanderbilt is bowl-eligible before November. It was a ball-control, man-ball kind of win for Diego Pavia and the Commodores. After holding LSU to a field goal on its opening drive, Vanderbilt went 57 yards in 9 plays […]

UConn football tops Boston College, 38-23

UConn football earned a big victory over ACC regional rival Boston College on Saturday, 38-23, for the program’s first win at BC and second triumph over the Eagles all-time. BC got on the board first with a field goal drive, adding another at the end of the first quarter. UConn’s first drive ended with a […]

Washington overwhelmed in 24-7 loss to Michigan

Amidst a season that eventually ended with downing Washington in the National Championship Game, Joel Klatt often described Michigan as a boa constrictor. A team that squeezes the life out of its opponents slowly, but surely. It happened to Michael Penix Jr’s Huskies in that heartbreaking defeat. It happened again Saturday, with Klatt in the […]

Giants next manager a college coach?

The San Francisco Giants are “closing in” on hiring as their next manager University of Tennessee coach Tony Vitello, per the Athletic. When word broke that the Giants had fired veteran Bob Melvin after two seasons, the immediate speculation was that president of baseball operations Buster Posey would be looking to hire his former manager, […]

Recap: Boston College 23, UConn 38 — Deep Sixed

If Boston College fans thought they were seeing an entirely new Eagles team at Alumni Stadium on Saturday afternoon, it was partly because they were. The unfortunate thing is that the results were largely the same. Less than an hour before kickoff in Chestnut Hill, ESPN senior writer Pete Thamel reported that fifth-year senior Grayson […]

Tony Vitello the next manager?

If Andrew Baggarly isn’t as close to an unimpeachable source when it comes to Giants rumors and breaking or near-breaking news, then no beat writer is. He mentioned Tennessee Volunteers coach Tony Vitello as a possible replacement for Bob Melvin when this whole search began, and just moments ago on The Athletic, he, Brittany Ghiroli, […]

First Half Open Comment Thread

There are a handful of games every season that seem to define who you are as a team. This sort of feels like one of those. Can the Dawgs shake off a late night in Auburn and play their best football before they absolutely have to? Before it’s too late to matter? Let’s hope so. […]
