The Tennessee Volunteers are probably the most lopsided team in college football. While they sport the nation’s top scoring offense, their defense is very nearly at the bottom of the entire country, giving up 29 points per game… They even gave up 26 points to Syracuse and 24 to UAB. Oof. Shoot, even East Tennessee […]
The #17 Wake Forest Demon Deacons (9-2-3, 3-1-2 ACC) continue their push for an ACC Tournament berth this evening as they travel to Clemson, SC to take on the Clemson Tigers (5-4-5, 2-3-2 ACC). For the Deacs, this game will be critical to their hopes of getting back into the ACC Tournament places, as, after […]
One week after a grosser than gross game against Washington State, Ole Miss eases back into things with a trip to a place where they historically stink and lost by half a billion points the last time they had playoff aspirations. The good news is none of that has anything to do with a game […]
It’s a game week for football so Miguel Munoz from Northwestern blog Inside NU stopped by and was kind enough to answer my questions about this Saturday’s game. Miguel was nice and knowledgeable about his Wildcats so everyone please go over there and (politely) talk some smack or stir the pot prior to the game […]
The Hawkeyes return home on Saturday night to face off with a once familiar foe. Penn State boasted the second-longest tenured coach in the Big Ten as of last Saturday, but now they come to Iowa City for the first time since 2021 with a new coach at the helm and a slew of question […]
This week I will review Purdue’s 27 – 20 loss at Minnesota and preview the upcoming Purdue at Northwestern game. About last week … Overall, this was a frustrating loss for Purdue. The three previous games were against much better teams and resulted in three losses. I would say that Minnesota is better than Purdue, […]
I have to say, this has been a weird season so far. I mean, Indiana, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss are in the top 5, Georgia Tech, BYU, Vandy, Virginia and South Florida are in the top 20 and 2 of the preseason top 5 didn’t receive a solitary vote in week 8, including Iowa’s […]
Obviously anytime our precious Rebels lose, it’s agonizing, but I liked the alliteration. Well, that, and the fact that this might actually be pure agony were this EA Sports simulation accurate. At this point, they are shooting 50% so the odds are in our favor? Game Flow Ole Miss receives the opening kick off and […]
Few rivalries in college football capture the pageantry, pride, and pure emotion quite like Notre Dame vs. USC. Every meeting between these two storied programs feels like a chapter in an epic novel—written in gold helmets and cardinal jerseys, under bright lights and brighter expectations. The 1989 showdown in South Bend was no exception. It […]
Jonathan Taylor the difference against Chargers! Hoosiers should pound Spartans
O said that this preview should simply state that “Indiana is very good and MSU is very bad.” I’m not sure he was fully serious but that certainly is an accurate summation. When MSU travels to Bloomington, IN to take on the Hoosiers, it may well be a matchup of the best team in the […]
SMU is an explosive offense that piles up yards through the air while its defense generates splash plays (turnovers and sacks) and a strong pass rush — but it gives up a lot of total yards. This season, their outcomes have depended on explosive plays and turnovers, not steady efficiency. That volatility makes them dangerous […]
In the midst of the Mariners playing an electric, marathon 15-inning Game 5 of the ALDS, the Washington Huskies took on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights for another round of Friday Night Lights at Husky Stadium. Yet again, UW looked like they were in trouble in the first half before outscoring Rutgers 28-6 in the second […]
The Rutgers Athletic Department has launched RNIL, an in-house Name, Image, and Likeness organization dedicated to securing high-impact partnerships and maximizing opportunities for Scarlet Knight student-athletes through the Scarlet Assets Management Company. RNIL will have several activations at athletics events this weekend, including one at Rutgers Football’s homecoming game on Saturday vs Oregon, and one […]
The three biggest ACC football questions of the week. Here we go for Week 8. Who takes a massive step towards the ACCCG Duke or Georgia Tech? Both Duke and Georgia Tech are 3-0 in the ACC, and the winner of their matchup gets the inside track to facing very likely Miami in the ACCCG. … Continue reading »

After another walloping — this time at the hands of Clemson — Boston College limps into another home date this Saturday. With regional rivals UConn coming into town, the line currently sits at BC -1.5 with the O/U at 58.5, let’s get into it: I’ll keep this short and sweet. Until BC proves it has […]
Josh Downs in PROTOCOL! Bo Knows Best! IU ready for Sparty? Weather an issue!
Don’t get too far down the road, we really need to look at this season as a major shift. We’d have to check, but this season the early firings of head coaches at the FBS collegiate level might be setting some records, it certainly is ringing alarm bells, and roiling coaching searches. Been Here Before […]
BYU and Utah are set to meet for the 97th time (according to BYU) in what is known to most as the Holy War. First, why is it the “Holy War”? Wikipedia explains that it’s the Holy War because “the fact that BYU is owned and administered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day […]
There’s no question that Demond Williams Jr.‘s performance on Friday night was one of the greatest statistical outputs of the 2025 season. He became just the 16th quarterback to ever throw for 400+ yards and run for 100+ yards in the same game. He also became just the 2nd quarterback of the decade to put […]
Boston College (1-5) opens a slight favorite home to UConn (4-2), but the #analytics are putting them as an 8.5 point favorite…. And as we all love to hear, Bill O’Brien agrees. I can’t even blame them, but based on the little of UConn I’ve watched for some godforsaken reason, I refuse to believe it. […]
Week 6 was a mostly quiet week but saw the season debut of Esezi Otomewo and the NFL debut of Danny Striggow in Jacksonville where he recorded his first NFL tackle. Safety U was in full view as both Tyler Nubin and Antoine Winfield had their most productive games of the season thus far. Here […]
It’s Wednesday, so you know what that means… time for the blog that gives you the internet’s most ridiculous college football preview series- it’s #FakeNunes time. Can we keep finding ways to get #jokesandgarbage into a Syracuse Orange preview? You be the judge…. Now onto this week’s opponent Opponent: Pittsburgh Panthers Location: Pittsburgh, PA Students: 29,927 students who are living […]
Welcome to The Shotgun/Throwdown, your daily West Virginia sports roundup (that we didn’t already talk about in another article) with some sophomoric humor and daily distractions thrown in for good measure. And if there’s something we missed, be sure to talk about it in the comments. NO PATIENCE Rich Rodriguez didn’t spend the bye week preaching patience. He’s […]
