The Miami Hurricanes got back in the win column on Saturday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium, thrashing the Syracuse Orange 38-10 with a big second half surge. For the first 27 minutes of game time, Miami was lethargic and uninspiring on offense. Finally, they found the end zone on offense with two minutes left in […]
It’s been a sour last month or so for Miami football. A 5-0 start that saw Miami right near the top of the polls and playoff projections has tumbled into a nightmarish stretch that put their playoff hopes in doubt and their ACC title game chances somehow even more dire. The selection committee’s initial rank […]
Somehow, some way, the Bears found a way to win a football game. Part of me is still so annoyed, but it was a win, and we never apologize for winning in the NFL. Bears Instant Grades Offense QB Caleb Williams | A Caleb Williams, despite having his pass-catchers fail him, led the Bears to a win. It wasn’t his best performance, but there were just so many drops. I’ll let Patrick break down the tape later in the week, but I had a hard time finding many issues with Caleb’s game...
All that matters is the win, and in this case, getting that sixth victory meant Arizona will be playing in a bowl game this season. Saturday’s 24-20 comeback win over Kansas wasn’t pretty, and in some ways was downright ugly, and the grades given by Pro Football Focus are indicative of this. The Wildcats (6-3, […]

The Beaver Stadium crowd came up big […]

Well, things in Husker Nation just got kind of interesting. I know many Husker fans were concerned how the absence of Nebraska’s team captain and starting quarterback was going to affect the prospects for the season.

Penn State completed their gauntlet of top-two teams in both the Coaches Poll and the Associated Press ranking, and three other conference foes remain in the polls.

That fact must be taken into consideration. The fact that […]

It was a season-saving performance by the Scarlet Knights, as they flushed their blowout loss to Illinois and dominated their matchup against the Maryland Terrapins for most of the afternoon.
