Christmas came early for Dawg fans on Saturday with Georgia actually coming away with a mostly stress-free 60 minutes of football, going to Starkville and winning 42-21. Here are ten thoughts from all that shook out at Mississippi State. 1. Let’s face it. Saturday felt like an out-of-body experience. Minus an early score being given […]
Illinois beat Rutgers by a million, and then Rutgers beat Maryland by a million, so by the transitive property, Illinois will beat Maryland by a billion. At least that’s what FanDuel Sportsbook is saying on Sunday in the opening line for next Saturday’s game (2:30 p.m. on FS1). FanDuel lists the Illini as a 14.5-point […]
Let’s go, One! Illinois great Isaiah Williams returned a punt for a touchdown Sunday afternoon for the Jets. It was the lowly Jets’ second special teams TD of the first quarter against the Browns after they had a 99-yard kickoff return score earlier in the quarter. Williams started his NFL career last year with the […]
For the fifth consecutive game, the spread for Arizona football’s upcoming contest is less than a touchdown. That’s life in the Big 12. Arizona is a 6.5-point underdog for its road game at No. 22 Cincinnati Saturday, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The line opened a 4.5 points but bettors quickly jumped on the Bearcats. Kickoff […]
Bethany Brausen initially said no to joining Minnesota's coaching staff almost 10 years ago. Now, the St. Thomas head coach is leading the Tommies to new heights.
Evaluating a football team always comes down to context. All wins are not As. All losses are not Fs. This exact result against Duke, final score and stats, would be a happier evaluation, certainly, but it would also be much more complimentary. Fact: Stanford stinks. That fact must be taken into consideration. The fact that […]
West Virginia opens as a 9.5-point underdog on FanDuel Sportsbook for next Saturday’s trip to Tempe to face Arizona State. The Mountaineers sit at +315 on the moneyline, while the Sun Devils come in as -410 favorites. The total is set at 47.5 points. The line reflects where both teams stand heading into the final […]
It was another week, another heartbreak for Nittany Lions. Penn State suffered its sixth consecutive defeat by giving up a late touchdown to Indiana to fall 27-24. However, their fortunates are predicted to finally change in week 12 as Penn State opened as an 8.5-point favorite over Michigan State, according to FanDuel. Both teams have […]
Rutgers Head Coach Greg Schiano hosted his post-game press conference after the Scarlet Knights’ 35-20 win over Maryland. The first question Schiano was asked pertained to the improvement on the defensive side of the ball and how they were able to secure key stops and get off the field in the fourth quarter. Schiano responded […]
It may not have been what everyone was expecting, but around 4 o’clock yesterday, West Virginia won their second Big 12 game, moving into thirteenth place and keeping their slim but real bowl chances alive. This game featured a significant number of plays and chances but never felt as if West Virginia was in danger […]
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. The offense led the way, behind Antwan Raymond’s career-high 240-yard performance as well as a three-touchdown day for Ian Strong. Here are my takeaways from […]
FanDuel released this week’s college football lines and BYU is an early 6.5-point home favorite over TCU. The point total is 51.5. Both teams are coming off losses this weekend. BYU lost a 29-7 top 10 matchup on the road at Texas Tech while TCU lost 20-17 at home to Iowa State. The Horned Frogs’ […]
The Nittany Lions, with a new coach, and a new quarterback, just went through a gauntlet that would have been as difficult had the team not fallen apart two months ago. Against three of the four best teams on its schedule, back-to-back, they held a lead with seconds left in two of them, and gave […]
Teofimo Lopez spent a few minutes giving his immediate reaction to Vergil Ortiz’s knockout win over Erickson Lubin on Saturday night, admitting that he was surprised with how quickly Ortiz was able to get the job done. Here’s some of what Lopez had to say on his perspective of what took place inside the ring […]
Ten Fourteen Eighteen B1G Things The Rundown Northwestern takes the loss leader title from Indiana with loss to USC In this season of misery, I always take solace in the little things. MinnesotaWildcat: Ah, what could have been. Northwestern committed one of the great Fall’s Tarts of recent memory on a would’ve-been pick-six, USC remembered […]
A 24-point second quarter propelled the Buckeyes to a 34-10 victory over Purdue. Saturday’s game was headlined by the usual suspects: Jeremiah Smith, Julian Sayin, and Caleb Downs. Sayin had his usual efficient game with another 300+ yard performance and over 80% completion percentage. Notably, however, a few key pieces for the Buckeyes were absent […]
4 plays. Iowa sails a snap over Rhys Dakin’s head, a snap headed toward Riverside, for a safety in a game Iowa loses by 2. Nate Wetjen fumbles at the Oregon 14 on a drive destined for points. Iowa fails on a two-pointer at the very end of the game because a player slips at […]
UNLV broke the losing skid Saturday night in a dominant 42-10 victory over the Colorado State Rams. UNLV is a team that has been struggling defensively, but was able to hold the Colorado State offense to only ten points, marking the second time they have held a team to under 20 points this season. A […]
The offense for Carolina was horrid, to say the least. People were using the word “putrid” to describe the performance that led to a 3-3 score going into halftime. Those three points? They came on a turnover. UNC recovered the football in the shadow of the goal line and they were unable to actually gain […]
Before leaving on a jet plane back to God’s country yesterday Kirby Smart took a few moments to address the assembled media following his team’s 41-21 shellacking of the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Full video is below, but a few highlights included: As always special thanks to our friends at and Bulldawg Illustrated for the use […]
Happy Sunday Husky fans. Hopefully everyone can flush yesterday’s game out of their minds, because it wasn’t pretty any way that you slice it up. Flipping gears to the recruiting front, the Huskies extended a couple of new offers out this week in the 2026. Here is a look at who was offered: 4 star […]
LSU came to Tuscaloosa last night looking to salvage some pride from what has been a disappointing season. They held nothing back, from hyper-aggressiveness on the defensive side to benching starting QB Garrett Nussmeier in the second half to try and find a spark. They brought the fight and made life quite difficult for Alabama, […]
Another week, another dominant road performance by Texas A&M. This time, it was a 38-17 dismantling of Missouri in Columbia to get the Aggies to 9-0. Here are some of the numbers that tell the tale. Salient Stats #BTHOsouthcarolina!
Ohio State is no stranger to close games against Penn State, and with the scoreboard showing 17-14 at halftime, it looked like we could be in for another one of those classic battles. That was not to be the case, however, as the Buckeyes’ defense pitched a second half shutout and Julian Sayin further solidified […]
Of all the stock shots in the college football cameraman’s arsenal (sunset over the Rose Bowl, shirtless frat bros in the snow…) it’s the one he goes to more than any other. A football coach stands there in the waning moments of the game staring at nothing in particular. His team is losing. No, that’s […]
