Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. BYU was certainly the former on this play. Tanner Mangum lofted a pass into a crowd, hoping to make something happen. After a few players batted the ball, it fell into the sure hands of Tanner Balderree for a touchdown.

One of the many things I love about bowl season is that coaches don’t hold anything back. Leading 28-17 with just 45 remaining in the first half, everyone in the stadium thought that Western Kentucky was going to take a knee and head to the locker room with a double-digit lead. The Hilltoppers had other […]

Western Kentucky opened up their offense a bit in the first quarter of the Boca Raton bowl with this play….. Too late for a

Christian McCaffrey is doing the right thing by sitting out the Sun Bowl to begin preparing for the NFL draft. Make no mistake about it: McCaffrey has nothing to gain and everything to lose if he were to play in this contest. Even with a monster game against North Carolina, his NFL draft stock couldn’t […]
LSU’s win over Wisconsin and Auburn’s win over Kansas State did more to shape perceptions (and resumes) in the 2014 college football season than any other non-conference games. This point cannot be forgotten when a full account of the season is ultimately rendered.

Sometimes, it feels like people find issues with things just because they’re not happy unless they’re finding issues with things. Happiness? Tranquility? What is it good for? The latest installment in Fake Outrage University, of which about 90 percent of the country sometimes feels like it has a degree from, is star college football players […]

The Arkansas State Red Wolves blew out Central Florida 31-13 in the Cure Bowl to cap off another solid season. That’s not to say that ASU was perfect. It clearly wasn’t. The Red Wolf offense struggled for most of the evening, rushing 38 times for 29 yards and completing only 12 of 26 passes. As […]

Check out this catch by Youngstown State as they came from behind to beat Eastern Washington and head to the finals of the FCS Playoffs where they will face James Madison (who earlier upset North Dakota State)…… Catch of the Year!! Youngstown State's Kevin Rader sends the Penguins to Frisco with an AMAZING snag!

The Appalachian State Mountaineers held off a late Toledo rally to win the Camellia Bowl 31-28, giving the team a signature victory to close out the 2016 campaign. Make no mistake about it: this was an impressive win for the Mountaineers. After all, Toledo entered the game with a 9-3 mark that included a 31-10 […]

In the fourth quarter of the Las Vegas Bowl, San Diego State RB Donnel Pumphrey broke Ron Dayne’s all-time career FBS rushing record. Here’s the play that put Pumphrey over the top….. “A historic moment in college football history.” We couldn’t be more proud of one of our own, Donnel Pumphrey.

Jim Leavitt is a great choice to lead the Oregon defense. Under his guidance, the Duck D will get back to where it was under longtime defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti. Make no mistake about it: Oregon’s defense has declined rapidly ever since Aliotti retired at the end of the 2013 season. Sure, the Ducks played […]

Now that Lane Kiffin is the head coach at Florida Atlantic, Nick Saban needs to hire a new offensive coordinator. Who should he bring in to run the Tide offense? Here’s a list of four candidates that Alabama should interview for offensive coordinator (although it doesn’t mean the school will interview them!) 4. Sterlin Gilbert […]

If Tom Clancy or Chris Carter ever decide to pursue doing something about college football, at least they finally have a real-life template. As we all know by now, a former Wake Forest assistant turned radio commentator Tommy Elrod was outed as giving game-planning material of the Demon Deacons to opponents over the past three […]

Given what he’s been through the past few years, expect Lane Kiffin to succeed at Florida Atlantic. Make no mistake about it: some experts didn’t think that Kiffin would ever become a head coach again. After all, he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way by leaving Tennessee after just one season to take […]

Charlie Strong is a home-run hire for the South Florida Bulls. Under his leadership, USF will win its first outright conference championship in school history. Make no mistake about it: Strong walks into a great situation in Tampa. Unlike his previous stops at Louisville and Texas, there’s no need to rebuild everything from scratch. Willie […]

Former Baylor Bears QB Jarrett Stidham committed to the Auburn Tigers on Saturday evening….. Stidham played in 10 games as a freshman in 2015 for Baylor. He completed 68.8% of his passes with 12 TD against 2 INT with 1265 yards passing. How well he fits into the Auburn offense remains to be seen but […]
