The AP, of course, was typically the primary […]

The Florida football team started their 2023 season in disappointing fashion on Thursday night with a 24-11 road loss against a shorthanded Utah football team.

You can see he […]

When was the last time Colorado football was in a highly anticipated opening week game? Or, for that matter, when were they in a highly anticipated game period?

Nebraska fans excited to watch first-year head coach Matt Rhule usher in a new era of Cornhuskers football were horrified as the team lost its season-opener to Minnesota in all-too-familiar fashion.

Matt Rhule has learned to temper the expectations of the Nebraska football fans. He had asked the Cornhuskers led by Jeff Sims to step up regardless of his rookie mistakes as a head coach.

Ronnie Bell was a fan favorite with Michigan football while he was in Ann Arbor. He had quite the up and down career with the Wolverines, and was always a great player on the field, and a terrific person off the field. In 2019, he dropped a crucial fourth down touchdown in a game against […]

Alabama football coach Nick Saban seems to believe that college football’s latest evolution might be a return to the way the game used to be played.
