It’s a sight that Miami Hurricanes football fans have become accustomed to, the turnover chain. Since the 2017 season, after every takeaway, the Hurricanes player responsible for the play donned a massive, 10-karat gold ‘turnover chain.’ Well, college football fans won’t be seeing it anymore. New Miami football head coach Mario Cristobal has shockingly decided […]

The Vanderbilt Commodores have been known more for their work on the hardwood than for their prowess in college football.

It’s going to be an interesting season for Dabo Swinney’s Clemson Tigers in 2022, especially at the quarterback position. Last year, starter D.J.
