We’ve already gotten word on OSU players that have entered the transfer portal and will be unavailable for the Cotton Bowl, and that goes with another key defender that won’t quite be ready to come back from injury. However, on the opposite …

The Ohio State football team is used to the big stage as one of college football’s blue bloods. It’s on a pretty significant stage again down in Dallas, taking part in the New Year’s Six Cotton Bowl. The Buckeyes’ opponent, on the other hand, isn’t so used to such a bright spotlight but but that doesn’t mean Missouri didn’t earn …

It sure seems like a long time ago since Ohio State walked off the field after losing to Michigan in Ann Arbor. Since then, we’ve received some transfer portal news, injury updates, and more, but everyone is anxious to see the Buckeyes get back on the field in the Cotton Bowl to wash that bad taste out of everyone’s mouth …

By the time the Ohio State football team takes the field in the Cotton Bowl against Missouri, it will have been over one month since it lost the last regular-season game against Michigan. That means there has been plenty of time for some bumps and bruises to heal, not only physically, but no doubt psychologically as well. However, there’s one …

Dec. 24—Since 2013, Florida State fans have never ridden so high as they did this season. Now, after a historic decision by the CFP committee, the Noles have never felt so low. It was a tremendous season for the Seminoles. Quarterback Jordan Travis was playing at a Heisman level and it felt like they had a spot in the playoffs …

The 2023 bowl season continues Saturday afternoon with an intriguing matchup between James Madison and Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas.

USC’s recruiting woes are detailed in a recent report from 247Sports which looked at blue-chip signees for the 2024 cycle. Blue-chip prospects are defined as four- and five-star recruits, anyone higher than a three-star player. We already noted that Oregon and its current coach, Dan Lanning, have nine more blue-chippers than USC, 17 to 8. Miami and Mario Cristobal have …

We are, however, going to point out a few specific programs which have done more than the Trojans. USC has pulled in eight blue-chip players for 2024. Oregon …

J.J. McCarthy knows what time it is. With Michigan football heading to Los Angeles this week to start preparation for the College Football Playoff semifinal in the Rose Bowl, the Wolverines quarterback is making sure he’ll be playing in style against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Unlike the last time that Michigan played in Pasadena in 2007, we’ve seen a big …

The 2024 early signing period has passed and Alabama landed some highly-touted recruits, including five-star quarterback Julian Sayin. A recent TikTok shared by Crimson Tide defensive back Terrion Arnold shows that Sayin is already in Tuscaloosa with the team. Sayin chose the Tide over other big-name programs like Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame and others. Current quarterback Jalen …

The Texas secondary is given a bad rap in regard to how it has performed this year. Some suggest that the unit is poor because of its struggles in coverage. Perhaps that’s not the full story. The Longhorns might actually have a good secondary that hasn’t always been put in a position to succeed. In several games, Texas has conceded …
