It’s Tennessee Week, so it goes without saying that this Saturday is a big game for Florida.

PISCATAWAY – Not too long ago, the idea that Rutgers football could have multiple true freshmen stepping up and making big plays would’ve seemed hard to believe. But that’s changing quickly.

Oct. 8—LEIPSIC — With a little less than four minutes left in the first half of Friday’s key Blanchard Valley Conference football game, McComb led Leipsic 21-0. McComb seemed to be in complete control.

The word of the week in the Missouri football facility: “Responsibility.” Mizzou head coach Eli Drinkwitz said it no fewer than 10 times during his weekly press conference Tuesday, three days after Missouri suffered its first loss of the season — and its first loss since Nov. 4, 2023 — on Saturday at Kyle Field, where Texas A&M dismantled Mizzou in …
