And Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz wasn’t old enough to get a …

BRONX, N.Y. — Since becoming bowl-eligible in mid-October, Greg Schiano had spoken a lot about progress being seen as a mile-marker for his program. The Rutgers football head coach sees Thursday’s win in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl in much the same way. For Schiano, the 31-24 win over Miami is a sign of progress. But for a program …

Dec. 29—This has been a banner year for Northeast Mississippi football prospects. We’ve had 10 seniors sign with FBS programs, including seven with Power 5 teams.

NEW ORLEANS — Way back in August when the Texas football team first gathered for summer workouts, the offensive line made no secret about its ambitions. Right tackle Christian Jones said the team wanted to win the Big 12 and put itself in position for the College Football Playoff.

In the final year of the Pac-12, it was not the program with the second-year coach who made the most headlines upon his arrival, the program with a returning Heisman Trophy winner as its quarterback, the program that was among the coveted first two out the door to the Big Ten. But if you were paying attention entering 2023, it …

Here’s what to understand about the 90th Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl: Friday’s game between No. 16 Notre Dame and No. 19 Oregon State features two rosters full of players who want to be in El Paso.

Bowl season rolls on into the final week of 2023, and one of the final bowls features what is essentially a home game for one Tennessee-based team. The Memphis Tigers (9-3) are the “visiting” team when they play the Iowa State Cyclones (7-5) in this year’s AutoZone Liberty Bowl. However, the stadium that hosts the bowl is none other than …

USATSI One of the best bowl games of Thursday took place in the Orlando with the Pop-Tarts Bowl between No. 18 NC State and No. 25 Kansas State. The meeting of ranked-on-ranked teams featured two of the more consistent programs across the last couple of seasons, but the game was defined by creativity and unpredictability.  Kansas State struck first with …
