HOUSTON — For the second time in a week, Michigan football prepared for a College Football Playoff game in a domed NFL stadium with a large glass roof. Just days after U-M hosted its final practice in preparation for the Rose Bowl at the Chargers’ and Rams’ SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, it hosted its first practice in Texas for …

Few defensive lineman have come through Notre Dame or the San Francisco 49ers and made the impact Bryant Young made. At Notre Dame he helped lead a downright nasty defense and make the middle of the line of scrimmage nearly impossible for opponents to generate anything through. In the NFL it was more of the same as Young stepped in …

Former Wisconsin offensive tackle Nolan Rucci committed to Penn State earlier today. He had entered the transfer portal just two days ago, so no time was wasted in finding a new home. Rucci was a five-star recruit in the class of 2021, ranked as the No. 17 player in the entire class, No. 5 offensive tackle and No. 1 recruit …

The 16th-ranked Clemson basketball team faced a massive ACC meeting with No. 9 North Carolina on Saturday. But the biggest storyline from the game had nothing to do with the competition (which UNC won 65-55). Instead, social media was more interested in one of the attendees of Saturday’s game: football coach Dabo Swinney. Why? Because he showed up with a …

Alabama is known for landing and helping produce some of the top running backs in the country. The Crimson Tide will have the opportunity to develop one of the nation’s top running back prospects.

Just hours after discussing why Penn State should be considered a leading favorite to land a commitment from the transfer portal from former Wisconsin offensive lineman Nolan Rucci, Penn State has already locked down the big-time commitment. Rucci reportedly has committed to Penn State out of the transfer portal a day after it was reported he had entered the transfer …

No. 1 South Dakota State will look to defend its title Sunday when it faces No. 2 Montana in the Division I FCS national championship. For those seeking any last little bit of college football before Monday’s College Football Playoff National Championship, Sunday’s action is the perfect appetizer.  The Jackrabbits knocked off rival North Dakota State last season to capture …

His Michigan team’s College Football Playoff championship game matchup against Washington Monday night isn’t the only thing looming in front of Jim Harbaugh. Following the completion of the Wolverines’ season Monday, their coach will have to decide whether he remains in Ann Arbor or departs for the NFL. As his team gets ready for the program’s biggest game of the …

The Michigan Wolverines will try to win the national championship when they face the Washington Huskies on Monday. It’s good for Michigan that the Wolverines aren’t facing USC with the national title on the line. In the past, that scenario hasn’t worked out very well for the Maize and Blue. In the 1979 Rose Bowl, USC stopped No. 5 Michigan …

One team’s undefeated dream season will come to a thudding halt, while the other will revel in storybook glory when the Washington Huskies meet the Michigan Wolverines on Monday in the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship game. The top-seeded Wolverines (14-0) mostly steamrolled the competition, with their 30-24 victory over Ohio State providing the closest margin of victory. But …

HOUSTON — There are two ways you can look at the last special teams play of the Rose Bowl: either Michigan football punt returner Jake Thaw nearly cost the Wolverines the game or he saved the maize and blue from losing the game. Actually, both things are true at the same time. But Thaw isn’t looking at it that way, …

It’s a right of passes for some of the elite high school football players to compete one last time on a national stage in an all-star game, and Notre Dame has a few players competing in those. Two of them, linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa and running back Kedren Young have impressed scouts enough for them to believe they will have immediate …
