After some pre-game theatrics that no one has claimed, Texas A&M defensive back Will Lee III was thrust into the spotlight on Saturday morning against Missouri. A blank and pleasant message was left in the hotel room of Missouri wide receiver Theo Wease who then posted it on his Instagram story. That prompted him to then wear the blanket around …

Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian has spent 21 of the last 24 years on a college football sideline. He coached in the Iron Bowl between Auburn and Alabama. He led Washington in the Apple Cup against Washington State and the Border War against Oregon. He manned the headset several times for USC’s traditional rivalry game against Notre Dame. Before any …

Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia drew a lot of comparisons to Heisman-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel after Pavia led the Commodores to a shocking 40-35 upset over the then-No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide. He caught the attention of Manziel himself. “Sitting there watching the whole thing play out… feels like 2012 for me,” Manziel told Pavia, surprising him during an interview on …

David had a sling, we have Pavia. Those words on a banner hung outside the Sigma Nu fraternity house at Vanderbilt last week predicted what would happen in Saturday’s game against No. 1 Alabama. Sigma Nu likened Commodores quarterback Diego Pavia to the biblical story of David and Goliath, where a young shepherd named David takes down a giant Goliath …

In a moment of total transparency, standing in front of a semicircle of reporters in Schembechler Hall for the first time since his spring 2023 arrival, Michigan football quarterback Jack Tuttle admitted none of this was expected. Not a seventh year of eligibility. Not a starting job. Heck, as recently as this spring, not even throwing a football. Michigan quarterback …

It’s been more than 13 months since Connor Stalions was on Central Michigan’s sidelines during its game at Michigan State. CMU’s administration and head coach still haven’t said what happened. They know what happened. We’ve all known since late October of last year that a man who looked a whole lot like the disgraced former University of Michigan football staffer …

Alabama football is looking to get its third-down defense back on track against South Carolina. Considering South Carolina has one of the worst third-down conversion rates in the country at 30%, ranking 121st out of 133 teams, opportunity is knocking. Banging, rather. Co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Maurice Linguist said Tuesday that the Crimson Tide has spent the week …

After having a bye week to tune things up and get healthy, it’s time for a matchup that could likely determine the trajectory of the rest of LSU’s season. The Tigers host Ole Miss in Week 7 on Saturday, and they’re looking to avenge a loss in Oxford last season while avoiding falling to the Rebels in Tiger Stadium for …

Auburn football still can’t seem to get out of its own way, which was proved evident by an apparent miscommunication during the Tigers’ 31-13 loss to Georgia in Week 6. Quarterback Payton Thorne and the Tigers (2-4, 0-3 SEC) faced a fourth-and-1 on their own 44-yard line to start the fourth quarter against the Bulldogs. Thorne was inevitably stuffed on …

The good thing about getting blown off the field in your first game of the season is, at least you’ve found your floor. When your opponent stomps you by a factor of 10 — even if that opponent is the University of Georgia — well, there’s only one direction to go from there. Just look at Clemson now. Forgotten Clemson, …

LSU recently received some good news on the recruiting front as the Tigers are projected to flip a four-star safety who is currently committed to Houston. Jacob Bradford is a 5-foot-11, 195-pound, four-star safety from LSU’s backyard. He plays for Catholic High School in Baton Rouge. Bradford is a member of the 2025 recruiting class and he has been committed …

Ole Miss hung 55 points on LSU in Oxford last year. It was one of the worst defensive performances in program history and the beginning of the end for former LSU defensive coordinator Matt House. Following the season, head coach Brian Kelly made wholesale changes on the defensive side of the ball, hiring Blake Baker away from Missouri to run …

He left last week for his compound in Texas, a few days away during the open week to refocus and recalibrate from it all. It didn’t take long to jump right back into the circus. “As quick as they jump on (the bandwagon),” Deion Sanders said Tuesday during his weekly press conference at Colorado, “They can jump off.” And away …

ESPN “College GameDay” may not be going to the Red River Rivalry this week, but the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns will still have ESPN’s top broadcast crew on the call for Saturday’s game. Despite “GameDay” choosing to go to Eugene, Oregon in Week 7 for Ohio State vs. Oregon, the Sooners and the Longhorns will still get ESPN’s …
