For the last 119 years, Texas football and Oklahoma have gotten busy in the coolest rivalry in college football. Sure, people from the two states are biased, but show me a better annual matchup played in a neutral city with a State Fair as the backdrop, and then I’ll reconsider. Some of you have asked about my favorite Red River …

The writing could potentially be on the wall as Penn State is hoping to add another piece to its Class of 2025. Just days after hosting one potential safety in the recruiting class, that same player has backed off his commitment to an ACC school. Now, Penn State appears to be in a good position on the recruiting trail. Josh …

AMES, Iowa — Iowa State football players get a short history lesson almost every day from Matt Campbell. Very short. “133 years!” the coach might say or shout at practice or during a meeting. ISU has played 133 seasons and is yet to win an outright conference championship, and Campbell’s message is meant to inspire rather than call to mind …

Michigan football is still trying to find its way after stumbling to a 4-2 record to open up the first half of the 2024 season.

Who are the best high school football players in Central Texas through the first half of the regular season? It’s a fair question, even though 100 experts might give you 100 different answers. The American-Statesman will name its Central Texas offensive and defensive players of the year after the season, but these are our top seven midseason offensive and defensive …

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 …
