NASHVILLE — As soon as Vanderbilt fans began to pour onto the football field at FirstBank Stadium on Saturday night, the University of Alabama got a bit richer. With Vanderbilt’s celebration of a 40-35 win against Alabama football came a $100,000 fine that is to be paid to the school that gets stormed upon. The SEC put these rules in …

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Tennessee football fans were in disbelief when quarterback Nico Iamaleava inexplicably ran out of bounds after time expired to seal a 19-14 shocking loss to Arkansas on Saturday.

Ranked teams were snakebitten on the road in Week 6 of the college football season — something No. 4 Tennessee found out the hard way.

SEATTLE — Everything was going wrong for Michigan football, which left head coach Sherrone Moore with little choice. His team fell into an early two-touchdown hole after three short, sputtering offensive drives to open the game, when he turned to seventh-year quarterback Jack Tuttle to replace Alex Orji in search of an offensive spark. To say it worked would be …

GAINESVILLE — The Florida Gators overpowered an overmatched opponent for the second game in a row, topping UCF 24-13 Saturday.

Squint hard enough, however, and you can find signs of growth — …
