NORMAN — In 36 years of coaching, Urban Meyer had never seen a coach huddle so close to a bull-rushing defensive line during live practices. Yet, there was Kevin Wilson, then Ohio State’s offensive coordinator, mere yards behind behemoths drill after drill for two seasons. It wouldn’t matter if he was being zinged by footballs and smacked by players, Wilson stuck …

The transfer portal changed how college football rosters were built. Before the portal, teams were forced to count on a breakout player or be patient and develop a freshman. Now, you can hop in the portal and find impact players. Rebuilds aren’t long-term projects anymore. Done right, a program can turn its roster around in a single offseason. We saw …

A great annual offseason debate hinges on whether college football would benefit from an overarching commissioner – and whether Nick Saban would be the prime choice for the job, if ever created. We agree that a college football commissioner could enact some meaningful, widely popular changes within the sport, but we’re not ready to cede this responsibility to Saban, who …

Texas A&M’s 2025 football roster is not entirely set. Coach Mike Elko and his staff are looking to add more veteran talent from the transfer portal, especially along the defensive line. Once the spring portal opens, I expect Elko to be one of the more active coaches, but for the players on the roster, this month has been about building …

In early December, Texas Tech football coach Joey McGuire told reporters he intended to add 10 players, maybe as many as 12, from the NCAA transfer portal. With the financial backing of The Matador Club donor collective and the available talent, though, McGuire couldn’t help himself. He became the kid who walked into a candy store with a $50 bill. …

As we prepare for the spring practice period, the Nebraska Cornhuskers enter the 2025 season looking to improve on last year’s 7-6 record. The offense was a roller coaster throughout the 2024 season. The unit struggled early on, and on Nov. 11, 2024, head coach Matt Rhule made the unprecedented move of hiring a new offensive coordinator midseason when he …

With the news of potential changes to the College Football Playoff format, it makes sense to think about some changes that would benefit Notre Dame and many other teams across the country.

Stefan LeFors didn’t have many college offers coming out of high school in Louisiana. LeFors was mainly recruited as a defensive back; Louisville football was the only program that offered him a scholarship as a quarterback. LeFors came to Louisville in 2001 and played behind Dave Ragone, who didn’t have much knowledge about Louisville, either, when he signed with the …

BLOOMINGTON — Last year, Curt Cignetti’s first Indiana football spring season turned out to be an exciting preamble to a historic season. Hindsight proved the seeds of IU’s record-breaking 2024 were sown during Cignetti’s first months on the job. Now, the Hoosiers try to reload for another go. There are proven winners already bedded in at multiple positions, but if …
