Dark horse Heisman contender putting team on his back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Moxie. Star power. Swagger. Mojo. The “it” factor. “Je ne sais quoi.” These are all words that are used to describe an athlete when you don’t really understand what you’re watching, but you know that it’s good. A lot of those words have been used to describe Mississippi State’s Kamario Taylor to start this college football season. Taylor has led Mississippi State to a 4-0 start, averaging 298 passing yards per game and accounting for 15 total TDs. He has the Bulldogs ranked in the AP Top-25, and
Texas Tech was right to fight for Brendan Sorsby’s eligibility (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last college football season, Texas Tech ran roughshod over the rest of the Big 12. They finished the regular season 11-1 and dominated BYU in the Big 12 Championship. They won their Big 12 games by an average of 27 points per game. In 2026, Texas Tech is still the massive betting favorite to repeat as Big 12 champs. But the mystique that they carried with them last season is completely gone. A 28-26 victory at home over Houston is a warning sign that the gap between the Red Raiders and the rest
Steve Sarkisian is his own worst enemy this weekend vs Ohio State (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The University of Texas has not won a National Championship in college football since 2005. It’s a statement that doesn’t sound too outlandish when you say it out loud, but ask any Texas fan, and they’ll tell you that they very easily could have won at least 4 National Championships in that span. There’s the Michael Crabtree play that cost a prime opportunity to win in 2008, the Colt McCoy injury that is one of the greatest “what ifs” in football that transpired in 2009, and then a period of dow
Indiana’s Curt Cignetti should feel disrespected (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“It’s pretty simple: I win. Google me.” That was the first soundbite from the first press conference after Curt Cignetti was named the Head Coach of Alabama football. And in his first two years at Indiana, that’s exactly what he’s done. Cignetti immediately turned the program around in year 1 and won 11 games and was selected for a College Football Playoff berth in 2024. The encore in 2025 was something that no one could have seen coming – a perfect 15-0 season with a Big Ten Championship and a
Bill Belichick needs some ‘Luck of the Irish’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Bill Belichick Era in Chapel Hill has gotten off to a rough start. On the field, a subpar roster and a whiff on transfer quarterback Gio Lopez resulted in a 4-8 College Football season in Bill Belichick’s first as North Carolina Head Coach. Off the field, there’s HR Investigations, CSC probes, and curiosity about who wears the pants in Belichick’s relationship with Jordon Hudson. To start the season, the Tar Heels travel to Dublin, Ireland. For Bill’s sake, he’d better find the Blarney Stone
