College Football with Sam

The Maryland Terrapins earned a hard-fought 13-10 win over Nebraska Football on Saturday, a win that claimed Marland bowl eligibility and highlighted quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa. Make no mistake, Mike Locksley won this road game over Matt Rhule because he had the superior quarterback room. Nebraska quarterbacks Heinrich Haarberg, Jeff Sims, and Chubba Purdy combined for less than 100 passing yar...

Michigan Football continues its undefeated season, National Championship and Big Ten Championship hopes after beating the Top 10 Penn State Nittany Lions 24-15. Again, Penn State Football failed to beat the Michigan Wolverines or the Ohio State Buckeyes under James Franklin. The Wolverines won this game because their staff, led by offensive coordinator, offensive line coach, and interim head coach...

Both Nebraska and Maryland are 5-4. That means they are each one win away from bowl eligibility, and with one of them guaranteed to win Saturday, this game means a great deal to both teams. There is a sense of optimism surrounding Nebraska Football that has been dead since the start of the Scott Frost era. This is despite a tough road loss to Michigan State last week, but the great recruiting, phy...

Jim Harbaugh has been suspended by Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti because Michigan Football has violated the conference's sportsmanship policy. Per Pete Thamel, the Big Ten has been considering handing down a punishment to Jim Harbaugh since Sunday, but there were delays in the announcement due to letters of protest from the University of Michigan. These punishments ranged from suspension t...

Michigan vs Penn State is undoubtedly College Football's highest-quality matchup of Week 11. I don't think even Georgia vs Ole Miss can compete for that title, as I think Michigan is better than Georgia, and Penn State is superior to Ole Miss. I have picked Michigan to win this game, and yesterday I made a video discussing five reasons why I think James Franklin can earn his first Top 10 r...

Today, I and @Marquishimo will be previewing Florida State vs. Miami. @Marquishimo is a Florida State Football highlights channel owned by Marcus, whom I met during a few trips I took to Florida. He is a Florida State fan and is intensely knowledgeable about ACC Football. Florida State Football has already clinched a spot in the ACC Championship Game and they are undefeated with a 9-0 (7-0) record...

Lincoln Riley and his USC Trojans travel to Autzen Stadium to take on one of the best teams in all of College Football, the Oregon Ducks. Oregon Football is a -15.0 point favorite in a matchup that was circled in the preseason as a potential College Football Playoff play-in game. Despite Dan Lanning and his squad being heavy favorites, USC has more than a shot to win this game. The Trojans have a...

Michigan vs Penn State is undoubtedly College Football's highest-quality matchup of Week 11. I don't think even Georgia vs Ole Miss can compete for that title, as I think Michigan is better than Georgia, and Penn State is superior to Ole Miss. I have picked Michigan to win this game, but there are several reasons why the Nittany Lions can come out on top. For one, Penn State's defense...

At 7:30 PM EST, the undefeated, 9-0 Ohio State Buckeyes take on the 3-6 Michigan State Spartans. While Ohio State is a massive favorite in this game, wins are never guaranteed, and overlooking Michigan State Football could lead to disaster. Interim head coach Harlon Barnett earned his first victory against Nebraska last weekend, and I expect his team to play with emotion and fire under the lights....

The College Football Playoff Rankings for Week 11 have been released, so I will release my own Rankings. In today's video, I will discuss the Top 10 teams in the 2023 College Football season. I will also discuss my College Football Playoff predictions. I think that Georgia, Michigan, Florida State, and Oregon will make this year's playoff, with all but Oregon Football being undefeated and...

The Michigan Wolverines will take on the Penn State Nittany Lions at 12:00 PM EST in Beaver Stadium this Saturday. This is expected to be the biggest game of the week, outside of potential Georgia vs Ole Miss, and there are a lot of ramifications that will result from this game. Michigan is undefeated and ranked 3rd in the College Football Playoff Rankings, however, with their weak schedule, a los...

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are going bowling! Last week Rutgers Football competed with Ohio State and in the prior weeks, they competed with a healthy Wisconsin on the road and played tight with Michigan Football for two quarters. They went 0-3 in those games, but Rutgers is 6-0 in every other game they have played this season and their defense, trench play, and special teams have been impressive...

Michigan vs Penn State is no doubt College Football's biggest game of the week. In this video, I provide a deep analysis of both the Michigan Wolverines and the Penn State Nittany Lions, discussing their strengths, weaknesses, identity, and what we know about them entering this Top 10 matchup. Michigan is the most efficient team in the country according to ESPN Analytics, and they are also No....

Houston Texans rookie quarterback CJ Stroud set an NFL record for passing yards in a single game by a rookie on Sunday afternoon. Stroud was selected as the No.2 overall pick by the Texans in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Stroud went 30-42 for 470 yards and 5 touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is an elite quarterback, a great leader, and an awesome person, and I hope that he...

Are the Oregon Ducks one of the best teams in all of College Football? Despite having one loss and not being ranked in the Top 5 of the AP Poll, I think Oregon Football is the most dominant team in the country along with Michigan Football. While the Wolverines are dealing with their own sign-stealing mess and have not played a Top 25 team yet, Oregon has faced an elite team on the road in Washingt...

Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers had the perfect opportunity to clinch bowl eligibility yesterday afternoon. Michigan State Football was 2-6 and looked lifeless in October, meanwhile, Nebraska was 5-3 and they were building momentum after starting Heinrich Haarberg at quarterback. Regardless, the Spartans came out with a clutch 20-17 win, earning them their first Big Ten victory of the 2023...

Rutgers gave Ohio State Football their all, but that wasn't enough to overcome TreVeyon Henderson, Marvin Harrison Jr, and Jordan Hancock. Despite Kyle McCord's struggles and Rutgers' control of the clock, Ohio State's offense produced 4 touchdowns and had a balanced attack. Running backs dominated this game, with TreVeyon Henderson having 128 rushing yards and Kyle Monangai having...

Ryan Walters ripped Jim Harbaugh's team for cheating in the pre-game, and Michigan Football ripped apart Purdue Football in response. Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy passed for 335 yards on 37 attempts yesterday. He had some off throws and his footwork was mediocre, but he played all four quarters and got quality repetitions against a Purdue defense that was vicious along the defensive front....

James Franklin and his team are in a tough spot right now. Penn State Football is coming off of a two-game streak where their offense has looked lethargic and their defense has broken down. I still believe the Nittany Lions are a Top 10 team, but their offense has to improve and their defense and special teams must stay strong in order for the team to have a chance at beating Michigan on November...

Washington Football and USC Football will take the field at 7:30 PM PST to face off in a critical Pac-12 matchup. USC is 7-2, but they only have one conference loss and a win in the Colesium will help revive their Pac-12 Championship hopes. However, the Washington Huskies have a formidable offense and a competent defense. Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr is the commander of their vaunted pa...

Michigan Football is still reeling from the reports about their sign-stealing operation. Purdue Football, meanwhile, is losing. The Wolverines are the most efficient team in all of College Football, bringing the most efficient defense and second most efficient offense according to ESPN. Purdue has a poor offense and defense, though they have generated 24 sacks and have high-upside players all acro...

Rutgers is coming off a bye week, and their opponent this week is the Ryan Day-led Ohio State Buckeyes. Ohio State Football is undefeated and ranked No.1 in the first College Football Playoff rankings of the 2023 season. They are known for their elite defense and passing game featuring the marvelous Marvin Harrison Jr. Rutgers, on the other hand, is known for pounding the rock, rushing for 178.8 y...

Happy Halloween! Today, I want to give my way too early thoughts on the Michigan vs. Ohio State game. These are arguably the two best teams in all of College Football, with the Wolverines being No.1 in Game Control, No.2 in FPI, and No.1 in Team Efficiency and the Buckeyes being No.2 in Game Control, No.1 in FPI, and No.3 in Team Efficiency, all per ESPN. Michigan Football is also No.1 in my Poten...

I had friends tell me that this game was going to be more balanced and entertaining than the Washington vs. Oregon matchup. Those predictions, along with my own 35-33 prediction in favor of the Ducks, aged extremely poorly. Dan Lanning did not even have to take risks on 4th down to win, as Bo Nix, Bucky Irving, and Troy Franklin sliced and diced the Utes' defense. Nix went 24-31 for 248 yards...

Nebraska Football earned their 5th win of the season in a suffocating 31-14 victory over the Purdue Boilermakers. Heinrich Haarberg went 6-11 for 122 yards and 2 touchdowns in a game that was dominated by defense, running the ball, chewing the clock, and special teams play. Nebraska won in all aspects of the sport, minus the turnover battle. The Blackshirts held Purdue quarterback Hudson Card to T...
