College Football with Sam

It took the Buckeyes three quarters, but eventually, Ohio State Football pulled away from Maryland to win 37-17. Maryland Football has a bright future with Mike Locksley as their head coach, but unfortunately, Taulia Tagovailoa made too many mistakes and the Terrapins' defense could not hold Ohio State down forever. Ohio State rushed for 62 yards on 33 carries, with Chip Trayanum having 61 rus...

JUST TAKE A KNEE!! The Miami Hurricanes lost to the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets 23-20 yesterday night. It was an ugly game from start to finish, with quarterback Tyler Van Dyke going 24-36 for 288 yards, 1 touchdown, and 3 interceptions. However, Miami head coach Mario Cristobal and his team had every opportunity to win this game and pull away when it mattered most. Instead, due to several mismanag...

Texas and Oklahoma are set to have one of their best matchups in the past decade of College Football. Oklahoma Football is averaging 510 yards of offense right now and quarterback Dillon Gabriel has improved by leaps and bounds, passing for nearly 1,600 yards and 15 touchdowns. The defense has also taken a step forward, with their worst performance being against Iowa State, where they allowed 20 p...

Nebraska Football and Illinois Football are battling it out on Friday night for their last chance at redeeming their season. While, technically, each team could lose and still reach bowl eligibility, I think that is rather unlikely. Both teams are coming off of embarrassing losses in Week 5. Nebraska lost to Michigan 7-45 and Illinois lost to Purdue 19-44. Illinois quarterback Luke Altmyer has str...

The 2024-2028 Big Ten Conference schedules were released today and I am more impressed with this schedule release than I was with the last. Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA are joining the Big Ten at the beginning of the 2024 College Football season, and along with Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Maryland, and Wisconsin, those four former Pac-12 schools are having success in the 2023 College Fo...

I expect this game to be an undefeated matchup in the preseason. While Jim Harbaugh and Michigan Football have fulfilled my end of the bargain, along with Ohio State and Penn State, the remainder of the Big Ten, especially Minnesota Football, has fallen short of my expectations. Minnesota is 3-2 right now, and despite Potential Power being high on the Gophers, the on-field results are anything but...

College Football's 2023 season has been chaotic, and Week 5 nearly turned the stove stop to a 10. Auburn played No.1 Georgia down to the wire, rushing for ~250 yards and forcing several vital turnovers. Washington Football struggled on the road at night against an inconsistent Arizona team. Finally, Duke nearly upset Notre Dame, only for the Fighting Irish to pull away with Sam Hartman and Aud...

An upset win for Maryland results in the College Football world lights itself on fire. A dominant performance by Ohio State results in College Football's 2023 season pursuing business as usual. Over 80% of all public bets are on Maryland to cover a 19.5-point spread that is modest for an Ohio State home game. That implies that many think this game will be competitive. However, Ohio State has s...

How good is Ohio State Football? Are the 2023 Buckeyes elite, or are they overrated? Ryan Day won another Top 10 matchup in Week 4 against Notre Dame, and now with a 4-0 record, the Buckeyes only have conference games ahead of them. I think Ohio State has an elite defense this season, but that won't be enough to help them win the Big Ten or a National Title unless their offense continues to im...

Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines were supposed to face their first test of the 2023 College Football season. Instead, in front of around 80,000 opposing fans, Michigan football beheaded Nebraska by a score of 45-7, for all the world to see. With Penn State, Georgia, and Washington struggling yesterday, Michigan had one of Saturday's most impressive performances. Michigan quarterback JJ...

Michigan State Football is coming off of two losses in a row having a combined score of 72-16, and their nighttime adversary, the Iowa Hawkeyes, is coming off a 31-0 loss to Penn State. Both Michigan State and Iowa have had issues at quarterback, with Noah Kim and Cade McNamara respectively throwing only 2 touchdowns or less for every one interception thrown. Both offenses are also completing less...

Penn State Football annihilated Iowa in Penn State's annual White Out game. With a final score of 31-0, James Franklin shut out Kirk Ferentz's squad and secured a quality win in the Big Ten Conference. Quarterback Drew Allar has now thrown for 8 touchdowns and 0 interceptions and it appears that the Nittany Lions have a capable offense that also has the capacity to turtle up and play a con...

USC Football and Colorado Football will take the field Saturday at Noon EST, 10:00 AM MST, with a chance to produce Saturday's most entertaining game. I say this because both schools, while highly different in their roots and base, are similar. Both schools have great offenses who can zip the football through the air, but defenses that could not stop a nosebleed to save their life. USC quarter...

There were several great matchups in College Football's Week 4. Ohio State beat Notre Dame on the 2nd to last play of the game, and Florida State beat Clemson, in overtime, for the first time since 2014. Today, we will be analyzing who I think College Football's 10 best teams are. Notre Dame Football, Oregon State Football, and USC Football are some notable programs that missed my Week 5 T...

The last time Michigan Football and Jim Harbaugh played at Nebraska, the Wolverines escaped with a 32-29 win over an underrated Nebraska squad. This time around, I think Michigan is better than their 2021 selves and Nebraska is probably worse, but this is Michigan's first road game of the year and they are facing a team that has some key similarities. Both College Football teams are chewing ar...

The Iowa Hawkeyes were chewed up like a piece of gum by Penn State. The Nittany Lions held Iowa's offense to less than 100 total yards and forced 4 total turnovers. James Franklin's squad also had 45 minutes and 27 seconds of possession. Penn State quarterback Drew Allar once again had a turnover-free game as he threw for 166 yards and 4 touchdowns. The defense also had 3 sacks and forced...

To be the man, you have to beat the man, and Florida State Football is one step closer to being the man of the ACC. Florida State beat Clemson 31-24 in overtime on Saturday. Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis accounted for 3 of the Seminoles' 4 touchdowns on Saturday, with the other touchdown being a scoop and score by linebacker Kalen DeLoach. Clemson outgained Florida State 429 to 311 i...

Michigan Football's Mike Sainristil slipped and allowed Rutgers wide receiver Christian Dremel to take a 69-yard reception to the house for a touchdown. After that play, Sainristil, along with the rest of the Wolverines, played a near-flawless game of College Football. Mike Sainristil later collected an interception and returned it for 6 points in the 3rd quarter. On offense, JJ McCarthy went...

My reaction to this game was full of adrenaline. The minute Chip Trayanum punched the ball into the endzone, steamrolling and churning his legs forward against Notre Dame's defensive line, I knew that the game was won by Ohio State. But after blowing a 10-0 lead and surrendering the football due to multiple, inexcusable errors, how did Ohio State Football march down to Notre Dame's endzone...

Week 4 of the 2023 College Football season will feature the most Top 25 matchups in a week since 2015. Today, we will be discussing who I think College Football's 10 best teams are. Notre Dame Football and USC Football are some notable programs that missed my Week 4 Top 10, while Oregon State, Utah, and Oregon are teams that are in my Top 10 despite either the AP or Coaches poll leaving them o...

The Iowa Hawkeyes and Kirk Ferentz travel to Beaver Stadium to play in Penn State Football's annual White Out game. Both teams are 3-0 and ranked in the Top 25, with Penn State being ranked No.7 and Iowa ranked No.24. Both teams also have phenomenal defenses, specifically elite secondaries. On paper, this game looks to be a defensive showdown, but I think the offenses will be involved because...

Today, myself and @Marquishimo will be previewing Florida State vs. Clemson. @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. The Seminoles and Tigers have an intense rivalry that has decided the ACC nearly every year, with Clemson winning the ri...

Michigan Football had a strange and concerning performance against Bowling Green last week. Quarterback JJ McCarthy threw 3 interceptions and he nearly had 2 more turnovers, along with the special teams having an ugly performance in the kick return game. On the year, McCarthy has 701 passing yards, 7 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions, while running back Blake Corum has 254 rushing yards and 6 touchd...

In a classic Top 10 matchup, the No.6 Ohio State Buckeyes will take on the No.9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish this Saturday night. Both teams' quarterbacks are Top 10 in efficiency according to ESPN, with Kyle McCord having passed for 815 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 1 interception, while Sam Hartman has passed for 1,061 yards and 13 touchdowns. Both teams are also Top 5 in total defense and have expl...

Penn State and James Franklin kept their eyes forward and pounded the rock, eventually beating Illinois 30-13. Illinois Football put up a great effort on defense, but 5 offensive turnovers, 4 of them being interceptions, proved too much for Bret Bielema and his roster to overcome. Illinois defensive lineman Jer'Zhan Newton wreaked havoc on Penn State's offensive line, forcing several press...
