College Football with Sam

Jim Harbaugh and his staff make the best second-half adjustments in the country. Michigan outscored Rutgers 38-0 in the 3rd and 4th quarters after trailing 14-17 at halftime. RBs Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards each had 109 rushing yards, with Corum having 2 rushing TDs and Edwards having 52 receiving yards and 1 receiving TD. Michigan's second-half performance is impressive, to say the least, and...

Ohio State's third road game of the season is.... *drum roll*.... Northwestern. That's right, a 1-7 (1-4) team whose only win this season came in Dublin Ireland against the Scott Frost-led Huskers. Pat Fitzgerald has not had a win on American soil since over a year ago, and that streak is continuing this weekend. The Wildcats have several issues, but perhaps the biggest adversity they face is comi...

Michigan and Ohio State seem to be guaranteed to face up as undefeated teams. However, nothing is guaranteed, as Michigan takes on Rutgers this Saturday and Ohio State travels to face Northwestern. Rutgers Football just won their first Big Ten home game in years against Indiana, before losing in a 0-31 shutout to Minnesota last game. Michigan is coming off an emotional 29-7 win over their in-state...

No.1 vs No.2, The Game of The Century. The last of these took place in 2019 when No.1 LSU visited No.2 Alabama and took down the Tide at home. Like that matchup, the road team had the better offense and special teams, but were underdogs and had more questions on the defensive side of the ball. The home team had a head coach who was coming off a national title appearance and had won it all before....

The typical battle between these two was more one-sided than the score would indicate. Ohio State was faced with adversity for 3 and 1/2 quarters against the Nittany Lions, before going on a 28-3 scoring drive after trailing 16-21. QB CJ Stroud had a near-perfect QBR of 93.6, going 26/33 for 354 yards and 1 touchdown. DE JT Tuimoloau was the ultimate star of this Ohio State squad, as he had 2 inte...

Michigan failed to cover the spread, but they still won by 22 points over their in-state rivals. Michigan State started off fast, taking a 7-3 lead at the end of the 1st quarter, but it wasn't enough to beat the more consistent Wolverine squad. RB Blake Corum had both of Michigan's touchdowns, along with 177 rushing yards. K Jake Moody went 5/5 on field goals, with a long of 54. This rivalry is tr...

One of the most underrated rivalries is taking place this Saturday. Michigan vs Michigan State is a series that has a lot of history, hatred, and physicality to it. Michigan enters this game as heavy favorites (over 3 touchdowns) but the Spartans have absolutely no problem playing the underdog here. At 3-4 (1-3), Michigan State hopes to partially salvage their season with a win over their in-state...

Penn State had a massive, bounceback win over Minnesota this past Saturday. The Nittany Lions, with a dominant passing attack that produced 304 yards and 4 touchdowns, won 45-17.   Leave a like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more fantastic content!   My Merchandise Store: https://cfbwithsam.threadless.com/  ESPN Penn State Vs Minnesota Game Summary: https://www.espn.c...

The once mighty proud aggies, home of the 12th man (or in the case of Jimbo Fisher, the 12th criminal), fell on the road Saturday to now No.25, 5-2 (2-2) South Carolina. Texas A&M fell to 3-4 (1-3) and Jimbo FIsher's job security has once again come into question. Several analysts predicted Texas A&M to be anywhere from New Year's Six Bowl contenders to CFP Playoff winners, and now, all of...

I thought the -30 point spread in favor of Ohio State was an overestimation of what the Buckeyes would do to the Hawkeyes. I was wrong, period, amen. It took 4 quarters to do it all, but hanging 54 points on a consensus Top 5 defense is impressive, especially when your starting QB shredded an opposing secondary and LB core that is the anchor of the defense. QB CJ Stroud went 10/20 for 286 yards, 4...

Michigan Football destroyed Penn State this past Saturday, and now it is up to them to control their own destiny. Outside of the Buckeyes, the Wolverines are on top of the College Football world with an elite offensive line and run game, and greatness at every position outside of that. This Michigan team is physically and mentally tough, fast, and intimidating. QB JJ McCarthy leads the nation in c...

Ohio State hosts Iowa after their midseason Bye Week. The goal for the Buckeyes is to dominate and advance throughout the rest of the year, with their toughest challenge being their last game against Michigan on November 26th. To not just prepare for Michigan's defense, but also Penn State's defense the following week, the Buckeyes will play against the vaunted Iowa back seven. Iowa has players li...

Illinois is ranked for the first time since the 2011 season and they earned bowl eligibility yesterday with a win over the Minnesota Golden Gophers. The now 4-2 PJ Fleck-led squad struggled on offense all game, and QB Tanner Morgan exited the game after suffering a head injury. Illinois put up 472 total yards on offense and nearly split that total on the ground and through the air, with QB Tommy D...

Mel Tucker got a big win tonight in East Lansing. No, it wasn't a top-25 win, but this win on homecoming for Michigan State gives the team some momentum heading into their Bye Week before the Michigan game. QB Payton Thorne had his best game of the season, going 21/29 for 265 passing yards and 2 touchdowns. His WRs Jayden Reed and Keon Coleman had great games as well. For comparison, Wisconsin QB...

The Michigan Wolverines had 416 rushing yards in their 24-point win over the Penn State Nittany Lions. The final score of the game was 41-17, and it didn't even feel that close when the clock hit zero. Michigan RBs Donovan Edwards and Blake Corum dominated, each having over 100 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns, and one 60+ yard touchdown run each. By comparison, Penn State RBs Nick Singleton and Kaytro...

Who would have thought that this matchup could possibly decide the Big Ten West Champion? I certainly did not. This is going to be a low-scoring, old-school style running the football type of game, a game that embodies Bret Bielema and Big Ten West Football. Minnesota has superior talent and according to power metrics is the better team, but the Illini have a history of performing well as underdog...

Ohio State looks like the No.1 team in the country right now. I will talk about why I think they are the best team in the country, and the evidence there to support that. Ohio State has the most efficient offense in the nation, along with a defense that is getting better every year. QB CJ Stroud is in the front of the Heisman race by a mile, and his WRs and RBs are elite as well. Compared to Georg...

A Top 10 matchup is brewing in Ann Arbor as the No.10 Penn State Nittany Lions come to town to take on the No.5 Michigan Wolverines. Both teams are undefeated and have wreaked havoc on every opponent they have faced, and now, it is time for the college football world to know who is better. Penn State is led by Sean Clifford at QB, but the main threat for the Nittany Lions are RBs Nick Singleton an...

This game was SLOPPY, in all caps. Michigan Football had 10 penalties for 85 yards, and they struggled for 3 quarters against an Indiana team that is among the bottom tier of College Football teams. After two quarters of mostly running the football, Michigan allowed JJ McCarthy to rip it downfield to TE Luke Schoonmaker, WR Ronnie Bell, and WR Cornelius Johnson. Wolverine QB McCarthy went 28/36 th...

Tonight kicks off a battle between two Big Ten bottom feeders. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights and the Nebraska Cornhuskers have a combined 5-5 record, and the winner of this game is one step closer to reaching bowl eligibility. QB Casey Thompson and RB Anthony Grant lead a Husker offense that can make big plays but is inconsistent at times. they will be tested by a Rutgers' defense that allows less t...

Ohio State travels to Michigan State to play their first road game of the season. What was thought of as a potential Top 10 matchup in the preseason now looks to be another cakewalk for the Buckeyes. Mel Tucker may have other plans, but he will have to bring hell in order to have a chance. With QB CJ Stroud, RB Miyan Williams, TE Cade Stover, and WRs Marvin Harrison Jr and Emeka Egbuka, this Ohio...

The Maryland Terrapins have not beaten the Michigan State Spartans since the 2016 season. In a defensive game, with goal-line stands and plenty of field goal attempts, Mike Locksley earned his program a big win this Saturday, while the Spartans hit a 3 game losing streak for the first time since the 2019 season. Maryland QB Taulia Tagovailoa played after being injured vs Michigan and he had a good...
