College Football with Sam

Michigan and Maryland were locked in a battle this past Saturday. Michigan came into the game as a 17-point favorite and only ended up winning by 7 in the 34-27 game. Taulia Tagovailoa, Roman Hemby, and Rakim Jarret did everything they could to score on Michigan's defense, but Michigan RB Blake Corum continuously kept Michigan in front. Both teams look like good teams, and both should come away wi...

PJ Fleck and the Minnesota Golden Gophers walked into East Lansing with determination and a plan, a plan they executed beautifully. Minnesota beat Michigan State 34-7 in a game where the Spartan defense was on the field for 42 1/2 minutes of the game. The Gophers with QB Tanner Morgan and RB Mohamed Ibrahim looks like a Top 10 team, while Tel Tucker's Michigan State is a mess that needs cleaning....

Oklahoma destroyed Nebraska this past Saturday. What began as an impressive first drive for Nebraska resulted in a blowout win for the Sooners. 49-14 was the game's final score, and at one point it was 49-7. Nebraska looked broken on both sides of the ball, and Oklahoma looked like a CFP contender.   Leave a like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more fantastic content!   ESP...

The biggest competition this past Saturday was not even the two teams facing on the field. Rather, it was Michigan's QB battle between JJ McCarthy and Cade McNamara, and that battle wasn't close either. McCarthy cemented his position as QB1 for the rest of the season and Michigan's entire team looked efficient, while Hawaii looked like the worst team in College Football. Michigan passed for 320 ya...

Nebraska 42 Georgia Southern *dies of laughter* 45. The Eagles ran the ball down Nebraska's throats and exploit the Huskers in the air game as well. They totaled 642 total yards of offense on the blackshirts, while the Huskers produced an offensive frenzy of their own with 575 yards of offense. This game can be described in many words, but I'm going to keep it to just a few. Disgusting, disappoint...

The Buckeyes beat the Red Wolves 45-12 today. Ohio State had moments where they looked slow on both offense and defense, but at the end of the day, they were the far superior unit on the field. CJ Stroud excelled, as he threw for over 300 yards and had 4 passing touchdowns. WRs Marvin Harrison Jr and Emeka Egbuka had the majority of the receptions, and Xavier Johnson and TE Cade Stover also had so...

Ohio State defeated Notre Dame last Saturday by a score of 21-10. This week, Ryan Day and company return home to face the Arkansas State Red Wolves. Ohio State is once again a heavy favorite, as they are favored by more than six touchdowns according to ESPN. Look out for RBs TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams to tear it up on the ground, along with CJ Stroud to put on the usual theater show in...

After last week's 51-7 win against Colorado State, the Michigan Wolverines are now taking on the challenge (not so much) of the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. Michigan is a whopping 51-point favorite against the Rainbow Warriors (yes, a -51 point spread). This game should be a testing ground for the Michigan coaching staff. JJ McCarthy, not Cade McNamara, will be starting in this game. McCarthy went 4/4...

Ohio State beat Notre Dame in a defensive battle last night, winning by a score of 21 to 10. Both teams struggled on offense, and surprisingly, looked lights out on defense. Notre Dame found ways to limit Ohio State QB CJ Stroud, holding him to 223 passing yards and 2 touchdowns (Stroud had been passing for 300-400 yards per game at the end of 2021). At the end of the day, Ohio State's powerful ru...

Nebraska 38 North Dakota 17. What an absolutely toxic game. Nebraska was tied with FCS North Dakota at the half and looked dead both on offense and defense. The Huskers were able to pull away late by pounding the ball away, giving Nebraska their first win since October 2, 2021. QB Casey Thompson was limited by his OL, going 14-21 for 193 yards, 2 touchdowns, throwing 1 interception, and giving up...

Michigan crushed the Colorado State Rams by a score of 51-7. The Wolverines had explosive plays on both sides of the ball and controlled the game from start to finish. QB Cade McNamara went 9-18 for 136 yards and 1 touchdown. QBs JJ McCarthy and Alan Bowman also got playing time, with McCarthy having 50 rushing yards on the ground and 1 touchdown on a 20-yard run. RBs Blake Corum and Donovan Edwar...

Around an hour ago, news surfaced that the CFP board of managers had voted on expanding the CFP to 12 teams. This format includes bye weeks for the highest ranked 4 teams, along with auto bids for conference champions (and other details). What this means for the Big Ten and what this means for College Football as a whole are related, yet also different. This is great news for the Big Ten individua...

THE Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish this Saturday at 7:30 PM ET. Irish Head Coach Marcus Freeman will take on his former team this Saturday in an attempt to give Notre Dame its first win over Ohio State in several decades. Ohio State is a heavy favorite over the 5th-ranked Irish, as most betting sites have Ohio State winning by around two touchdowns or more. With QB CJ St...

As a student of the University of Michigan, I cannot wait for my Wolverines to take the field against Colorado State this Saturday. To no one's surprise, Michigan is a massive favorite against the Colorado State Rams (30.5-point favorites to be exact) and the Wolverines should blow the rams off the field. The interesting part about this game will not be the matchup between the two teams, but the s...

I was wrong. Scott Frost has done it again, in typical Scott Frost fashion. The Huskers led by 11 points twice and blew both leads. Big Red had a strong passing attack led by QB Casey Thompson, who went 25/42 and had 355 Passing Yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs. WRs Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda, Trey Palmer, Marcus Washington, and Alante Brown all played well, along with starting TE Travis Vokolek, Garcia-Casta...

There are only 8 more days until Ohio State Football takes the field in Columbus to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. This game has high stakes (even though it is early) as both are ranked in the Top 5 of the polls. Ohio State is currently favored by -15.5 points and is given more than an 80% chance to win according to ESPN's FPI. It is safe to say Notre Dame is a heavy underdog, but that doe...

Nebraska vs Northwestern kicks off in just 4 days! The game will be televised on FOX at 12:30 PM ET in Dublin Ireland. Nebraska beat Northwestern last year by a score of 56-7, so you best believe Pat Fitzgerald and the Wildcats will want revenge. The Cornhuskers are heavily favored heading into this matchup (-13), but only the game itself will determine who wins in Ireland. Nebraska's roster and c...

Mel Tucker said his team wouldn't flinch, and they didn't all last year. The Spartans were picked to finish 7th in the East, finished 11-2, 3rd in the East, and won the Peach Bowl. RB Kenneth Walker, WR Jalen Nailor, and DEs Jacub Panasuik and Drew Beesley depart, but the majority of last year's production returns this season. QB Payton Thorne, WR Jayden Reed, and the Spartan Front Seven should be...

RJ Young's Top 25 is already controversial, but leaving Michigan out of his Top 25 made it even more so. Michigan Football did the unthinkable last year, going 12-2, beating Ohio State, winning the Big Ten, and reaching the College Football Playoff.   Make sure to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more fantastic content!   My Way Too Early Top 25 Video: https://youtu.be/...

The 2022 preseason edition of the Coaches Poll was released this past Wednesday. Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, and even TEXAS all had first-place votes. The AP Poll releases tomorrow, and one voter, Brett McMurphy, decided to release his ballot a few days early. McMurphy's ballot comes with surprises and some sneaky good picks. He places Air Force and Nebraska inside his Top 25, but places Miami a...

Ohio State went 11-2 last year with a Rose Bowl victory. Most Big Ten teams would view that as a successful season, but not Ohio State. The Buckeyes expect to win the Big Ten every season, and last year they didn't win the conference for the first time since 2016. Today we will be discussing the possible outcomes for the Buckeyes this season. Ohio State returns a three-headed monster on offense in...

Scott Frost is 15-29 in his time at Nebraska so far. There has been so much potential in every one of the teams he has coached, but none of those teams were able to finish when it mattered most. This year, I think it will be different. I think Nebraska will not only learn to finish close games, but they will thrive with their schedule and win the Big Ten West. I think QB Casey Thompson will conten...

There are ONLY 21 days left until College Football begins. I am excited to watch Week 0 and cover the Nebraska vs Northwestern game (and more) with you all. With that being said, it is still 28 more days until Michigan Football starts up. The Wolverines won the Big Ten for the first time since 2004 and beat Ohio State for the first time since 2011. With plenty of the 2021 team departing to the NFL...

Fall camp began for the Spartans this morning, and I wanted to discuss some questions surrounding the program that should be answered in fall practice. I also wanted to touch on Spartan recruiting, which is still having tremendous success, having 10 four-star recruits in their 2023 recruiting class. Michigan State recently added four-star OT Stanton Ramil out of Alabama on August 1st, boosting MSU...

The Big Ten has played for a combined 9 national titles since the BCS system was introduced in 1998. Two of them were won by the conference, and both of them by one team. The Ohio State Buckeyes. Ohio State has been the only Big Ten team to competitively play for a National Title this century, and it doesn't look like that will change in 2022. With the offensive firepower and defensive veterancy t...
