College Football with Sam

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has named incoming graduate transfer Will Howard the Buckeyes's starting quarterback entering the 2024 season. I believe that through the 2024 preseason, Will Howard has shown that he gives Ohio State football their best chance to win big, also known as beating Michigan, winning the Big Ten, and winning the College Football Playoff National Championship. Howard&#...

The 2024 College Football season is just around the corner, and I want to zoom in on Big Ten Football to preview the 2024 Michigan Wolverines Football team and give my predictions for and analysis of Sherrone Moore's team. Michigan is coming off a National Championship-winning season with a 15-0 record. Many rightfully expect Michigan to take a step back in 2024 and potentially miss the Colleg...

Fall camp has begun and College Football is just around the corner. The preseason is about to end, the 2024 season is about to be in full swing, and with the new 12-team College Football Playoff, the college football world is about to be incredibly hectic. I want to set the full tone for how I believe the 2024 season will play out by discussing my definitive 2024 preseason Top 25 College Football...

The 2024 College Football season is just around the corner, and I want to zoom in on Big Ten Football to preview the 2024 Ohio State Buckeyes Football team and give my predictions for and analysis of Ryan Day's team. Ohio State is the preseason favorite to win the Big Ten Championship because they brought back 15 starters and added talented transfers in running back Quinshon Judkins, quarterba...

My final round of Big Ten predictions for College Football's 2024 season took months of research, and the funny thing is I am still quite unsure about some teams. In this ultimate, in-depth preview, I will discuss the final records, strengths, weaknesses, and placement of each Big Ten team, all 18! The Northwestern Wildcats, UCLA Bruins, Maryland Terrapins, Purdue Boilermakers, Washington Husk...

Touchdown Talk Ep 10 with College Football with Sam discusses Notre Dame Football, Conference Realignment, and the defenses of the sport. We bring on special guest Joe DeLeone to talk about Georgia, Notre Dame, and conference realignment. I believe that 2024 will be a down year for CFB, so there will be plenty of opportunities for teams to emerge with dominant offenses and defenses this season. I...

The Hammer will not drop on Michigan Football, and here is why. Yesterday, ESPN's Dan Murphy and Pete Thamel discussed the NCAA's notice of allegations draft against Michigan Football (Link: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40724577/michigan-football-coach-sherrone-moore-violated-ncaa-rules-noa-draft-says ). I am no legal expert here, but given that most of Michigan's 2...

Typically we watch offenses grill defenses in college football, but that is rarely the case in Kinnick Stadium, where the Phil Parker-led Iowa defense is among the best in college football, and the Hawkeyes repeatedly torch offenses. An iron curtain is the best analogy to use when describing this legion, as your only way to defeat it is by going through it with unstoppable force because it is near...

College Football is less than a month away and with every single season, there is a team that comes out of left field and shocks us all. In 2021 and 2022 Michigan and TCU started the season off unranked and reached the 4-team College Football Playoff to close the year. TCU Football went further, and won a playoff game, beating Michigan 51-45 in the Fiesta Bowl. Today, I give you Georgia Tech of th...

Touchdown Talk Ep 9 with College Football with Sam discusses Day 1 and Day 2 of Big Ten Media Days and why Michigan's roster is loaded this year. I bring on a special guest James Kapp to provide critical insight into Michigan Football's roster, and the rosters and units of the three other reason Top 4 Big Ten schools, Ohio State, Penn State, and Oregon. The Big Ten has plenty of teams who...

Ohio State Football brought in Quarterbacks Will Howard and Julian Sayin from the transfer portal in January. With several months of preseason training and fall camp approaching, I want to explore Ohio State's competitive quarterback room and why Will Howard may not be the obvious starting quarterback candidate. Will Howard has a big frame, underrated scrambling ability, experience, and a cann...

Will Minnesota Football rise up in 2024? Last year was a disappointing season with obvious warning signs before the kickoff against Nebraska, and huge red flags by October. The Golden Gophers brought many key players back, including young running back Darius Taylor and offensive tackle Aireontae Ersery, and added quarterback Max Brosmer from the transfer portal. The offensive line should be strong...

I have heard several Nebraska Cornhuskers Football fans talk about how they are concerned about how the team is recruiting for the 2025 cycle. While Nebraska's recruiting needs to improve, I want to discuss in this video why Nebraska Football must focus on development and winning before focusing on recruiting. Matt Rhule was hired as Nebraska's head coach to win games and compete for the B...

Ohio State will beat Michigan and win the Big Ten in 2024 because this Ohio State team has an elite roster with an elite staff and they host Michigan. It really is that simple, and no one can deny that the superior roster typically beats the inferior roster, especially at home. Once again, Big Ten Football's best two teams will be the Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio State Buckeyes, who both w...

Michigan Football's 2025 recruit class is on fire! The Michigan Wolverines, after making the college football playoff and winning the national championship, were outside of the Top 50 in 2025 recruiting rankings only a few months ago. Now Sherrone Moore and Michigan have climbed to the 11th-best recruiting class and have 15 commits. 13 of these commits are blue-chip players, including recent c...

Is Oregon Football set to dominate the Big Ten entering 2024? While I don't think so, Dan Lanning has built a strong program and they have the potential to win the Big Ten conference this year, if not the National Championship too. They can potentially dominate the Big Ten, but will they? The Oregon Ducks have some questions on the defensive side of the football, and even if those are answered...

Can Iowa Football Reach The 12-team College Football Playoff? Yes, and I think Iowa making the college football playoff in 2024 is very realistic. Why? Because their schedule is one of the easiest in the Big Ten as the Hawkeyes avoid the Michigan Wolverines, Oregon Ducks, and Penn State Nittany Lions, and they are Top 10 in returning production, bringing back an offensive line that is ready to imp...

Michigan Football is being criminally underrated entering the 2024 college football season. They are being underestimated because they lost 60% of their 2023 production and Jim Harbaugh and most of Michigan's 2023 staff are off to the NFL. Sherrone Moore takes over as the Michigan Wolverines' head coach and has plenty of work cut out for him. However, the elite developmental and strength-f...

In 10 seasons with Penn State Football, James Franklin has never made the College Football Playoff and only won a single Big Ten Championship. While I do not think the Penn State Nittany Lions will win the Big Ten this year, their odds are the best in a while and I think they will make the 12-Team College Football Playoff. In today's video, I will discuss 10 reasons why Penn State Football wil...

Ohio State Football's 2025 recruiting class currently sits at No.1 in the country with 21 total commits, 17 of them being 4 or 5-star players. Quarterback Tavien St Clair highlights the class, with 75 touchdowns and 18 interceptions thrown in his career and a 5-star ranking entering his senior year of high school. Cornerbacks Na'eem Offord and Devin Sanchez also contribute heavily to this...

Which College Football teams can win a National Title in 2024? While the answer is not an exact science, Bud Elliot from CBS Sports has created a rule, called the Blue-Chip Ratio, that rules out several possible teams. The Blue-Chip Ratio states that to win it all, a college football team must have 50% or more of their roster composed of 4 and 5-star players. This means that over 100 teams, even O...

Who will win the Big Ten? Which team will prove to be the toughest in the toughest conference in college football? We will answer these and many others in my updated 2024 Big Ten Football Predictions. This conference will be deeper than last year, but there is a clear hierarchy made up of Ohio State Football, Michigan Football, Penn State Football, and Oregon Football. You may walk away with some...

Legendary Ohio State Buckeye coaches Urban Meyer and Jim Tressel have voiced their opinion that this Ohio State Football team has the most talented Buckeye roster ever. With Ryan Day upgrading his staff by hiring Chip Kelly to be his offensive coordinator, bringing back multiple NFL players in running back TreVeyon Henderson, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, defensive ends Jack Sawyer and JT Tuimoloau,...

Dylan Raiola's commitment is the biggest development of the Matt Rhule era of Nebraska Football to date, as he has the potential to impact Nebraska's future seasons positively. Nebraska's offense was atrocious last season, but with a veteran offensive line, proven wide receivers and tight ends, and a diverse running back group, it feels like all Nebraska needs to explode on offense thi...

Maryland Football has struggled to win big games and be a consistent team under head coach Mike Locksley. He has done an admirable job at Maryland, especially with the Michigan Wolverines, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Penn State Nittany Lions residing in the same division. Still, Maryland should have won a few more games over the past three seasons. However, even with the Maryland Terrapins losing mul...
