Saturday vs Sunday

The Texans jumped out to a 14-0 lead before most fans had a chance to settle in to their seats to watch the game.  The Chargers uncharacteristically gave up two long TD passes early in the game, which proved to be too much to overcome.  After going down 14-0 the Chargers outscored the Texans 16-6. A Missed field goal and extra point turned out to be the difference in a tie game going to over time,...

BYU completes the comeback scoring 15 points in the 4th quarter to beat Georgia Tech 25-21 in the Pop Tarts bowl finishing with a 12-2 record. The Cougars were without their leading rusher TJ Martin and star linebacker Jack Kelly. Bachmeier was also hobbled and had to do all of his damage through the air going 27/38 325yards and a TD.  Running back was by committee with Jovesa Damuni and Enoch Naw...

Alabama went into Norman Oklahoma and took down the Sooners in a complete reverse of the previous game these two teams played.  This time around it was Mateer who threw the pick six, and Oklahoma make critical errors in the kicking game missing field goals and getting a punt blocked. The Crimson tide overcame a 17-0 deficit with the momentum turning when freshman sensation wide reciever Lotzeir Br...

Miami went into a hostile environment and beat Texas A&M in a windy game where points were at a premium. Missed Field Goals, errant passes and dominating defensive line play was the story of the game.  Mark Fletcher Jr. was the star of the game for Miami leading all rushers with 172 yards, and carried the ball 5 times for 75 yards on the only TD drive of the late in the 4th quarter. Texas A&am...

Oregon and Ole Miss dominate JMU and Tulane adding to the case for reworking the playoff selection process.  Notre Dame, Vandy, BYU, Texas and Virginia are some of the teams and fan bases that have to be sick to their stomachs watching uncompetitive playoffs games from home instead of being in those games. These results are likely to push us towards a two tiered playoff system in the near future t...

Chargers win another gritty game with a punishing defense, doing just enough on offense.  In a must have it game, the Chiefs didn't have it on offense at all. In a continuing theme for 2025 the Chiefs couldn't run the ball and couldn't hit any explosive plays in the passing game. Mahomes scrambled for their only TD.  The Chiefs defense still played really well holding the Chargers to 16 points, bu...

Week 15 of the 2025 season will be a memorable weekend in NFL history for the wrong reasons.  Patrick Mahomes suffered a season ending ACL injury in the final minutes of a losing effort that knocked them out of the playoffs for the first time in his career as a starting QB. Micah Parsons tore his ACL after becoming the highest paid non QB in NFL history.  Davante Adams entered the week with the mo...

The College Football Playoff is an invitational. Even the week to week rankings are arbitrary and decided by a group of people who will not share their reasons.  The selection committee always leaves someone out who many people think should have been in. And likewise they put someone in that many people think should be left out.  Until the committee is eliminated entirely and there is a defined 'p...

Indiana's defense leads the way to a Big10 title and 13-0 record. This was every bit of a heavyweight fight between what looks like the two best teams in the country.  Both defenses were dominant and deserving of high praise. Fernando Mendoza made the plays that mattered in the 4th quarter to secure the win.  These teams go into the playoffs with first round bye's and look like they're headed on a...

Texas Tech was the better team in all phases of the game and left no doubt they're one of the best teams in the country. They dominated BYU and earned a first round bye in the playoffs. The Red Raiders Defense lead they way as it has all year. Bear Bachmeier got injured in the first half of the game and it was clearly limiting the BYU offense. Texas Tech looks like a complete team and will be a ha...

Georgia dominated Bama in the SEC championship game leading wire to wire and leaving no doubt they're one of the best teams in the country.  Bama is limping their way into the playoffs with one of their worst performances of the year.  Georgia is firing on all cylinders with an efficient offense and what is now looking like a championship caliber defense. Nobody wants to play Georgia in the CFP.

Oregon beat Washington on the road to finish 11-1 for the regular season. Washington is a tough out at home as this is only their second home loss in the past 27 games.  The Ducks have been showcasing their depth as they have been dealing with multiple injuries throughout the latter half of the season.  Missing out on the BIG10 championship game might just be a blessing in disguise, as it gives th...

Texas Tech and BYU finish 11-1 and head to the Big12 championship game for a rematch. Texas Tech smoked WVU 49-0 in a game that was no contest right out of the gates. The Red Raiders are heading into the conference championship game firing on all cylinders and look every bit like a national championship contender. BYU took about 15 mins to find their footing against UFC falling behind 14-0. After...

Georgia wins an ugly rock fight of a game against Georgia Tech. This is truly the embodiment of a rivalry game where we can 'throw away the regular season records'.  The Bulldogs defense lead the way shutting down the Yellowjackets run game holding them to 69 yards rushing while UGA's offense put up 190 yards on the ground. Georgia only put up 70 yards passing on 11/17 from Gunner Stockton. This i...

Ole Miss plays a dominant game to finish off their first 11-1 season and virtually guaranteeing a spot in the playoffs. Trinidad Chambliss was outstanding throwing for 359 and 4TDs, and Kewan Lacy added 143+ yards on the ground and a TD.  Ole Miss looks like one of the best teams in the country and fully capable of winning a national championship. The question will be if Lane Kiffin will still be...

Indiana completed the 12-0 regular season in a frigid game at Purdue. The Hoosiers run game put up 355 yards and the defense held the Boilermakers to just 3 points.  The Hoosiers are waiting to see who they will be facing in the BIG10 title game which they are absolutely capable of winning.  Star players Elijah Sarratt (WR) and Mikail Kamara (DL) returned. Indiana is getting healthy at the right t...

Texas finally found a run game. The Longhorns rushed for 170 yards in the second half of the game pulling away from the Aggies. Once Texas took the lead, they did not relinquish it. Each time the Aggies scored to close the gap, the Longhorns responded and stayed in front.  With 5 mins left in the game the Aggies had a chance to come back, but Marcel Reed was picked off on back to back possession....

Joe Burrow once again has come back from injury and lead the Cincinnati to a critical win over division rival Baltimore, keeping their ever so slim playoff hopes alive. The Bengals maligned defense was the story of the game combined with the Ravens lack of ball security. The Raven repeatedly turned the ball over in either the plus or minus red zones killing drives, and handing the Bengals the ball...

NFL Week 12 is almost in the books and the true contenders for a playoff spot are starting to emerge.  The New England Patriots have the best record in the NFL at 10-2 and could easily be 12-0. Will Campbell their star rookie left tackle suffered a knee injury, as of the time of this post we still do not know the severity. The Los Angles Rams look like the best team in the NFC. Matthew Stafford lo...

Shedeur Sanders gets his first start and his first win. There was some good and some bad, namely a 52 yard completion to Isaiah Bond on the run, and then a bad interception to a defense end. Just about what you would expect from a rookie starting QB.  Sanders popularity and controversial nature overshadowed a dominant defense performance from the Browns who got 10 sacks, lead by Myles Garrett with...

Oregon put up 42 points despite missing multiple wide receivers and offensive linemen. The Ducks are a true testament to team depth and next man up philosophy. The Trojans were also coming into the game missing multiple offensive pieces included the top two running backs, multiple offensive lineman as well as both starting safeties. At this point of the season everyone is dealing with injuries and...

LJ Martin runs for 222 yards and 2TDs, and adds another 44 yards receiving for a massive 266 yard performance. He simply could not be stopped in a must win game against Cincinnati.  The Cougars defense held the Bearcats in check most of the game while the offense held the ball for almost 39 mins. The score was closer than the box score would suggest. Cincinnati missed 3 field goals and had critica...

Indiana is one game away from an undefeated season. With the win over Wisconsin they are now 11-0 and likely secured a playoff birth.  The Hoosiers seem to be on a collision course with Ohio State in the BIG10 championship game if the Buckeyes can get past the Wolverines.  The Hoosiers are a complete team with the Heisman front runner at QB, dynamic playmakers at running back and wide receiver, an...

The defense lead the way in a must win game for the Sooners. Oklahoma forced three turnovers including an 87 yard pick six by Eli Bowens. The Sooners defense is carrying the team, and might just be good enough to carry them right into the playoffs if they can win out.  Alabama suffers its first SEC loss in a game where they outplayed Oklahoma but lost the turnover battle 0-3. The Crimson Tide can...

Georgia hands Texas its third loss of the season effectively eliminating them from both the SEC title game and the college football playoffs.  With 5 mins to play in the 3rd quarter the Longhorns scored their first and only TD of the game bringing them within 4 points of the Bulldogs. It certainly felt like Texas had the momentum and were mounting their comeback.  Georgia had other ideas and immed...
