Sideline Exposure: College Football Fanatic

Jim Knowles leaving Ohio State for the same DC position at Penn State is the most surprising move so far this offseason. Here are four possible reasons why he would leave after just winning a National Championship with Ohio State: - Money, he's become the highest paid DC in College Football - Returning Home, he was born in Philadelphia  - New Opportunity, winning the natty might have been a n...

Did Ohio State just have the best 4 game run in College Football history? It sure seems like it. Two blowouts, a hard fought win vs Texas and a National Championship later, the Buckeyes find themselves back at the top of the CFB mountain. Ryan Day deserved all the criticism when they lost to Michigan less than two months ago....but now deserves all the credit and praise for turning this season aro...

It all comes down to this! This is a National Championship game preview episode from the perspective of an Ohio State fan.  Notre Dame wants to run the football and has the best man coverage defense in the country! Ohio State has the most talented roster in the sport, and might have the best overall defense in college football.  Two classic northern teams playing for the third time in three years....

The Buckeyes find themselves back in the National Championship game after closing out the 4 quarter against Texas. Despite a bad performance by the offensive line, a poorly timed Will Howard interception and minimal production from Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State leaned on their other stars to carry them to victory.

The Fighting Irish move on to the National Championship Game after defeating Penn State 27-24. Marcus Freeman deserves A TON of credit here. He got his guys right after halftime and what we saw was 24 second half points (17 in the 4th quarter), a turnover and the game winning kick! As for Penn State....this is the most "James Franklin" loss ever. Beating SMU, beating Boise State, then lo...

Notre Dame has the slight edge here I think they'll find some success running the football, but more importantly have a defense that is flying around the football.  Penn State will rely on their talented RB duo, but will also heavily target their star TE Tyler Warren. Imagine Xavier Watts and that ND defense covering him. That's one of the biggest matchups in this game.  Marcus Freeman h...

This game is all about matchups, and the matchups favor the Buckeyes. Sure, Texas has a great secondary and front four, but Ohio State has the best receivers in the country and OSU's offensive line have gone up against many other talented fronts before (Michigan, Penn State, Tennessee, Oregon x2). Also, Jeremiah Smith is unstoppable.  On the other side of the ball, Ohio State's defense i...

Ohio State is back to being the hottest team in College Football after a dominant Rose Bowl win over Oregon. The Buckeyes went up 34-0 in the 2nd quarter and never looked back. They will now travel to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas to play Texas in the semifinals and if this OSU team continues to play like this....then no one can beat them.  #cfb #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football #collegefootbal...

After giving us a thriller in Eugene earlier this the year, Ohio State and Oregon go at it again in the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff. Two of the most talented teams in the country (maybe the two best teams in the country) will play in the Rose Bowl. This feels like a National Championship! Here I give my thoughts on the game from an Ohio State fan perspective. What I feel good abo...

Texas holds off a Clemson comeback and moves on to face Arizona State in the quarterfinals.  ASU might've finished the regular season as the hottest team in College Football, but will that carry over to the post season after multiple weeks off?  #cfb #football #collegefootball #ncaafootball  Follow us on social media: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Cfb_f TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cfb...

Penn State took care of business against SMU and moves on to Boise State in the quarterfinals.  James Franklin notched his 100th win at Penn State and also his first CFP win. Penn State has their offense rolling and has a good run defense which will present quite the challenge for Boise State star RB Ashton Jeanty.  #cfb #football #collegefootball #ncaafootball  Follow us on social media: YouTube:...

I'm so glad I was wrong about this game, Ryan Day and the coaching staff had his players ready to play.  This was a perfect start and damn near perfect second half. This was also the best game of the season for the Buckeyes, showing everyone how dangerous they can be if they continue to play at their full potential.  #football #collegefootball #ncaafootball #cfb Follow us on social media: You...

This game went about as expected.... Thoughts: - Norte Dame's defense is filled with NFL guys and looks really good - ND's offense is running the ball well - also Leonard's deep ball??!? - Indiana had a great year, they reached their ceiling!  - ND moves on to play Georgia in the Sugar Bowl....do I like ND here? #football #collegefootball #cfb #ncaafootball #collegefootball25    Fol...

This is not even a breakdown but really just some chatter and thoughts about the Ohio State vs Tennessee game....from an Ohio State fans perspective. Concerns for Ohio State - offensive line, game prep, special teams, coaching staff, corners +  more On the other side - can Nico win them the game if they need him to? Does Tennessee have the fire power to score on Ohio State's defense? #footbal...

Ryan Day and his staff let down the Ohio State Buckeyes in the loss to Michigan. In what might be the most embarrassing loss for Ohio State in the history of this rivalry - the defense did enough but the offense failed.  Throw in two Will Howard interceptions and two missed field goals, Michigan was able to take advantage and have now won four straight in this series.  There's only one thing...

With only one regular season week left in the 2024 regular season, Week 13 further clarified the picture of contenders and pretenders.  The SEC is crumbling - Alabama, Ole Miss and Texas A&M all lost. They each have three losses and seasons are on life support. Georgia beat UMASS even though it wasn't pretty, but are the Bulldogs the best two loss team in the country?  The Big 10 is showc...

Georgia bounces back and beats Tennessee, Penn State and Notre Dame roll, and Oregon sneaks out of Camp Randall with a win!  Ohio State takes care of business against Northwestern and Indiana had a bye before these two teams play this upcoming weekend in Columbus.

Indiana cracks the Top 5 after reaching 10-0 for the FIRST TIME in school history! BYU somehow finds a way to remain undefeated.

Alabama and Ole Miss both notched huge wins over the weekend and are trending upward. Notre Dame has fought their...
