‘Tis the season, my friends. The eager anticipation is almost at a conclusion with opening night of the 2015 FBS football season almost upon us. The 2015 campaign opened with a bang last Saturday, as Montana scored a touchdown in the final seconds to upend four-time defending national champion North Dakota State. The Championship Subdivision […]
Outstanding Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds is on the precipice of setting several (more) college football records in 2015. That’s one reason I tabbed him a Heisman Trophy sleeper. Another is perfectly captured in Gene Wang’s profile of Keenan Reynolds for the Washington Post. Wang highlights the various records Reynolds has already set, as well as […]
So much for my bright idea of the winner of November’s Coastal Carolina-Liberty game earning a spot in the Sun Belt. While that remains a biggie for FCS purposes, likely serving as the de facto Big South Conference championship game, Coastal Carolina is bound for the Sun Belt regardless. Coastal Carolina will join Sun Belt […]
Boise State boasts the right combination of high-impact pass-rushers, run-pursuing ball-hawks and lock-down coverage men that the Broncos can claim college football’s best defense. And college football’s best defense has a pretty solid outlook for a perfect regular season, assuming it can carry Boise State to wins over Washington and BYU in Weeks 1 and […]
Aug. 26 is officially National Dog Day, but it’s national dog day year-round across the United States — including on college football Saturdays. Ten Div. I football programs are nicknamed the Bulldogs, and this doesn’t include teams like James Madison (Dukes) or Georgetown (Hoyas), which adopted Bulldogs as their mascots. Another four Div. I programs […]
With details of Sam Ukwuachu’s transfer from Boise State to Baylor still surfacing, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby tells Ralph D. Russo of the Associated Press conference brass favors restrictive transfer regulations for candidates with histories of violence.

Earlier this month, I published the preseason edition of CFB Huddle’s weekly Heisman Top 10. This ranking is a projection of the Heisman voting landscape based on prominence and media buzz. For me personally, there are a number of players whose credentials warrant more discussion for college football’s most prestigious, individual honor. Likewise, there are […]
Art Briles and Chris Petersen exchanged versions of events leading to defensive end Sam Ukwuachu’s transfer from Boise State to Baylor. On the same day Ukwuachu was sentenced to six months in jail and 10 years of probation for the rape of a former Baylor women’s soccer player, a retelling of Art Briles and Chris […]
Texas Monthly published a powder-keg investigative piece Thursday that chronicles the “silence at Baylor” regarding defensive end Sam Ukwuachu. If you’ve yet to read this long exhaustively reported piece, do so — even if, at times, you makes you cringe. Especially if it makes you cringe. Ukwuachu, the former Freshman All-American at Boise State, transferred […]
USC transfer quarterback Ricky Town is not waiting long to scout potential destinations, per syndicated radio host Bo Mattingly. Recruiting Update: Multiple sources say USC QB transfer Ricky Town is on Arkansas campus for a visit and will be at practice tonight. — Bo Mattingly (@SportsTalkwBo) August 19, 2015 Should Town become a Razorback in […]
Freshman quarterback Ricky Town is transferring from USC, an abrupt yet not necessarily surprising decision. Heisman contending redshirt senior Cody Kessler is obviously entrenched as the starter, with redshirt sophomore Max Browne positioning himself to take over in 2016. Though Ricky Town had the advantage of joining the Trojans in the spring, fellow 2015 signee […]
The College Football Playoff introduced a new competition-within-the-competition last season, with the best of the Group of 5 jockeying for the automatic berth into one of the New Year’s bowl games. The inaugural Group of 5 race went right down to the wire, and the 2015 installment promises more potential for fireworks. Click the page […]
Six months. That’s the duration between former Eastern Washington quarterback Vernon Adams announcing his intention to transfer to Oregon, and his clearing the final hurdle to actually do so. After an arduous process that precluded him from using Eastern Washington facilities in the spring, or working out with Oregon players in the summer, Vernon Adams […]
