The Utah Utes’ offensive coordinator, Andy Ludwig, has stepped down, according to coach Kyle Wittingham. Coach Wittingham also named quarterbacks coach Mike Bajakian as the interim coordinator. Utah’s season started off with a lot of excitement but it quickly fizzled out with an offense that, without Cam Rising, can’t seem to figure out which way the ball is supposed to go. The Utes currently sit at 10th in the Big 12 and are on a three-game losing streak. While the defense has pulled their weight and ranked 20th in the nation in total defense, the offense is in the middle…

A pivotal Mountain West matchup between the #17  Boise State Broncos and the UNLV Rebels has the nation on watch. This matchup, between two single loss teams (both non-conference losses), is not only a rematch of the Mountain West Conference championship from last season but also a potential preview of this year’s Conference championship. These two teams represent some of the best that the Group of 5 has to offer, and what makes this matchup even more nerve-wracking for BSU and UNLV fans (and exciting for everyone else) is just how evenly matched these teams are. Both are atop the…

Jayden Daniels injury sustained against the Carolina Panthers last week might lead to missed time for the Washington Commanders’ star rookie quarterback. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn has ruled Daniels as week-to-week but if the rib injury takes significant time to recover, Jayden Daniels’ journey to postseason play and awards may veer off course. Sitting at 5-2 and first in the NFC East, the Washington Commanders are off to the best start they’ve had in years, in large part to #5’s success. Daniels has thrown for over 1,400 yards and is second in rushing for the Commanders, trailing Brian Robinson…

The BYU Cougars needed every second of regulation to pull out the win against Big 12 opponent Oklahoma State. In a game that was back-and-forth throughout, with each team throwing and taking punches. There was plenty of strong defense and big playmaking offense to satisfy football fans everywhere. With over 62,000 fans in attendance at Lavell Edwards Stadium, the stadium was rocking from start to finish. This is a game that will surely help Coach Kalani Sitake’s Coach of the Year bid. These are the kinds of games we expect from college football. These are the kinds of games we…

BYU Cougars coach, Kalani Sitake, has been named as one of 27 college football coaches in contention for the Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year Award. Despite being picked to finish near the bottom of the Big 12 in preseason polls, BYU has jumped out to an impressive start in which they’ve yet to see an opponent outscore them. That’s right, even amongst the stiff competition of the Big 12, BYU has not lost a game. They’re sitting at 7-0 with a close win against Oklahoma State last night. Sitake has been coaching at BYU for 9 seasons, leading…

Boise State Broncos head coach, Spencer Danielson, has just been added to the Bear Bryant Coach of the Year watchlist.

Boise State is sitting at 5-1 (2-0 in the Mountain West) and their currently ranked at 15 in the AP poll and 19 in the Coaches poll. Spencer Danielson is just 35 but has seemingly revitalized Boise State Football after a rough year last year that ended in the firing of…

How likely is it that the Boise State Broncos get their first Heisman winner in Ashton Jeanty? Well, let’s take a look. Outside of quarterback, no position has been more popular or important to college football than the running back. At least, according to the Heisman Trust. That’s right, the Heisman Trophy has been given to running backs more than any other non-quarterback position. That’s a good start. Since the year 1980, 13 Heisman Trophy winners have been running backs. Among the winners are some stars and Hall of Famers such as Herschel Walker (1982), Bo Jackson (1985), Barry Sanders…
