Penn State fans are some of the most loyal in the country, but even they have to recognize that their offense is in need of some drastic changes. Last season, the Nittany Lions did not even crack the top 50 in total yards according to the ESPN end of the year rankings. Penn State did score an impressive amount of points, acquiring a grand total of 471 over their 12 game regular season with an average of slightly over 36 per contest, but those stats can be deceiving. Of their 12 regular season games, the Nittany Lions only played two…
It has been quite some time since the Nebraska football program has made any noise, but with some very positive offseason acquisitions many are wondering if this could be the season the Cornhuskers return to prominence. The glory years of the 1990s when Head Coach Tom Osborne roamed the sidelines and national championships were commonplace, seems like a distant memory for many of the Cornhusker faithful. Though there have been flashes of progress, for the most part, the Cornhuskers have languished in mediocrity. The immediate results after Osborne’s departure seemed to indicate a continuation of the dynasty, as they recorded…

Missouri had one of its best seasons on record in 2023, winning 11 games for the first time since joining the SEC and finishing a very solid second to Georgia in the SEC East. A strong finish led to them…

Oklahoma is getting ready to join the SEC and after years of digs at Big 12 programs, Head Coach Brett Venables has his team ready to answer their critics and make a serious run at the conference title. The Big 12 conference was always viewed by fans of SEC schools as a league that consisted of Oklahoma and Texas, and then everybody else. Given the fact that the Big 12 had not done well in the BCS playoffs, it was hard to argue with that take. But after a solid 10-3 season, Coach Brett Venables has turned the Sooners into…
When UCLA joined its crosstown rival USC in its leap into the Big 10, there were high hopes that it would signal a new era for Bruin football which had been on the downside of average for some time. Instead, things got worse. The program, which has gone through instability and indifference, now suffered the ultimate embarrassment as it saw head coach Chip Kelly leave to take an offensive coordinator position at their soon-to-be conference rival, Ohio State.
