Boise State will go into one of the most interesting offseasons in college football as a winner. For the third straight year, Boise State won the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas. A field goal in the final minutes wrapped up a 28-26 win against a Washington team that was talented enough to beat Stanford and ...

Maybe Louisiana-Lafayette should be invited to the New Orleans Bowl every year. The Ragin' Cajuns are two-for-two in putting on a good show. Proving that smaller bowls can provide some of the best entertainment, Louisiana-Lafayette, buoyed by a nice crowd at the Superdome, held on for an exciting...

Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M’s Heisman-winning quarterback, has been everywhere since winning the famed bronze statue.

Tommy Tuberville has now been immortalized by Taiwanese animation. Tuberville has been vilified since abruptly leaving Texas Tech to fill the vacancy at Cincinnati. But recruit Devonte Danzey claiming that Tuberville actually left in the middle of a dinner with him and never came back on the nigh...

The holidays will be a little happier for paralyzed Tulane safety Devon Walker, who will be released from rehab and home for Christmas.

Jimmy Clausen, former Notre Dame quarterback and current Carolina Panthers' benchwarmer, is ready for the national championship and is perpetuating the stereotypes that go with it. On Monday, Clausen tweeted out his national championship T-shirt, which labeled the game between No. 1 Notre Dame an...

The best bowl game of the 2012-13 season might end up being the first. It's going to be difficult to top the drama of the New Mexico Bowl, with Arizona pulling off a nearly impossible victory in the final minute for one of the best bowl finishes in recent memory. Arizona trailed 21-0 in the first...

Kliff Kingsbury didn't have to do much to win over Texas Tech fans, he was, after all, one of the program's most revered quarterbacks. But during his introduction rally Friday, Kingsbury made sure to show his allegiance by taking little jabs at former coach Tommy Tuberville, who abruptly left the...

We don't see many collegiate-themed Christmas light shows around here, so when someone decides to post one on YouTube, especially one as intricate as this, we feel an obligation to post it (it does beat a corn maze). Mark Showalter, a Washington State alumnus, has done various light shows at his ...

The SEC has taken a stance on player safety, suspending a couple players for illegal hits this season to send a message. Then the conference had to review a very questionable hit from the SEC Championship Game and sent another message: Go Alabama! Alabama's Quinton Dial led with his helmet and le...

Here's the scene: Franco Harris, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and proud Penn State alum, finding NCAA president Mark Emmert to confront him about sanctions to the Nittany Lions, ending with the cops being called and Emmert running off. Yes, apparently this happened, according to John...

In the 78 times the Heisman Trophy has been given out, it's a little surprising only two players that wore No. 12 have won the award. And one of those two No. 12s wasn't even a quarterback. Those two players are rightfully first and second on the list (can you name them before scrolling down?) of...

The sentiment after Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting was that a defensive player might never win it. If Te'o, on a 12-0 team getting the Notre Dame hype and with a great personal story can't take home the trophy, then when will it happen? Well, there m...

Johnny Manziel already had the Heisman Trophy, the unending devotion of Texas A&M fans and a model girlfriend, and then he got to appear on the "Late Show with David Letterman" on Monday. We've mentioned it's pretty good to be Johnny Football, right? Manziel got to present Letterman's time-honore...

West Virginia's Mountaineer mascot is in trouble with the university after using the school-issued musket he totes around during games and appearances to shoot and kill a black bear. A video of the mascot's hunting exploits (warning: video is graphic) was placed online and seen by West Virginia o...

Call him Johnny Heisman. Better yet, call him Johnny History. Johnny Manziel, the fleet-of-foot quarterback from Texas A&M became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, besting Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein. "This is a moment I've dreamed about ...

It's always interesting to think what a coach is like during his first meeting with a new team. This is his first impression with the group of players whose performance for him will ultimately mean his success or failure. Tennessee let us see at least a little bit of Butch Jones' first meeting wi...

Only one time from the start of the college football season to the end of the calendar year does FBS schedule just one game on a Saturday. Army vs. Navy has a special place in the college football landscape. Plenty of college football fans will ignore the game this Saturday, for the obvious reaso...

College football hands out most of its awards this week. There's the show tonight to present most of the awards, and then on Saturday is the Heisman Trophy presentation, which should be historic because it's likely a freshman will win for the first time. In the spirit of the awards season, we at ...

It's hard to boil down the best plays of this college football season to just a top 10 (and some honorable mentions). Every week, all around the country, talented players make us sit up a bit in our seat and wait anxiously for the replay, so we can figure out if we really just saw what we think w...

Now the Bret Bielema move to Arkansas makes sense. He gets to be serenaded by Liz Honey. You may remember Liz Honey, the Arkansas fan who enjoys firing up her laptop and filming herself singing Razorback-related parody songs. She was moved to song by Bielema leaving Wisconsin for the Arkansas job...

There are plenty of people who don't like Northern Illinois' inclusion in the BCS. ESPN spent a couple hours last night telling us what a horror it was that NIU was playing in the Orange Bowl. Kirk Herbstreit went all Billy Packer on us and acted personally offended that a team outside the major ...

Mary Hardin-Baylor is moving on to the semifinals of the Division III playoffs thanks to an amazing play by quarterback LiDarral Bailey. Bailey, a senior, took the snap at the 2-yard line, faked the handoff and rolled out to his right. However, Wesley College defenders were not fooled and one of ...

Have you ever seen the Bo Jackson Tecmo Super Bowl run from the 80s where the famous players runs up and down the field with players diving at his feet? Yeah, Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez just recreated the moment against Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game. Facing a third-and-11 f...

We all knew Baylor running back Lache Seastrunk was fast, but he took that to another level with a 76-yard touchdown run on Oklahoma State. Seastrunk pulled his hamstring when he was just past midfield, and the Cowboys still couldn't catch him. Just after Seastrunk passed the 50-yard line, he gra...

Even without Les Miles involved, the first half of the SEC Championship Game was highlighted by a couple of clever fakes. The problem for Alabama was its great punt fake came after a delay of game penalty. Alabama had a fourth down deep in Georgia territory, and snapped to up-back Vinnie Sunseri,...

What better way to show your love and adoration for Texas A&M's freshman phenom quarterback Johnny Manziel then getting his likeness carved into your head. Rob the Original, a barbershop in San Antonio, used clippers and some paint to craft the most amazing haircut we've ever seen. As shown by th...

Los Angeles college football coaches have had some tough run-ins with the media this season, but coach Jim Mora Jr.'s battle with L.A. Times columnist T.J. Simers might have been the worst confrontation of all. Following UCLA's 35-17 loss to Stanford last week, Simers asked — in a somewhat confro...

The season is over for a good portion of the nation's teams and while we turn our attention to which schools might fill various bowl games, we also have to think about postseason awards, which will be handed out next week. The most coveted of those awards? The Heisman Trophy. For the past few wee...

There wasn't a whole lot of suspense when it came to figuring out who would play in the SEC title game. Georgia had clinched its spot weeks ago and even though Alabama needed a win against Auburn to claim the SEC West title. The Tigers haven't put up much of a fight against anyone this season and...

Penn State coach Bill O'Brien was emotional after his team's overtime win against Wisconsin, and then his interview on the field after the game provided a classic, "Wait, what did he just say?" double take moment. O'Brien was asked about his team after the win on ESPN2's telecast, and he called h...

For a couple moments, the best player in college football was on the turf in pain, holding his knee. Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M's freshman quarterback who is the frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy, had his knee twisted in a weird way as he was tackled at the end of a first quarter run against Miss...

The college football career touchdown record probably doesn't get the hoopla it deserves. The most basic goal of all football players is to get in the end zone, and nobody in FBS history has done that more often than Wisconsin running back Montee Ball. Ball broke the record, set by Miami (Ohio) r...

Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson hasn't quite had the season for which he hoped. Once a Heisman hopeful, Robinson has struggled in the passing game, was sidelined by an injury and ultimately has had to split snaps with backup Devin Gardner. But toward the end of the first half against Ohio St...

Notre Dame was unranked in the preseason AP poll. USC was No. 1. Funny that it's the Trojans in the spoiler role this week. Even if you've grown up hating Notre Dame, you have to admit this is a pretty cool story. Notre Dame, an independent that hasn't been a big part of the national title conver...

The competition for the best catch of the college football season was decided today, when LSU's Jarvis Landry decided he could make a one-handed catch on a pass thrown about three feet behind him. Landry was running a post route to the end zone in the first half against Arkansas, and quarterback ...

We all love college football. We all want to see more of it. The game production has never been better. No issues there. What enhances that experience is getting a peek behind the curtain. And for that we thank Vanderbilt. We're in an era in which coaches are paranoid and afraid to share anything...

Every year about this time of year, seniors say their tearful goodbyes to the football program, fans and friends who have played a major role for the previous four or five years. But when Penn State seniors take the field Sunday, the emotion will be multiplied. Senior cornerback Stephon Morris ea...

We all know Arkansas fans are desperate to find a coach to bring Arkansas to prominence, but I don't think anyone could fully grasp how desperate until this video surfaced this week. This Arkansas fan trio make a sad plea for Jon Gruden to leave his post at ESPN and come join the Razorbacks. Grud...

With just a week left in the regular season, the coaching carousel has started to spin faster. Five coaches are already out — Idaho's Robb Akey, Kentucky's Joker Phillips, Western Kentucky's Bill Cubit and Tennessee's Derek Dooley all were fired. UTEP's Mike Price opted for retirement. So, how ma...

Alabama has had such a great season that it was only a matter of time until someone decided to produce a YouTube tailgating video centered around the Crimson Tide. So, let's all give a hearty thank you to Nucklez, who released his "Turn It Up (Roll Tide)" video this past weekend for our enjoyment...

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly won't have to go on Oprah and stump for his team to make the BCS Championship Game. The Irish now control their own destiny. There were a few clear winners on Saturday night as the BCS erupted in chaos. Stanford and Baylor got season-defining upsets against Oregon and...

**Warning** Some language Les Miles has a lot of pent-up emotions ranging from anger to love to pure craziness and it all came out Saturday in one 2-minute rant during his postgame press conference following LSU's 41-35 win over Ole Miss. And trust that it was a glorious. It's hard to pinpoint ex...
