It’s a simple premise and yet a near-impossible challenge. The story of the past decade of college football is littered with superstars — from Lamar Jackson‘s mystifying talent to Baker Mayfield planting the Oklahoma flag at Ohio State to Tua Tagovailoa rescuing Alabama from the brink of defeat to a former walk-on in Stetson Bennett […]
Continue readingThere are only 108 days left until the start of the 2016 college football season, when California and Hawaii will kick off the season down under at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, Australia.

Continue readingLine: Over/under 47 There wasn’t a single point scored in either the first or third quarters of this game but, even so, bettors on the under still didn’t end up walking away winners. After both teams were held scoreless for the first 19 minutes of play, Jason Witten‘s 8-yard touchdown catch got the Cowboys on […]

Hinton, a practice-squad wide receiver, played quarterback against the New Orleans Saints. The result was a 31-3 loss to the Saints, with Hinton completing 1 of 9 passes for 13 yards.
