Many view Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel as the most exciting player in college football, and he reminded fans why during the Aggies' Chick-fil-A Bowl clash with Duke on New Year's Eve. With his team trailing the Blue Devils by 21 points early in the third quarter, Manziel did what only Johnny Football can by avoiding the Duke rush in spectacular fashion and finding Travis Labhart for a 19-yard touchdown, as seen in this GIF courtesy of ...

At 10:34 p.m. ET on New Year's Eve, ESPN College Football tweeted that the Bill O'Brien is leaving Penn State for the vacant Houston Texans job. Luckily for Nittany Nation, O'Brien left Penn State in much better condition than it was when he arrived.  Gone now is the uncertainty and stigma from the Sandusky situation, as ESPN Radio's Cory Giger tweeted. Penn State has survived as a university and as a football program and the head coaching ...

As far as non-BCS bowl games go, none have the clout of this year's AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, which will feature the No. 8 Missouri Tigers (11-2) and No. 13 Oklahoma State Cowboys on Friday (7:30 p.m. ET, FOX) in Dallas. The Jerry Dome, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, serves as a fitting venue for this big-time battle between familiar foes. Mizzou holds a 28-23 lead in the all-time series that dates back to 1915, well ...

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel could be playing in his final game in an Aggies uniform as they take on the Duke Blue Devils in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, and things were not going well in the first half.  Manziel is upset with his star wide receiver Mike Evans and slams his helmet down on the sidelines before he gives him a piece of his mind. Just when they think it can't get worse, during Manziel's speech, ...

When Sean Miller was hired at Arizona in 2009, the Pac-10 was in a state of flux. Only two teams from the conference earned NCAA tournament bids that season. Miller’s squad wasn’t one of them, as the Wildcats were left out of the Big Dance for the first time in 25 years. Four seasons later, things have changed. The league—which is now the Pac-12—was awarded five NCAA bids last spring, and two schools (Arizona and Oregon) reached ...

In a bit of Sunshine State drama, former University of Florida recruit Dalvin Cook flipped his verbal commitment to Florida State and Jimbo Fisher on Tuesday night.  FOX Sports' Amy Campbell has the news: Cook, a Miami native, originally gave his word to the Clemson Tigers in June of 2012, according to 247 Sports. He switched to Florida on April 6, 2013, but just days before enrolling in classes, he changed his mind again and committed to ...

Head coach Dan Mullen might finally take Mississippi State to the next level in 2014. He certainly has the quarterback to compete for the Bulldogs' first SEC West title since 1998.  Sophomore Dak Prescott showed why he'll go into next season as one of the more intriguing quarterbacks in the SEC. In a 44-7 win over Rice in the Liberty Bowl, the sophomore passed for 283 yards, ran for another 78 and had five total touchdowns.  Beyond ...

Two proud programs with great traditions will clash in Jacksonville, Fla. on Wednesday when the No. 22 Georgia Bulldogs (8-4) face the Nebraska Cornhuskers (8-4) in the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl. Both teams are without their starting quarterbacks. Nebraska's Taylor Martinez (foot) and Georgia's Aaron Murray (knee) are each out with injuries. Both teams also have great success in bowl games historically, as Georgia has 27 wins all-time and Nebraska has 24. This time around, Georgia enters the ...

The Florida Gators lost their No. 1 recruit, 247 Sports composite 5-star running back Dalvin Cook, to in-state rival Florida State. Amy Campbell of Fox Sports announced that the No. 2 running back in the 2014 class had flipped his commitment to FSU Tuesday. After being robbed of a blue-chip recruit during a down season, what will the Gators do now? They'll look to pay it forward by setting their sights on pulling in a running back committed ...

UCLA beat Virginia Tech at the 2013 Sun Bowl, 42-12, but the final score doesn't indicate how close the game was for much of the afternoon in El Paso, Texas.  After Michael Branthover drilled a 22-yard field goal late in the third quarter to pull the Hokies to within four points (14-10), it appeared the game was either team's to win.  The mystery didn't last long, however. Brett Hundley threw two touchdowns late to cap off a lopsided fourth ...
