UCLA linebacker Myles Jack has placed himself firmly in the running for the 2014 Heisman Trophy. If there was any doubt about it before, the freshman standout cast it all aside with his performance during the Bruins’ lopsided victory over Virginia Tech, 42-12, during Saturday’s Sun Bowl. Jack played an all-around solid game on defense, making his presence felt all over the field. But the highlight of his day was easily the fourth-quarter interception off Hokies quarterback ...

The ACC may not be quite ready to reclaim its crown as the best conference in NCAA basketball, but it’s not far off, either. The addition of three former Big East powers is set to make what was already a grueling league schedule even tougher for the mere mortals hoping to vie with the Tobacco Road elite. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the traditional powerhouses have players like Jabari Parker on their side. Duke’s freshman ...

As Steve Sarkisian carries on in his transition from Washington to USC, the Huskies continue to feel the brunt of his departure on the recruiting front. Sark already brought composite 4-star defenders Claudeson Pelon and Jonathan Lockett to Southern Cal, both of whom had ties to UW. Now, the Huskies have lost another prized recruit, Jacob Daniel, a 247Sports 5-star defensive tackle for the 2015 class. The Clovis, Calif., native announced his decommitment on Twitter Tuesday afternoon (h/t Matt Prehm, ...

The Gator Bowl is right around the corner and the Georgia Bulldogs are looking to get their second straight win over Nebraska. And in order for them to do that, they will need Hutson Mason to have a big day under center. Mason played well against Georgia Tech and with a month to prepare with the first-team offense, he should improve. However, he is going against a Nebraska defense that while is not the unit what it ...

One of the more intriguing storylines in Alabama’s upcoming matchup against Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl will feature a potent Tide offense going against a stout Sooners defense.  Nick Saban’s offensive attack averaged nearly 450 yards of total offense this season and scored nearly 39 points per game. Meanwhile, Bob Stoops’ troops led the Big 12 in total defense, allowing just 336 yards per contest. That figure that placed them 14th nationally in that category, according ...

UCLA has its first 10-win season since 2005, reaching the milestone Tuesday in a 42-12 rout of Virginia Tech in the Sun Bowl.  Aside from reaching 10 wins at the same bowl game as the 2005 Bruins, this UCLA season ends on a different trajectory. The program hit the double-digit benchmark twice previously in the BCS era, and each campaign—1998 and 2005—was the culmination of an era.  After going 10-2 in 1998, the next six UCLA teams ...

It's been a while since Virginia Tech has been, well, Virginia Tech. The program that Frank Beamer built from the ground up has been mediocre at best over the last few years and was just smacked with another dose of reality in the 42-14 loss to UCLA in the Sun Bowl. Fans are ready to hit the panic button, especially with the bowl system being introduced next season. If there's ever a time to make a ...

If the 2014 Sun Bowl was the last collegiate game for UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley, he put on a grand final act. His play was instrumental in the Bruins' 42-12 victory over the Virginia Tech Hokies on Tuesday.  The redshirt sophomore could bolt for the NFL in May or return to UCLA for at least one more season.   The Hokies had no answers for the scrambling ability of the Bruins' star in the first half. Hundley ran all ...
