Ohio State's defense has been the topic of much consternation over the past month-plus, thanks to subpar efforts against Michigan and Michigan State in back-to-back games.  Come the Orange Bowl, some will get their wish, as Ohio State's defense is about to look a lot different than it has all season long.  For some, it couldn't be much worse than giving up over 1,000 yards and 75 points in a two-game span.  With those kinds of results, could ...

After a disappointing 4-8 campaign in 2012, the Iowa Hawkeyes are returning to a January bowl game for the seventh time in the last 12 years. This time, it's against the No. 16 LSU Tigers in the Outback Bowl. Hawkeye fans are excited and will fill up Raymond James Stadium on New Year's Day.

The Michigan State Spartans have a storied history of basketball excellence, particularly under the tutelage of head coach Tom Izzo. Many of his past successful teams have had a plethora of talent, size, maturity and togetherness, which has fueled them to postseason success. And Izzo's 2013-14 squad is no exception. The Spartans are currently ranked No. 5 in the AP Poll, but they pose the greatest threat to be the last ones dancing come early April. Their lethal ...

If you like smashmouth football, proud football programs and solid defense, well, you are going to love Michigan versus Stanford in this year's Rose Bowl. The similarities between these teams are readily apparent. Stanford rushed for 210.9 yards per game; Michigan State ran for 182.2. Michigan State held opponents to just 12.7 points per contest, fourth in the nation, while Stanford allowed just 18.6, 10th in the country. And both ended the national title hopes of prominent ...

Two months ago, Kentucky and the greatest recruiting class of all time was close to a consensus No. 1 and Louisville was thought to have a decent shot at repeating. The Cardinals were also a heavy favorite in the American Athletic Conference. What's my point? A lot can change in two months.

The Ohio State Buckeyes finished No. 3 in points scored and boast the third-best rushing offense this season. ...
