UCLA's quick rise in the Pac-12 under head coach Jim Mora is due in no small part to the program's recruiting efforts.  Mora's first three signing classes, starting in 2012, have ranked fourth, third and first in the conference, per 247Sports. It's no wonder then that the Bruins are primed for league contention.  UCLA's 2015 signing class is shaping up to be arguably Mora and his staff's best yet. The Bruins currently have six commitments and are firmly in ...

Backup defensive end Jamal Marcus, who was expected to start the first two games of next season while Noah Spence finishes his three-game suspension, has left the Ohio State program. The earliest report came from Kyle Rowland of Eleven Warriors and said Marcus had been dismissed from the team along with receiver Brandon Ojikutu for a violation of team rules. But according to a later report from Bill Rabinowitz of the Columbus Dispatch, Marcus is simply transferring from the program, and his ...

It's a trap!  Saturday, Aug. 30, 2014, will be almost seven years to the day since Appalachian State stunned No. 5 Michigan in the Big House, 34-32.

The Buckeyes' middling offense was to blame for both the postseason loss and the rather mediocre regular season in Columbus. It ranked 128th in Ken Pomeroy’s pace-adjusted offensive efficiency ratings, 208th ...

In an offense that's loaded with talent at running back and wide receiver, Alabama's biggest weapon might be one that isn't playing one of those glamour positions. Tight end O.J. Howard. The rising sophomore for the Crimson Tide caught 14 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns last season, including a 52-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter against LSU last year. That wasn't good enough to earn freshman All-SEC honors, as Arkansas freshman Hunter Henry (28 rec., 409 ...

The whole thing is one enormous inconvenience. Not the fact that Aaron Golub is completely blind in his right eye and deals with restricted vision in his left, but that he’s talking to an anxious college football writer between classes. “Personally, if I’m being honest, I hate all this stuff,” Golub says with a hint of laughter and an even bigger hint of frustration. “I can’t stand the attention. I just like playing football.” To us, it’s ...
