The conversation focused on coaching decisions during the Tulsa-North Texas showdown, Baylor’s defensive line emerging as one of the conference’s best, and Rich Rodriguez’s conservative play calling nearly costing West Virginia. The discussion explored transf...

Can DJ Lagway ignite the Bears’ offense and save Dave Aranda’s job, or will Auburn’s transfer-heavy roster under Alex Golesh hold the upper hand? The group debates talent disparities, the impact of new coaching staffs, and whether last year’s stats offer any real insight for fans expecting a breakout performance.

The conversation focused on Oklahoma State’s revamped lineup, raising questions about defensive improvement and the upside of bringing in nearly an entire staff from North Texas. UCF’s Alon...

However, Dykes won’t let the ongoing story be an excuse for Saturday’s. PFF has a surprise defender as the best player of the game.

The biggest fear for Jaden Craig isn't that he can't adjust to the P4. It's that he can't be the playmaker TCU Football needs and is just a game manager. That being said, that shouldn't stop Craig from being a good QB. 
The fact the game didn't look too fast for him is valuable. Moving forward the offense needs to feature the tight ends more.
