For the first time in the 2023 college football season, the Boston College Eagles (1-2) will be on the road as they head to Louisville, KY. to meet the Louisville Cardinals (3-0) on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles came close to heading out on the road with a major victory in their back pockets. The 31-29 […]
My quest continued this week to figure out the Wake Forest delayed run-pass option mesh offensive scheme – one of the most clever, mystifying, and effective strategies in all of sports. I went to a source I figured could unpack this thing for me so I could fill you in on football’s blackest box. His […]
You saw the young man struggle last week. Adversity almost swallowed him whole. He heaved a duck interception – it went the other way for a touchdown. Even worse, inside Old Dominion’s 10-yard line, he committed football’s biggest sin: he fumbled the ball. That one went 90 yards the other way for six. Then he […]

College football oddsmakers are now predicting these two over-exposed and unfathomably provocative football teams will play for the national championship in January. Wake Forest has become […]
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College dropped a 31-29 decision at home to #3/3 Florida State on Saturday afternoon at Alumni Stadium. The game – the BC Eagles ACC opener – was also the 10th annual “Red Bandanna” game. Thomas Castellanos shined in the air and on the ground for the Eagles, completing 20-of-33 passes for […]
On the brink of a disastrous loss and trailing 17-0 at half-time, Wake Forest’s football team (now 3 and 0) dug deep and managed to come back from the dead and get past Old Dominion University, 27-24. The team’s quarterback, Mitch Griffis, made up for an extremely shaky game and two awful first-half turnovers, and […]
