Florida State Deploys Some Form Of Witchcraft To Save Broken Trick Play
One of the clearest signs that a trick play is going to shit is when the players involved in said trickery start to look frantic in their movements. This is exactly where Syracuse had Florida State with about three-and-a-half minutes left in the first half on Saturday....
The Unblockable Chase Young Made Wisconsin Look Like Frauds
Here were the things Wisconsin’s offensive linemen could do to stop Ohio State defensive end and elite pass rusher Chase Young in Saturday’s game, his former coach, Urban Meyer, said on the pregame show: They could chip him—have a fullback or tight end sprint into his ribs—with someone like running ...

Patrick Beverley Mercilessly Taunts Warriors Fans After Clippers Ruin New Arena's Opening Night
Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers opened up the Warriors’ shiny new San Francisco arena by hanging 141 points on the hapless Dubs. That’s the most in almost a decade.

On a first-and-10 from his team’s 23-yard line, Joe Burrow, LSU quarterback and the current Heisman favorite, broke conventional football wisdom and took what might be the wisest sack of his career.

Ohio Recovers Onside Kick Booted Off Opposing Receiver's Helmet
