By TOM SHANAHAN Duke coach David Cutcliffe announced he’s shuffled his coaching staff following a 2-9 season, but the most significant move involved the head coach.

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing With NC State going down to a bad Kentucky team as Bailey Hockman threw interception after interception. North Carolina was the ACC’s last shot at a bowl win. They were decided underdog against Texas A&M with multiple opt outs, but led 27-20 in the 2nd half. They couldn’t hold the …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing If you’re a Clemson fan, what you witnessed Friday night was a total disaster. Ohio State did whatever they wanted offensively.

I predicted a loss. https://allsportsdiscussion.com/2020/12/27/predicting-each-acc-bowl-game/ What I didn’t expect was such a uncharacteristically sloppy effort from the Deacs. Under Dave Clawson, Wake Forest doesn’t always win, but they seem to rarely beat themselves. Wednesday Wake Forest …

You’re never happy with a loss. Moral victories don’t usually mean much, and Miami should be fuming at a 37-34 loss to Oklahoma State. That said not all losses should be weighed the same. Last year Miami collapsed to finish the season and looked dreadful doing it. Manny Diaz was already drawing grumbling from the …
