Well, it’s been a week since the game in Death Valley. NC State played, the worst game I’ve seen them play in 2 years. I would argue that this is the worst performance in the Dave Doeren era at NC State. It is worse then that initial 3-9 Doeren team. Finley played the worst game …

Bryce, an All-Colonial Athletic Association first-team pick for him at UNC-Wilmington, was an overlooked ACC player coming out of high school or one that has blossomed.

If it seemed like Joe Giles-Harris and Ben Humphreys were joined at the hip throughout last week’s win at Georgia Tech, look no further the defensive statistics. Together, Duke’s inside linebackers combined for 26 tackles. Giles-Harris, a 6-foot-2, 240-pounder, led the Blue Devils with five solo tackles and 15 assisted for a 15 total. Humphreys, …

That egregiously overlooks the round-robin series involving Air Force along with Army and Navy. In fact, in 20 of the past 21 years the …

What would George say? How might the late George Webster, a Michigan State College Football Hall of Fame linebacker/safety on the 1965 and 1966 national championship teams, have viewed Jon Reschke re-joining the Spartans following a racially charged text?
