Wendell Moore didn’t shrink from the challenges – emphasis on plural. Moore snapped a season-long drought when the sophomore scored 25 points to lead the Blue Devils past Boston College 83-82 on Wednesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The 6-foot-5 guard/forward had scored only 19 points in the season’s first five games, a slump that …

#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. If they wanted to run they did. If they want to pass this did. Nothing Brent Venables could draw up was slowing down Ohio State. Not only was it …

The Auto Zone Liberty Bowl Thursday afternoon in Memphis offers an contrast between independent Army with its 9-2 record facing Big 12 member West Virginia as a 5-4 team.

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing This will be a quick post. I didn’t expect Wake Forest to beat Wisconsin. 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 …
