Florida State didn’t play their best football in a 35-32 Cheez-It Bowl win victory over Oklahoma. The Sooners came out motivated, and with an excellent offensive game plan that kept the Noles off-balance the entire game.

On November 12th, North Carolina stood 9-1 and in the top 15 with a QB in Drake Maye in line to get to NYC and contend for a Heisman. There was even a remote shot at the playoffs. Then it all just fell apart. North Carolina started to find ways to lose in every possible …

What other superlative can you use to describe Mike Elko’s first season at Duke? After a 9-4 season that included a bowl win was it astonishing, stunning, or shocking? How about all of the above and more? Before Elko’s arrival, Duke went 1-17 in the ACC, and 0-8 last year. They won only 5 total …
