This is quite the accomplishment for quarterback Nick Minicucci against one of the most talented C-USA rosters Especially when you consider future NFL quarterbacks like Joe Flacco and Rich Gannon were facing FCS competition
Couldn't stop QB1 😤 18 straight completions to start the night

*taps the sign*
UConn DISMANTLES Purdue in an exhibition in Hartford, 76-53. The Boilermakers shot just 2-of-25 from 3. 😬 Thoughts?

Listed at 6-foot-6 and 265 pounds, Temple tight end Peter Clarke (0) is a handful to bring down in the flat Nice chip on the defensive tackle as well

The real problem seemed to be the tight end being aligned off the LOS It didn’t matter what Tyreek King did, either way would result in a penalty If he stepped back off the LOS, there would be five men in the backfield…
“The wide receiver that covered [Tyreek King] up was eligible, but [King] became ineligible by position.” Former SEC replay official Gerald Hodges on the ineligible man downfield ruling in the Vols’ 27-24 loss on @SportsTalkon991 w/ @VinceSports & @RobertAyersJr Link below ⬇️

There has been an uptick in receiving production for Temple tight end Peter Clarke (0) over the last three games Facing a defense that wants to stop the run, his initial showing of a block makes the corner step up and he slips free He worked open up the seams all game

Peter Clarke (0) pancakes the same exact defensive end on the play before as Temple converted the third down…
Trailing 24-20 with 12 min left Temple takes out the NFL prospect Y-TE and puts backup in to go 1v1 vs edge It goes as you would expect and UConn eventually scores a touchdown on the ensuing drive to effectively ice the game Absolutely baffling decision…

Too many people are surprised to learn that their actions have consequences…
This won’t be a popular take, but I’m not surprised by any player tossing a fan outta their way after a field storming. Drunk college kids yelling in my face after a loss or putting a finger up in my grill, I’m probably gonna react abruptly too. Gotta find a way to stop this.

We have lost the plot on what the term “blue-chip” means for NFL prospects
The 2027 NFL Draft Class looks really poor at the top. Over the last 12 years that I have been evaluating college players, I have graded 17.9 prospects on average as blue chip, "A-tier" prospects per class. This year, I only have ten in that category:

NDSU will likely finish this year 10-2 with losses to two of the top G6 teams in the entire nation by a combined 11 points Moving from FCS to G6 and immediately becoming a top 5 team at that level is a very successful season for the Bison…
North Dakota State. Regular team in the FCS semifinals or national title game, most seasons in the last many years. Eyes adore money, move up to FBS football. Now have 2 defeats and out of any CFP convo. If they were in the FCS they would still be chasing a national title.

Dave Doeren averaged 8 wins per year since 2020 (6 years) with no investment Interesting decision from NC State to not invest into the program and then wonder why it was falling behind in the ACC Surely, hiring another coach and not investing into him will be the solution!
BREAKING: NC State has fired head coach Dave Doeren, the school has announced. on3.com/news/nc-state-parts-…

Not going at Jesse Legree whatsoever at all… … but holding a HS signing day type of announcement — in October — to share that you will be back with the same college you are currently at for the next season perfectly encapsulates where we are at with CFB. Wild, wild times.

Jake Wilson (89) is CLUTCH! After converting 4th-and-long to get in the red zone, he works up the seam for the game-tying TD on 3rd-and-goal This score forced OT, where Wyoming picked up an impressive road win

Wyoming tight end Jake Wilson (89) converts a HUGE 4th-and-9 here With his team down seven in the fourth quarter, he finds the soft spot to convert Holds a near identical profile to current top draft prospect DJ Vonnahme with frame, movement and track times 👀

I am trying to watch and evaluate some of the players in the Wyoming offense SJSU edge Jeremiah Tuiileila (45) is making that rather difficult so far He leads the nation in pass rush win rate

3rd and long is a very dangerous situation when facing the SJSU defense Facing one of the top mid major right tackles, Jeremiah Tuiileila (45) converts speed to power, earning a red zone sack

There’s also less pressure to be PERFECT right away, which is something that is ultimately killing these five star QBs I don’t think it’s a coincidence that most of the top recent cfb QBs have begun at programs not expecting to win the CFP (Cal, Tulane, UIW, UNT, D2, etc)
"One agent reps a current Group of Six starter, who was a backup at an SEC school in 2025. They said getting in-game tape now outweighs waiting out the chance to start in the Power Four." Have stressed this over the last 18 months as a growing trend when talking to QB prospects and their team (family, trainers, agents) I believe it's a good thing for the sport and QB development, but it makes stacking depth at the position harder than ever

University of Maryland is a public university. There’s nothing wrong with these students standing in a public place. They were not causing any harm or trying to breach the facility. Great job in your reporting efforts Nolan & Jude.
For @testudotimes, @JudeWilkenfeld and I were outside Jones-Hill House trying to get players to comment. An athletics staffer took pictures of us, and a police dispatch was called for suspicious activity; a cop and 2 cop cars pulled up, and officers ID’d us and asked us to leave.

This seems like the best opportunity for Charles Huff to make the jump to P4 A string of hires that I could see resulting from the hiring of Huff this offseason… Maryland: Charles Huff Memphis: Jerry Mack Kennesaw State: Joel Taylor
Sources: Maryland coach Mike Locksley has been dismissed. Maryland dropped to 2-5 on Saturday after a last-second loss to Rutgers. Locksley is 39-54 overall at Maryland, including his interim stint in 2015. Maryland is on a bye this week.
