Eighty-seven That is how many players UConn added to the roster this offseason. Sixty of them arrived through the transfer portal. Jason Candle gutted the programme and rebuilt it from scratch. The first look came last Saturday: 56-7 over Lafayette, 671 total yards, a school record. Kalieb Osborne was at the centre of everything. The…

Sixty-six points, and almost none of it in doubt Syracuse put 66 on New Hampshire and conceded three. Shavane Anderson Jr. ran for 102 yards and three touchdowns, part of a 239-yard, four-score afternoon on the ground for the Orange. Cal visit on Saturday, and both teams open ACC play with it. Syracuse (1-0) are…

Thirteen years in Green Bay, and now Pittsburgh Mike McCarthy coached Aaron Rodgers for 13 seasons at Lambeau. On Sunday they share a sideline again, in Pittsburgh, against Atlanta.

Sixty-seven years on, the visitor is Mississippi State, and the two programs have never met. The game sits in a day packed with three SEC vs Big Ten…

Two quarterbacks, no decision Vanderbilt used two quarterbacks in its season-opening win over Austin Peay. The Commodores (1-0) are expected to roll with the same plan on Saturday against Delaware. Blaze Berlowitz made the first start of his career. The graduate student completed 11 of 16 passes for 149 yards in the 28-9 win. He…
