This is the unit that paved the way for Notre Dame to run for 263 yards on 5.2 a carry and three touchdowns against LSU, which was only giving up 152 yards a game on the ground and 4.3 a carry. Notre Dame returns junior running back Tarean Folston, who in his first two seasons sharing time; he’s run for 1,359 yards, 5.1 a carry and 10 total touchdowns. Moving to back him up is converted receiver C.J. Prosise, who has some experience out of the backfield, and has even pushed Folston for first team carries in fall camp.

In year two of his offense, it is clear they are not a spread offense. Fans must understand that the spread offense does not always work for every team and is not the “next big thing” that you must implement to win, i.e., Michigan, Stanford, Michigan State. Running a spread offense requires athletic offense of lineman who can run, cut block, and win one in one battle, Penn States line to not equipped. Franklin needs to watch the film and realize when they run a pro-style offense with a fullback, both the line and Hackenberg look comfortable, and their

PREVIEW: This game has gone as high as five but it looks like the public has agreed that three is the correct line. This is a repeat of last year's game where the Irish trounced the Longhorns 38-3 in the first game of the year. Both teams are having QB issues and Kelly said veterans DeShone Kizer and Malik Zaire will share the quarterback duties duties for the Irish. Texas senior quarterback Tyrone Swoopes hasn't shown the ability to control the QB position for a good part of two seasons, so it will be more likely Freshman Shane Buechele who will see more action. The Irish were hit hard and now have the fewest number of returning starters in the country after losing their top rusher, three leading receivers, four top tacklers, a sack leader

Week 3 of the college football season is in the books, and the history book was nearly rewritten Saturday when Ohio State narrowly escaped Northern Illinois with a 20-13 victory in Columbus, Ohio.

Below is a recap of the most significant storylines from week 3 of the 2015 college football season.

Joe Paterno has been at the helm of Penn State football since 1966. In the world of intercollegiate sports it’s hard to find a coach that has a tenure with the same institution for more than ten years. In the past 37 seasons, Coach Paterno has won an astonishing 336 games, breaking Paul “Bear” Bryant’s record of 323 set at the University of Alabama. Besides obtaining the most wins in NCAA Division 1-A football, Paterno has two national championships (1982 and 1986) and a Big Ten conference championship in 1994 (DeLassus). These great moments add to the tradition of Penn State football history, but that’s exactly the point, Paterno’s triumphs are history. The past four

Villanova has always prided itself on continuity and developing players within their system. In the era of one-and-done basketball, where over 200 underclassmen have declared for the NBA Draft in the last five years, Villanova has been largely immune.

It's not a bad thing when Villanova's youngest team in years is still projected finish within

Walking into Mackey Arena is like walking into a basketball shrine, filled with history. That history is built upon the rivalry between Purdue and the school down south, Indiana University. On February 28, I was fortunate enough to be in Mackey Arena for this historical rivalry game and senior night, a game that meant Purdue could take the Big Ten Title in a win. Purdue did just that, winning 86 to 75. I was very pleased with the game and it exceeded all expectations I had for the huge rivalry.
