A second LSU offensive player is expected to enter the transfer portal upon its opening on December 9. 247Sports is reporting that wide receiver Landon Ibieta will be searching for a new school following the conclusion of the 2024 regular season. The redshirt sophomore dealt with injuries during his time in Baton Rouge, which led to limited playing time. Ibieta made two appearances in three seasons with the Tigers. One of the appearances came in the 2022 Citrus Bowl against Purdue where he made two catches for 15 yards. He saw the field once this year in a 34-10 win…
Alabama is one of several teams still in consideration to make the College Football Playoff now that the regular season is over. ESPN college football analyst Paul Finebaum believes the Crimson Tide should be in the CFP when the bracket is revealed on Sunday. According to Finebaum, Alabama should make the College Football Playoff for several reasons, with one of those being its brand. If I’m giving this committee credit and belief, which I’ll decide next Sunday whether I do or not – so far I’m all over the map. I think they’ll look at Alabama, and will the brand…
Tom Brady is living an NFL double life. The seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback kicked off an historic deal to be the top NFL analyst for Fox Sports this season, while his agreement to purchase a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders was approved in October. That arrangement led the NFL to put limitations in place on what Brady can do as a broadcaster. Brady cannot be overly critical of players (a line he may have crossed on Thanksgiving) or referees, participate in interviews with coaches or players during the week, or visit opposing teams’ facilities. In a new…
College football is 24/7/365 and that is true for the ever-changing coaching staffs that programs across the sport see. To keep up with the trends and innovation, head coaches are always looking for the next young hire to help ascend their offense to the next level. The Oklahoma Sooners are hoping they have struck that with their newest hire. The Sooners are finalizing a three-year deal to bring Ben Arbuckle in as their new offensive coordinator and lure him from Washington State, as reported by ESPN’s Pete Thamel. Ben Arbuckle came into the spotlight this past season when the Washington…
Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson has confessed that his mom “cussed him out”as she felt her son could have run the ball more as his team fell to defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles. The MVP quarterback’s team fell to a 24-19 loss on Sunday, with his talents largely contained by the eventual victors at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens are now playing catch-up with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the race for the AFC North title – with their record standing at 8-5 for the season so far. During the encounter, Jackson rushed eight times for 79 yards, with that figure…
The Alabama Crimson Tide find themselves on the outside looking in of the College Football Playoff picture after last week’s 24–3 upset loss to Oklahoma. At No. 13 in this week’s CFP rankings, the Crimson Tide likely need a statement win over rival Auburn in today’s Iron Bowl, and likely need some help on top of it as well. Auburn has been disappointing this season at 5–6, with a 2–5 record in SEC play. The Tigers may be peaking at the right time, however, as they upset Texas A&M last week 43–41. During Saturday’s edition of College GameDay, ESPN’s Lee…
The NCAA Transfer Portal has added a ton of craziness to college football over the past few years. That includes moves that one might not have thought were possible in previous ages of the sport. Don’t believe me? Just check out Florida State’s most recent offer on the recruiting trail. On Sunday evening, FAU running back transfer CJ Campbell Jr. announced that he has been offered a scholarship by the Seminoles. If the name is familiar, it’s because Campbell began his college career at Florida State in 2021 as a walk-on. Campbell transferred to Florida Atlantic following the 2023 season.…

LEXINGTON — Vince Marrow said Monday he’ll be back for his 13th season with Kentucky football in 2025. Marrow, who wears a variety of hats — associate head coach, tight ends coach, recruiting coordinator and NFL liaison — for the Wildcats, has been with the program since coach Mark Stoops’ debut campaign in 2013. But the day after the team’s season-ending 41-14 loss to Louisville over the weekend, rumors began to circulate that Marrow was considering switching sides in the Governor’s Cup rivalry. During a Monday morning interview with Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio, however, Marrow confirmed he planned to return for another…
The rivalry between the Kentucky Wildcatsand Louisville Cardinals will always show intense competitiveness between the two programs. This is due to their being in-state rivals and the battle for the Governor’s Cup trophy, a symbol of bragging rights and dominance in the Bluegrass State. Sadly, this year was a blowout as Louisville dominated Kentucky, 41-14, snapping Kentucky’s five-game win streak in the series. While the loss itself was disappointing, it wasn’t the craziest story of the day. Kentucky offensive tackle Gerald Mincey was spotted at the concession stand during the game. Although Mincey has been sidelined with an injury since…
