Good news: We are just 100 days away from the start of college football. To mark the occasion, we're pulling out a checklist today of things that Big Ten teams need to accomplish between now and the start of the season. It's not quite "The Final C...

Saturday featured a three-pack of spring games around the Big Ten, and we're recapping each one. Next up, the annual Blue-White Game at Penn State. You can find coverage of Penn State's spring game here and here and here and here. Star of the g...

By this point in our ultimate Big Ten road trip, we're probably looking a little haggard. Too many fast-food binges, too little exercise and too much time in airports and hotels likely has made us delirious. Good thing it's just imaginary, then. W...

Penn State's Deion Barnes distinguished himself the way many young defensive linemen do: by beating tackles around the edge and putting quarterbacks on the ground. Barnes led the Nittany Lions in both sacks (6) and tackles for loss (10) and tied f...

On paper, Penn State returns only one starter at linebacker (Glenn Carson) and loses two All-Big Ten players (Michael Mauti and Gerald Hodges) at the position. But anyone who watched the Nittany Lions' defense in 2012 knows junior Mike Hull isn't ...

The last time we saw Penn State, the Lions were celebrating a surprisingly strong finish to the 2012 season and saying farewell to a special senior class. Penn State since has turned the page and will begin spring practice Monday with a mix of famili...

Louisville will be without several key players when spring practice opens later this month, and several others are questionable. Here is a list of players who are out: FB Luke Brohm LB Tyon Dixon WR Michaelee Harris CB Andrew Johnson D...

Kudos to Penn State students for another terrific THON event. They raised more than $12.3 million to help fight pediatric cancer. An excellent piece showing the oral history of the Pat Fitzgerald era at Northwestern. Nebraska is finding fewer a...

Penn State has filled its lone coaching staff vacancy with Marshall assistant Anthony Midget, according to multiple reports. Marshall head coach Doc Holliday on Wednesday confirmed Midget is leaving the Thundering Herd to take a position on Bill O...

I had a chance to catch up with Louisville offensive coordinator Shawn Watson this week, and we had a terrific phone conversation touching on many aspects of the Cards' offense. You will read plenty more in the coming week, including a profile on ...

If we joined forces, we could become the greatest business power duo since Gregory Linens teamed up with Thomas N' Things. Ted Roof says it was a hard decision to leave Penn State, but the pull of home was too strong. New Lions defensive coordina...

John Butler says Bill O'Brien informed him on Wednesday morning that he'd been promoted from Penn State's secondary coach to its defensive coordinator. Butler simply thanked O'Brien and asked what the head coach wanted. "It wasn't like there was a...

Bill O'Brien is staying at Penn State after a brief flirtation with the NFL, but one of his top assistants and closest friends is not. Defensive coordinator Ted Roof resigned Wednesday after spending just one season at Penn State, and took the sam...
