when UNC scored on the first possession of the first game and Colin Cowherd immediately posted this, and then UNC lost by 34

Wasn’t really sure what to expect from Chapel Bill. But after that drive, I have him as second best college coach I’ve ever seen, just below Saban.

Stanford could hire Bill Belichick with that kind of money

San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle.com · 10h

Stanford was slow to embrace the dramatic changes in college sports in recent years, but the football program took a major leap forward in landing a $50 million donation from alum Bradford Freeman.

Is J.K. Dobbins overlooked in any best RB discussions because...

1. He's been frequently injured
2. People prefer tackle-breakers to home-run hitters
3. Lamar boosted his efficiency from good to great
4. Some other reason

Please respond, I'm unironically curious about this.

Frank Reich who won half as often (1) in more than twice as many games (11) as Bill Belichick in his lone coaching season in the state of North Carolina but will never hear any criticism for it because of his relative anonymity:

It's crazy he's trying so hard (1) at 30 years old, (2) on his 3rd contract, and (3) on a borderline hopeless Saints team

Rookies Ashton Jeanty, Bill Croskey-Merritt, and Omarion Hampton rank 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in broken tackle rate among regular running backs per @sportsinfosolutions.com.

And they are bookended by the two Offensive Player of the Year favorites at the position, Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor.
