There’s one phrase that makes blood run cold from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to Provo, Utah: College kickers. On Saturday, the fortunes of four SEC programs were changed in an instant by two college kickers missing critical kicks in painful fashion.  Arkansas had a manageable 42-yarder to beat Texas A&M for a second straight season. The Razorbacks out-gained the Aggies by more …

Transfer USC saw dividends paid on Saturday. The Trojans got a late touchdown pass from Oklahoma transfer Caleb Williams to Pittsburgh transfer Jordan Addison and escaped with a 17-14 Pac-12 victory over Oregon State on Saturday. USC has used the transfer portal arguably more effectively than any other school coinciding with Lincoln Riley’s arrival as head coach from the Sooners. …

USATSI No. 6 Oklahoma suffered its first loss of the Brent Venables era, 41-34, at home to his alma mater, Kansas State. With a third loss to the Wildcats in the past four seasons, the Sooners are 0-1 in Big 12 play for just the third time since 2012. The Sooners won their first three games of the season by …

NORMAN, Okla. — It’s a script Oklahoma has become all too familiar with in recent years. Kansas State comes into the meeting with the Sooners with signs of struggle, then turns things on against OU. That’s exactly what happened Saturday. The Wildcats’ offense, which had been slumbering during non-conference play, came alive behind Adrian Martinez and Deuce Vaughn. Kansas State’s defense made life difficult …

Kansas State came out in the first quarter and jumped out to a 14-0 lead. Oklahoma battled back to make it a one-score game in the second quarter, but penalties and missed throws from quarterback Dillon Gabriel prevented the Sooners from stringing together any consistent offense in the second half as the Oklahoma Sooners fell to Kansas State 41-34 on …

ESPN No. 23 Texas A&M’s 23-21 win over No. 10 Arkansas  hung in the balance on Saturday night as Razorbacks kicker Cam Little’s 42-yard field goal attempt made its way toward the uprights with 1:30 remaining. Then, in a cruel twist of fate for the sophomore, the football ricocheted off the top of the right goal post, shot up into the …

The Crimson Tide took care of business in their SEC opener against Vanderbilt with a convincing 55-3 victory. The loss extends Vanderbilt’s SEC losing streak to 22 games while Alabama is 4-0 headed to Top-10 Arkansas next week. Bryce Young dazzled with four first-half touchdowns and Will Anderson Jr. did his thing with 2.5 sacks, however, the player that really …

No. 6 Oklahoma begins its Big 12 schedule Saturday night when it plays host to Kansas State in what has been considered somewhat of a trap game for the Sooners in recent years. The Brent Venables era is off to a solid start in Norman, Oklahoma, however, following blowout victories over UTEP, Kent State and Nebraska. The Sooners dominated the Cornhuskers 49-14 on the road behind …

The boats were quadruple parked on the edge of the Tennessee River, hours before Saturday’s kickoff. Fans lined up along Peyton Manning Pass for the pregame Vol Walk were more than four deep. Try scores deep. They came to watch a Top 25 football clash. They came to checker the stadium in orange and white. They came to watch Hendon …

ESPN No. 10 Arkansas was on the cusp of taking a two-possession lead on No. 23 Texas A&M late in the first half of Saturday’s game in Arlington, Texas, when disaster struck for the Razorbacks and flipped the momentum in favor of the Aggies. Facing a first-and-goal from the 3-yard line, Arkansas quarterback K.J. Jefferson tried to leap over a …

The first half of the Southwest classic, was…. memorable. The normally stingy A&M defense gave up 280 total yards and 2 passing touchdowns including an uncharacteristic coverage bust in the secondary to allow Warren Thompson to run wide open down the field for a 56-yard touchdown pass from Razorbacks quarterback K.J. Jefferson to put the Hogs in front 14-0. After …

USATSI Middle Tennessee went into Hard Rock Stadium and handed No. 25 Miami a 45-31 upset loss as a 26-point underdog on Saturday. The loss will spark a quarterback debate for the Hurricanes and plenty of uneasy fan feelings following a second straight defeat and 2-2 start to the Mario Cristobal era. The win was Middle Tennessee’s first over an AP …

Despite dominating the stat sheet in the first half, No. 10 Arkansas holds on to a one-point advantage over No. 20 Texas A&M, 14-13 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Arkansas holds a 280-152 advantage in the yards department, and even held Texas A&M quarterback Max Johnson to 51 yards passing in the half, but the first half was all …
