For years, Justin Herbert has been widely considered a prototype for an NFL quarterback. Scouts, coaches, executives and many in the media have gushed over his arm and legs, marveled at his mechanics and drooled over his potential. Heading into every year following his splendid rookie season, the NFL has been bracing for his inevitable breakthrough. It’s time we all admit that we were just wrong. After six NFL seasons, […]

After three full weeks of college football, there are four teams at the top of my top 25 who have yet to show flaws: Indiana, Georgia, Miami and Notre Dame. That does not mean that these teams are flawless. There’s still time and a number of ranked opponents for each of them to face before we can come to a definite conclusion on just how perfect — or imperfect — […]

There might not be a more fitting place for Chris Richards to talk college football than Wembley Stadium. The U.S. men's national team defender, who currently plays for Crystal Palace in the English Premier League, joined the "Big Noon Kickoff" crew in London ahead of Saturday's Kansas-Arizona State matchup at Wembley. Right away, the conversation turned to Richards' love for college football … and being an Alabama fan. Richards greeted […]

Is there any doubt LSU head coach Lane Kiffin is the most polarizing coach in college football? FOX Sports college football analyst Matt Leinart doesn't think so, and he's taking that a step further. "He's the most polarizing coach, I think, in the history of college football," Leinart said about Kiffin on Saturday's "Big Noon Kickoff." "He loves trolling. He loves playing the villain." No. 7 LSU faces off against […]

Who's in, and who's out? With FOX's "Big Noon Kickoff" in London for an international showdown between Arizona State and Kansas, the crew answered a series of questions regarding whether some schools should be "promoted" or "relegated" based on their play through the first two-plus weeks of the college football season. "I love what I've seen from Colorado and Coach Prime [Deion Sanders]," BNK analyst Brady Quinn said when asked […]

NFL offenses were literally too busy scoring in Week 1 for coaches to have much time for scoreboard watching, but the final numbers were unexpectedly high. A whopping 791 points, or a combined 49.4 per game, were scored in Week 1, matching the most for any Week 1 in the Super Bowl era. "I was definitely surprised to look up at the scoreboard on Sunday and see some of the […]

It’s been a little more than a year since the Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons and began rebuilding the defense in the image Jerry Jones preferred. He spent the millions he didn’t spend on Parsons to make them big, physical and tough, so they could stop the run and stop being pushed around. The result of his efforts was disastrous on Sunday night, of course. They were "out-physicaled" by the […]

Tom Brady doesn't want to hear the excuses for the Los Angeles Rams from their season-opening loss against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. In the season-opening edition of #AskTom, Brady made it evident that he doesn't care about the narrative that the Rams might have been jet-lagged from their last-minute flight to Australia before their 27-7 loss to the 49ers. "There was one thing I thought about during […]

Josh Allen took over this game in the first quarter, and even with the Lions scoring a respectable amount of points, it was clear the Buffalo Bills QB would never let Detroit back in the game. If the Lions scored, Allen would respond with one of his own. Just for good measure. Just to show who was in control. I didn’t expect a blowout, with both these teams looking like […]
