Kickoff: The Huskies and Panthers will be meeting for just the second time on Friday night. Georgia State won the first meeting last fall, a 35-14 in Atlanta. Here are four keys to the game for the Huskies. 1st Down: Evers needs to turn things around: Quarterback Nick Evers has struggled of late. He needs to start playing better and make more plays in the passing game. The Huskies need……
New England college preview – Week 10
We’re officially hitting the home stretch of the college season starting this weekend. After games Saturday, there are just three weeks left in the season for FCS teams and four weeks left for Boston College, UConn and UMass. BC, Holy Cross and Sacred Heart are on bye weeks as we roll into November, but there’s some massive playoff implications on the line in games across New England. Two teams from…
Harvard looking to spoil Dartmouth’s perfect season & keep Ivy League title hopes alive
Entering 2024, Harvard didn’t feel like the Ivy League champs despite clinching a share of the title in 2023. Losses to Yale and Princeton created a three-way tie with the Bulldogs and Dartmouth for the prestigious championship. This season, the reality of another split championship is becoming more real by the week, but in order for the Crimson to have a piece of the pie this time around, Harvard will…
Can Dartmouth keep magical run going vs. Harvard?
If you haven’t been paying attention to the Dartmouth football story over the last two years, you’re missing out. Last season, Sammy McCorkle took over the program in a nearly impossible situation following the tragic passing of longtime head coach Buddy Teevens. Replacing a legend is always hard, but under these circumstances, it would have been perfectly understandable if the Big Green sort of just ‘got by’ in 2023. Instead,…
Never mind being buyers. The Patriots need to be sellers
According to Josina Anderson, the Patriots are exploring possible trade options and are looking at making deals to upgrade several key positions including wide receiver and offensive line. Anderson is a reputable reporter so I have no doubt that her sources are reliable but if it is true that they are looking to add instead of trading players, that is preposterous. On Wednesday, Patriots coach Jerod Mayo was asked for…
Henry’s & Herzlich’s team up for special night at BC

This wasn’t an ordinary sit down or meet-and-greet, it was faith-based discussion conducted by the Christian life group ‘BC Athletics In Action.’ Hunter and Parker have often been very open about their faith on…

Wachusett’s Dubzinski wins Patriots’ Coach of the Week award
Image courtesy of the New England Patriots As if winning a milestone game as a high school head coach isn’t special enough, being recognized by the Patriots days later is a cool way to cap things off. Last Friday, Wachusett beat rival Algonquin in a bit of a shootout, 32-27. Not only did the victory move the Mountaineers 4-3 with the playoff push now in full gear, but it was…
College Dudes of the Week: Week 9
Here are our college dudes of the week for Week 9. UConn running back Durrell Robinson rushed for 132 yards on 15 carries and scored a rushing touchdown in the Huskies 17-10 win over Rice. DUDE! The UMass defense finished with 2 sacks, 9 tackles for loss and an interception in a 35-7 win over Wagner. DUDES! Devin Farrell and Malik Grant combined for three rushing touchdowns in URI’s 24-14……
UMass starting tough stretch to close out another disappointing season
So, now what? UMass is 2-6 with road games against Mississippi State and Georgia two of the next three weeks. Liberty and UConn also remain on the schedule, which means 2-10 is a very real, and the most-likely outcome for the 2024 Minutemen. With mere months until the program heads into the MAC, we’re still left with more questions than answers when it comes to the lack of progress with…
