FRISCO, Texas - North Dakota State and South Dakota State will meet in the Football Championship Subdivision title game Sunday for the first time. The matchup seemed inevitable for the last few seasons, moreso in the last year since fellow FCS heavweights James Madison and Sam Houston left for the more interesting pastures of the higher Football…

The 23rd-ranked Charleston Cougars look for their 14th consecutive win when they take on the North Carolina A&T Aggies in a Colonial Athletic Association matchup on Wednesday. The Cougars (14-1, 2-0), who are 4-1 on the road, are coming off a 76-74 overtime win at Towson on Saturday. Charleston's only loss this season was a 102-86 setback at…

What looms as a critically important offseason for Monmouth football began Wednesday, as the Hawks announced an incoming class of 21 players as part of the NCAA's early signing period. And with the departure of All-American quarterback Tony Muskett, who transferred to Virginia, it's no surprise that there are two quarterbacks among the…

The odds appear to be stacked against unseeded Delaware when the Blue Hens travel west to face top-seeded South Dakota State in the Championship Subdivision playoffs this weekend. Just over 18 months ago, when the pandemic pushed the FCS season into the spring, Delaware made the same trip in the national semifinals and was beaten 33-3. This time,…

For the first time in 12 years, a University of Delaware football season ended in December. That was certainly a sign of progress for the Blue Hens under first-year coach Ryan Carty, the ex-Delaware quarterback. But an 8-5 record - also the Hens' winningest in a dozen years - contained a vast concoction of highlights, such as the season-opening win…

The underdog role is one the 2022 Gardner-Webb football team has long embraced. "We make sure our guys have that type of mentality," said Gardner-Webb running back Narii Gaither. "Because of that, we know that whatever happens during the course of a football game, we're going to continue to fight until there's all zeroes on the clock." A week after…

Seton Hall is a 19-point favorite over Monmouth in the college basketball season opener for both at 8 pm ET on FS1. The Pirates were 21-11 last season but lost their last three and six of their last eight. They fell to No. 9 seed TCU in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Monmouth has joined the Colonial Athletic Association after playing the…

The nation's top-ranked team makes it 2022-23 debut as #1 North Carolina hosts UNC-Wilmington at 9 p.m. ET Monday in the season opener for both squads at the Dean E. Smith Center in Chapel Hill. North Carolina had a 29-10 record last season and reached the national championship game where it lost to Kansas. UNC-Wilmington was 27-9 and won the…

The season started with a loss at New Hampshire in which Monmouth led with less than seven minutes to play on the road against the team that currently tops the Colonial Athletic Association standings. And a week later it was Fordham, ranked 17th in this week's Coaches FCS Top-25 Poll, scoring with 56 seconds left to beat the Hawks. But since those…

Simple Minds released the song in 1985. "Don't you, forget about me…Don't, don't, don't, don't..Don't you, forget about me…" The song certainly seems to be about love. But maybe it applies to football too. Here's how: Pennsylvania's college football landscape is dominated by the big-name schools. Penn State. Pitt. Temple. But betting lines are…

Drexel seems to have a knack for being the in-betweener. As a member of the City 6 - the informal competition between all of Philadelphia's Division I schools and their athletic teams - the Dragons play their hoops in a city full of rich basketball history, yet they feel a bit on the outside looking in. They are the outsider compared to the more…

The WVU Mountaineers surprisingly fell to Kansas in their home opener last weekend. They now turn their attention to this Saturday's matchup, when they host the Towson Tigers. Interestingly enough, West Virginia sportsbooks don't feature any odds for the potentially lopsided tilt just yet. It seems certain that WVU will have its way with Towson,…

It's the toughest schedule from top-to-bottom Monmouth's ever been faced, and it got off to a rocky start with a mistake-filled loss at New Hampshire in the Hawks' first-ever Colonial Athletic Association game last Thursday. What Monmouth must do this season is take care of business at the Jersey Shore. And that begins with Saturday's home opener…

The college football season has kicked off, and the University at Albany has a tall order in its opener on Saturday. The Great Danes are heading to Waco, Texas to face No. 10 Baylor, the reigning Big 12 champion, before a home game against Colonial Athletic Association foe New Hampshire Sept. 10. Head coach Greg Gattuso is entering his ninth season…
