This is how you respond in a conference opener after an unforeseen bye week After being slowed down by an unscheduled bye week due to Hurricane Florence, Will Grier’s Heisman campaign got a huge shot in the arm as the West Virginia Mountaineers dominated the Kansas State Wildcats to a final score of 35-6. Grier got off to what, I guess, could be considered a rocky start early, throwing an interception on West Virginia’s first drive of the game because of some miscommunication with wide receiver Marcus Simms on a deep pass. It wasn’t until West Virginia’s third drive of the game...

Sitting at 0-2, the local fans are bumming, confidence in the team’s general manager is at an all-time low, and another loss would essentially bury any hopes of playoffs and it’s not even October yet. Unfortunately for Matt Patricia and the Lions, the New England Patriots are in town, and Tom Brady is not happy. New England looked like a shell of themselves last week, as the Jacksonville...

When the Vikings moved back downtown after two seasons as guests at TCF Bank Stadium, they sought to blend modern comforts at U.S. Bank Stadium with the kind of jarring environment they’d created for opponents at the Metrodome. Eighteen games into their tenure at their new facility, they appear to be succeeding. The Vikings, who play host to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, are 14-4 at U.S. Bank Stadium, counting last January’s playoff win over the Saints. Their .778 winning percentage at home is the third-best in the NFL during that time, behind the Eagles (.842) and Patriots (.810). Since...
