Gophers’ loss to Purdue joins growing list of stinging defeats

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:44:29 GMT

Gophers football general manager Gerrit Chernoff stood at the southwest gate of Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday with a sense of urgency.After Minnesota players had grabbed their red-boxed dinners postgame and headed to the coach busses, staffers were quickly packing the tail ends of the gear for the trip home to Minneapolis.With Chernoff saying and gesturing “let’s go,” everyone with the Gophers was trying to get out of Dodge, err, West Lafayette, Ind., as soon as possible after a shocking 49-30 loss to Purdue.The problem: Despite how quickly the Gophers left Purdue on Saturday night, the loss to the Boilermakers will linger much longer.Minnesota has effectively squandered yet another chance to win the Big Ten West division this season, and unlike falling short in previous years, Minnesota will likely do so by multiple games this fall.The Gophers (5-5, 3-4 Big Ten) also added another category of loss to their expanding catalog: getting blown out by an opponent which spent most of the s...

Keeler: Deion Sanders, CU Buffs might not win another football game. Coach Prime was still perfect hire.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:44:29 GMT

BOULDER — Kenny Smith pulled a smartphone out of his pocket and scrolled for a miracle.“My daughter, who doesn’t follow college football, if you asked her, who did Denver play for the (NBA Finals) championship?” She might not know it was Miami,” the venerated basketball analyst and “Inside The NBA” stalwart told me last month as he searched for said daughter’s contact info.“But she called me last week and was like, ‘Man, I can’t believe Colorado was up 29-0 (against Stanford) and lost.’ Deion (Sanders) has a magnetism and gravity that I haven’t seen. … I have not seen it happen (like this). And for college sports and for college football, I think it’s the best thing that’s ever happened.”Coach Prime’s Buffs (4-6, 1-6 Pac-12) probably won’t win another tilt this season. The game management lacks. Handing your offensive play-calling to Pat Shurmur is the kind of Hail Mary ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:44:29 GMT

The Bills defense in 2023 has faced a torrent of injuries.Von Miller missed the beginning of the season. Defensive lineman DaQuan Jones is on injured reserve currently. Inside linebacker Matt Milano was lost for the year. So, too, was top cornerback Tre’Davious White.Through all of that, though, Buffalo’s defense has retained the ability to impact opposing quarterbacks.The Bills enter Monday night’s game against Denver sixth in the NFL in sack rate (8.3%) and seventh in total pressure rate (26.7%), and they’ve done it thanks to a seemingly endless supply of rushers.Miller is still working back into form through five games after a torn ACL ended his 2022 season; he has yet to record a sack after totaling eight last year. But the Bills also roll out Leonard Floyd (seven sacks), A.J. Epenesa (five), Greg Rousseau (three), Shaq Lawson (1.5) and others off the edge. On the inside, Ed Oliver is tied for second on the team with five sacks.“You try not to spook yourself out by watching too ...
