Pitt beat Penn State, Utah held off BYU after 87 million combined turnovers, Arkansas beat a ranked TCU team in 2OTs, UConn lost to Navy,  […]

    Group of 5 season preview

    Oh, August. When optimism is high, and all fan bases, big and small, are free to dream big – conference trophies, bowl berths, and even possibly getting in the playoff and winning the biggest prize.
