It’s been a big day in college football with the Brendan Sorsby eligibility conversation so Todd Blackledge and I had to go LIVE on YouTube to have a thoughtful conversation around his case. We also dive into the Big Ten
Bret Bielema has been in the room 18 times as a head coach in the two biggest conferences in the game. This year, the room was Big Ten spring meetings in Southern California. Head coaches, athletic directors, commissione
College football has changed forever. Not just because athletes can now earn money, but because 18, 19 and 20-year-olds are suddenly being asked to make decisions that most adults still struggle to navigate. That’s why t
There’s something refreshing about watching a quarterback bet on loyalty in an era built on movement. That’s what stood out most to me after sitting down with Noah Fifita on the latest episode of Y-Option: College Footba
While no one is practicing this week in major college football Todd Blackledge and I sat down to reflect on our Road Trip this past spring in the Big Ten. In today’s Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth podcast we e
I’ve known Jedd Fisch for a long time. So long that when I walked into his building this spring, I didn’t just see a head coach in year three — I saw the same guy from 2019 sitting outside his home in Hermosa Beach, pull
I’ve known Dan Lanning for 15 years. We’ve had a lot of conversations over that time. So going into this one, I didn’t want to hit the same notes, didn’t want to discuss the topics we’ve covered before and hoped to stick
In the summer of 1999 my Dad and I drove from Pennsylvania to Indiana, stopping at almost every college along the way. The goal we spoke of on those highways: find a place to play college football. The goal we never spok
Draft week always carries a certain energy. You feel it in conversations, in locker rooms, in the quiet moments between reps. It’s the anticipation of what’s next. For some, it’s the culmination of a lifelong dream. For
Years ago my Dad and I walked the Camino de Santiago, one of the worlds most spiritual pilgrimages stretching across Portugal and Spain. Somewhere along that journey, he shared a line that has stayed with me ever since:
Talking to quarterbacks and those that help build them is one of my passions. And today’s conversation on Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a deep dive into that position with Seth Wickersham. Seth wrote the b
There are a handful of conversations each year that stay with me. Today’s conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais is one of them. I’m excited to share it with you while we’re on spring break in Japan as a family. And to th
Last week a clip of USC practicing in 2008 went viral and a few friends sent it to me. Watching it brought me right back. Every rep felt like your position was on the line. Every drill had juice. And what stood out most
Spring football always tells you something if you’re willing to listen. I found myself in Lincoln, Nebraska for a quick trip to learn about this years team. I flew in at 5am, got a great cup of coffee at The Mill Coffee

One of my college roommates is heading to Canton. That sentence still feels surreal. When I first met Larry Fitzgerald on his visit to the University of Pittsburgh, I had no idea I was meeting a future Hall of Famer. I j
The offseason is when football gets quiet enough to actually see it. In my recent Substack collaboration with Cody Alexander of Match Quarters, we didn’t just talk trends — we talked about the hidden language of defense,
There’s a certain kind of coach you can spot from a mile away. Not because of the headset or the scheme or the postgame soundbite. But because of the energy — the tone in the building, the way his players talk about the
College football doesn’t really end anymore. The clock hits :00. The trophy gets handed out. And almost immediately, the sport gets loud again. Portal moves, litigation, coaching changes, CFP debates and more. Oh, and by
The season may be over, but moments like the one in Miami linger because they tell us something deeper about the game. Fresh off the National Championship, I connected with the Big Ten Network’s Howard Griffith on the la
