Written by SportMics — Sports Amplified   LINCOLN — If there’s one constant through Nebraska’s resurgent 2025 campaign, it’s this: the defense doesn’t just stop opponents — it scores on them.

Through six games, Sayin leads the nation with a completion percentage hovering at 78.9 percent, a figure that not only tops the Big Ten but places him in rare company among modern-era quarterbacks. In a sport increasingly defined by tempo, improvisation,…

The legendary Michigan State head coach, entering his 30th season at the helm, has taken a strategy this fall that’s raised eyebrows across college basketball: intentionally scheduling brutal exhibition games — and being fine with losing them. While most top-25 programs spend October cruising through tune-ups against Division II teams or NAIA schools, Izzo has stacked Michigan State’s preseason with heavy hitters like Cincinnati and St. John’s.…
