Which college football teams feel hopeless at midseason? Wisconsin, UNC and more Some big-name coaches are on the hot seat. We looked at 10 teams deep in the darkness alongside Penn State.

Penn State took drastic measure to try and escape the darkness.

Two years ago, Ahmad Hardy was a zero-star recruit with one FBS offer.

Read this story, because David nearly passed out of exhaustion in the Clemson press box and that wasn’t even his last stop.

I was looking for the nearest cot in the second quarter

Six games in 5 days: What a college football road trip taught me about the state of the sport On college campuses and even cavernous, neutral-site venues, the sport remains a way of life, a through-line for its communities.

College football is in the midst of a rapid, unpredictable evolution.

I began my season driving to six games in five days in search of its soul.

Here’s what I found: www.nytimes.com/athletic/659...

Come along for the ride: 6 college football games in 5 days during Week 1 By my rough count, it’s about 1,300 miles and 20 hours by car. It'll be a lot. It'll be worth it.

I’m going to six college football games this weekend, starting tonight.

Come along for the ride.
