Iowa defensive back Koen Entringer could’ve given up.
After all, the redshirt freshman from Ypsilanti, Mich.’s play had gotten off to an inauspicious start. As the Hawkeyes punted to Michigan on fourth-and-7 with 1:46 left in the first quarter of the Big Ten championship, Entringer went to tackle Wolverines wide receiver Semaj Morgan and wiped out.
Collecting himself at the four-yard line, however, he gave intense chase to Morgan as the return man streaked across the open field.

The NFL’s Tush Push could be become illegal if commissioner Roger Goodell gets his wish, per to a report on Saturday by The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.
Jalen Hurts and the Eagles, who have made the play nearly unstoppable, may have to revert to old-school smash-mouth formations if a potential vote on the play goes in Goodell’s favor.
“Though it will all come down to the voting, the most important opinion about the play may come from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Alabama lobbed a wrench into the four-team playoff discussion with its win over Georgia on Saturday. That both teams could possibly miss out on the playoff this season is a result of the disastrous ‘Alliance.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ seemingly unstoppable short-yardage play the Tush Push — or Brotherly Shove — has been a hot-button issue all season as long as defenses across the league look for a way to stop it.
Well, according to a new report, they shouldn’t think too hard, because NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell may want to stop it for them.
The Athletic’s Diana Russini reported that the notorious play is expected to be discussed and heavily debated over the offseason by the competition committee.
It will be LAFC against the Columbus Crew on Dec. 9.
Can the defending champs snap Houston’s hot streak?
Jason Witten made his mark in football as an elite tight end, primarily for the Dallas Cowboys. Now, he’s making an impact as a high-school football coach in the Lone Star State.
Witten led Liberty Christian High School to a state championship on Friday night. The school from Argyle, TX, won the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) Division II title. In just his third season at the helm, Witten guided Liberty Christian to its first undefeated (14-0) season with the championship win. As tradition dictates, members of the team doused their coach with ice-cold water.
In no sport does the transitive property have as much sway as it does in college football. It’s an ancient tradition, dating as far back as a humorous 1936 attempt to crown Slippery Rock the national champion.
This year, however, the rules of logic in college football are under a historic level of scrutiny. Alabama’s 27–24 win over Georgia Saturday set up a potentially noxious debate about the meaning of the Crimson Tide’s September loss to Big 12 champion Texas (and by extension, the meaning of the Bulldogs’ loss to Alabama).
TCU beat Georgetown 84–83 at Capital One Arena in Washington in controversial fashion on Saturday.
Inbounding the ball under their own basket with only 2.7 seconds remaining, TCU guard Micah Peavy heaved a half-court pass to forward Emanuel Miller down the near sideline.
Miller caught the pass and banked home the incredible game-winning three-pointer as time expired.
Despite video review clearly showing that Peavy had stepped out of bounds prior to getting the winning shot off, officials were not able to overturn the shot because there was no call on the court.
In most years of the four-team College Football Playoff era, debates about the SEC focus on whether the powerhouse conference can get multiple teams into the field. Alabama and Georgia both made the Playoff—and reached the national championship—at the end of the 2017–18 and 2021–22 seasons.
That may very well happen again, with both teams sitting at 12–1 ahead of Sunday’s selection show after the Crimson Tide’s 27–24 win over the previously undefeated Bulldogs.
However, this final year of the four-team Playoff system is primed to bring more debate than ever before.
