The scoreboard, not the ballot box, will determine Saturday’s matchup between Delaware and James Madison.

A chaotic week around college football gives heightened stakes to Saturday’s rivalry matchup between James Madison and Richmond.

Because Dartmouth and New Hampshire are the only Div-I football programs in the state of New Hampshire, and are separated by less than a two-hour drive, you might assume the Big Green and Wildcats play each other every year. That would be an incorrect assumption.

The top half of the Gulf South Conference used Week 6 to create separation from the bottom half, and the emphatic results make for a Week 7 with high stakes.

Towson traveled across the country its last time out, completing a first month that Tigers coach Rob Ambrose called “a meat grinder” against nationally ranked FBS opponent San Diego State.

The University of Massachusetts football program has lost 16 games in a row. Connecticut has lost its last 10 games, and 30 of its last 31 outings against FBS opponents.

The 2021 football season didn’t start the way DeMatha High School (Hyattsville, Md.) hoped it would.

New Hampshire was roughed up by Pittsburgh 77-7 last weekend, and the task won’t be much easier for the Wildcats when they face third-ranked James Madison during Homecoming Weekend on Saturday.

An unfortunate reality of thrilling football games dictates that for a team to win, another has to lose. Elon and Richmond both ended up on the wrong side of this reality in their respective Colonial Athletic Association openers, with the Phoenix’s rally from down 21 points to William & Mary falling just short; and Richmond exchanging big leads with Villanova in a wild Week 3 contest.

From unranked to start the season to the top 15 of the poll, both West Alabama and West Georgia have made emphatic statements to start the 2021 season.

Perhaps the most interesting question entering Saturday’s Colonial Athletic Association matchup between Albany and Delaware is this: Who will start at quarterback for the eighth-ranked Blue Hens?

The last two Colonial Athletic Association teams to begin their conference schedules meet in Week 4, with each bringing a contrasting style.

Following its historic first game on campus, reigning national champion West Florida heads to Texas for a rematch of the 2017 National Championship Game.

The two highest-ranked high school football teams in Maryland will be looking at each other from opposite sidelines Friday night, when St. Frances Academy (Baltimore) travels to Good Counsel (Olney).

Although quarterback Chris Ferguson is in his first season with the Towson football program, he’s no stranger to New Hampshire.
