College football news: How Dan Lanning beat Nick Saban, Peyton Manning’s Joe Milton infatuation
By John Buhler
College football will be back in our lives sooner rather than later, but now is the time to sink our teeth into delicious news coming out about Dan Lanning, Nick Saban and even Peyton Manning!
From Dan Lanning to Peyton Manning, we’ve got your college football news covered today, aight.
Lanning is busy planning his second season at the helm of the Oregon Ducks, but we all know where he came from. Prior to flying into Eugene, he used to be Kirby Smart’s trusted defensive coordinator at Georgia. Smart held the same role for Saban at Alabama for years. So in a way, Saban’s coaching tree grandson played a massive part in slaying the dragon up in Indianapolis.
Between Lanning, Manning and Ohio State planning for global dominance, let’s college football!
College football news: No. 2 Ohio State shows those recruiting rankings who’s boss!
Once again, Ohio State is looking up at Georgia, and no one else! Second place is not a bad place to be, as No. 2 clearly works for the Buckeyes. With Ryan Day’s staff doing terrific work on the recruiting trails, the Buckeyes are now back to having the second-best recruiting class in the 2024 cycle, according to On3’s Industry Ranking. Just imagine if Dylan Raiola did not Commit to the G…
Peach Bowl jokes aside, this is actually fantastic for the Ohio State program. The Buckeyes may have lost the last two installments of The Game, and haven’t beaten Michigan since COVID, but they continue to be the most prolific recruiting program north of the Mason-Dixon Line. This is why we can never count out the Buckeyes as a serious national championship contender annually.
Frankly, until they beat The School Up North again, Ohio State will not be the team to beat in the Big Ten, even if the Buckeyes seemingly out-recruit everyone. We know that top-flight recruits want to come play for Day in Columbus, but a third straight loss to Michigan would be devastating. He would become 21st century John Cooper and would start to give off Texas Mack Brown vibes.
For now, we have no reason to say Ohio State will be anything worse than a top-six team annually.
