Whittingham says he's not worried about noise, only the task at hand at Michigan

ANN ARBOR – Maybe he’s heard the noise, maybe hasn’t. That's inconsequential to Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham, whose offense his first season at Michigan is in such shambles, he fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck on Sunday, Nov. 8. The Wolverines (5-4, 2-4) are coming off an ugly 15-6 loss to a Michigan State team badly riddled by injuries and winless in the Big Ten. After the Wolverines’ poor performance that included four turnovers, Beck was cut loose. Michigan now faces missing a bowl if the Wolverines don’t find a way to win one of their final three tough games, which starts at Oregon on Saturday, then unbeaten UCLA in the final-regular season game at Michigan Stadium and then at Ohio State. Whittingham, 66, was hired as Michigan head coach last December after being nudged out at Utah following 21 seasons in that role. Since the start of the season when the Wolverines were outplayed and outcoached by Western Michigan while still managing to win on a Hail Mary after a second was added, the offense has barely been able to get off the ground, special teams have been mediocre, and only the defense, now ranked No. 4 nationally, has

Hudson, Britton Deerfield look to keep playoff runs alive in crucial Week 12 matchups

Hudson and Springport met on the gridiron for the first time last season. By halftime, the Tigers knew they were regional champions. On Friday, for the second straight year, Hudson (10-1, 1st in LCAA) will host Springport (10-1, 1st in Big 8) at Thompson Field with a regional title on the line. Beckett Campbell stole the show last time around. The running back had a career night with 14 carries for 359 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Tigers to a 68-22 win over the Spartans as a sophomore. Campbell, now a junior, will lead Hudson once more against the Big 8 Conference champions. Springport retained momentum from its program-best 11-1 season in 2025. The Spartans ran the table with an undefeated 8-0 record in conference play. Their only loss this season came in Week 3, a 42-13 loss to top-ranked Beal City. Last season, Springport’s offense was led by senior quarterback Gibson Overweg. His younger brother, sophomore Rip Overweg, has since filled his shoes. Rip has led a Spartan offense that prides itself on running the ball and making high-percentage throws. Last week, he accounted for four total touchdowns in Springport’s 34-22 district final win over Decatur. “[Overweg]

"She Fills a Need That We Have": Geno Auriemma Secures Commitment After Michigan Loss as No. 9 Recruit Picks Huskies Over Five Rivals

The UConn Huskies have finally secured the commitment of one of the top 10 prospects in the high school Class of 2027. With Sydney Savoury now off the board, only three players from ESPN’s top 10 rankings remain uncommitted. And just as the Huskies managed to secure Savoury’s signature, Geno Auriemma will likely face stiff competition from other top programs looking to land the remaining elite prospects. For now, however, the legendary coach has every reason to celebrate his latest recruiting victory. Savoury verbally committed to UConn on November 6, 2026, before officially signing her letter...

Oregon availability report: Jordon Davison ruled out vs. Michigan

Another week, another season-ending injury for an Oregon Ducks star. Despite a massive win on the road against the Ohio State Buckeyes last weekend, the Ducks were dealt some tough news on the injury front, with senior defensive lineman Teitum Tuioti going down with a knee injury that will require surgery, ending his 2026 season in Eugene. On the positive side of things, we did see wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan return after breaking his foot in Week 3, but running back Jordon Davison was sidelined with his lower-body injury against Ohio State. So, where do things stand now as the Ducks prepare for a home game against the Michigan Wolverines? On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings, the Big Ten Conference will release the statuses of several players, with teams classifying them as out, doubtful, or questionable. A final availability report will then be released two hours prior to kickoff on Saturday. Here is a look at the first availability report for the Ducks and Buckeyes.
