High tensions appeared to spill onto the field pregame before Kentucky took on Virginia Tech in Tuesday's Belk Bowl High tensions appeared to spill onto the field pregame before Kentucky took on Virginia Tech in Tuesday's Belk Bowl as ESPN's cameras appeared to show UK quarterback Lynn Bowden punching Virginia Tech defensive tackle DaShawn Crawford. Dick Gabriel, the sideline reporter for the UK Radio Network, also reported a punch had been thrown toward Bowden. No penalty or team discipline was assessed following the pregame incident. The incident comes just days after Bowden refused to discuss his opponent on multiple occasions during a Belk Bowl media event on Monday. “I ain’t talking about them, I ain’t talking about them," he said. Those comments seemingly stem from another incident from last Friday, when a video posted on social media appeared to show a small group of Virginia Tech players yelling obscenities at Kentucky players including Bowden, at ...

Donald Trump phoned LSU coach Ed Orgeron Monday, several sources told Sports Illustrated, presumably to congratulate him on his team’s 63–28 victory over the Sooners in the Peach Bowl. Ed Orgeron is used to receiving congratulatory messages and calls after any big win. That was the case again following LSU’s rout of Oklahoma in the CFP semifinal Saturday. However, one call stood out from the rest—it came from the president of the United States. Donald Trump phoned the Tigers third-year coach Monday, several sources told Sports Illustrated , presumably to congratulate him on his team’s 63–28 victory over the Sooners in the Peach Bowl. The win propelled No. 1 seed LSU (14–0) to the national championship game against No. 3 Clemson (14–0) on Jan. 13 in New Orleans. It is not clear if the president plans to attend the game. He appeared at the 2017 national championship game, when Alabama stormed back to beat Georgia in overtime. Details of the conversation between Orgeron and Trump re...

Big Ten officials supervisor Bill Carollo said a fumble return in Clemson-Ohio State should have stood as a touchdown. Two days after Clemson beat Ohio State 29–23 in the Fiesta Bowl , Big Ten supervisor of officials Bill Carollo weighed in on a controversial call that affected the Buckeyes. In the third quarter of the College Football Playoff semifinal game, officials ruled Clemson's Justyn Ross fumbled the ball when Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah hit him. OSU safety Jordan Fuller scooped it up and returned it for a touchdown to give the Buckeyes a slight 23–21 lead. However, the play was overturned and ruled an incompletion after it was reviewed by officials. SEC video review official Gerald Hodges initiated the video review. "I haven't talked to anybody who thought it was an incomplete pass," Carollo, who has over 30 years of officiating experience, told CBS Sports . "To reverse it, it has to be really obvious." Carollo said he spoke with Ohi...
