So the kickoff times in this might not exactly be accurate...

Per sources: UCLA is "moving in the right direction" toward a contract extension with first-year coach Bob Chesney. Original contract was five years for just under $34 million. Not finalized yet. Initial reporting on the subject from @BruceFeldmanCFB and @IraGorawara.

Northwestern faces a tall task this weekend in Columbus against No. 20 Ohio State with Nicco Marchiol back behind center. There’s one clear area of improvement for the offense: third down passing situations. From this week’s Bleav in Northwestern podcast with @BleavinBuckeyes:

The loss of my friend, Dan Hicks is one of the darkest days of my life. He was so much more than my partner for 8 Olympic Games…he was the greatest friend a guy could ever have. As hard of a loss as it is for me and so many in the NBC family, my thoughts, energy, and prayers are with Hannah and his wonderful daughters. I miss you so much, Danny. God speed. 💔💔

Thanks to Zach for having me on to vent about special teams and not blitzing
New Bleav in Northwestern podcast! 🚨🏈 Unpacking the complete dud vs. Iowa with @M_Shelton33. Questioning the defensive approach, lamenting another special teams lapse (and why a change is needed) and why Nicco Marchiol was far from the biggest problem: youtu.be/Q4FT2wDox_s

Column: The South end zone at Notre Dame Stadium is where Miami dreams go to die, at the meddling hands of Irish defensive backs. On a classic game that felt a whole lot like 1988: bit.ly/3WyO3av

Plenty to say about Northwestern’s loss in the next couple of days. Disappointing that the team didn’t play its best in the key moments. But far more discouraging to see coaching that didn’t give the offense a chance on early 4th downs and hasn’t improved kickoff coverage
