Miami looks to win their first national title since 2001, while Indiana looks to win their first ever national title. No matter the result tonight, we will see a champion we haven’t seen in at least a quarter-century.

Former Saints RB is on his way to the UFL

When the New Orleans Saints faced 53-man roster cuts, one of the hardest positions to predict was the RB room. The Saints had a decent group throughout training camp, and with some talent sprinkled throughout, the deeper part of the group was going to be a tight battle.
