How to buy ECU vs. NC State NCAA college football tickets
College football is almost back, and with it, some of the top rivalries. It's one of the things that makes the NCAA so fun to watch. The rivalries are kicking off early with East Carolina vs. NC State. The Wolfpack didn't have a great 2024-25 bid, finishing in 10th place in the ACC. East Carolina performed slightly better, coming in fifth in the AAC. But they ended up facing each other in the Military Bowl, where the Pirates came out on top. We'll get to see the rematch at the start of the season.

2025 Virginia Tech Football Predictions: Hokies Ranked 57th in RJ Young's Ultimate 136
College Football 2025 Virginia Tech Football Predictions: Hokies Ranked 57th in RJ Young's Ultimate 136 Published Aug. 10, 2025 8:49 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link This isn't your average college football ranking. My Ultimate 136 is a set of rankings that is fluid, but it's my job to look ahead and make a claim for all FBS teams based on what I know and why I know it. Here are the three pressing questions I started by asking when putting together this list: Who do I think is good? Why do I think they're good? What are the chances they will finish above or below my expectations? Here is a look at where Virginia Tech lands in my Ultimate 136. Team ranking: 57 Last year's ranking: 58 Top player: QB Kyron Drones: Rushed for 176 yards in the 2023 Military Bowl, setting a school record; last season he became the first player in VT history to record a pass, rushing, and receiving TD all in the same game. [Virginia Tech's 2025 schedule] RJ's take: It's been simple to write off the Hokies in the Brent Pry era because they haven't beaten any of their non-conference Power 4 foes — 0-6. Rutgers made its Big Ten bones with back-to-back wins against Virginia Tech the last two years, which corresponded with the first set of back-to-back winning seasons Rutgers has enjoyed in the B1G. ADVERTISEMENT And Virginia Tech is just 10-13 in the ACC since 2022. But they've been close losses too. Five of their losses came by one score in 2024. Pry needs a second winning season in four years, or this could be his last. Virginia Tech Win Total Odds: Over 4.5 (+118) Under 4.5 (-144) Have an issue with my rankings? Think your alma mater is too low, or your school's rival is too high? Get at me on X, @RJ_Young , and I'll select my favorite tweets and respond to them in a future article.

30 key Miami Hurricanes for 2025 season: Kamal Bonner fortifies linebacker corps
The Miami Hurricanes kick off the 2025 season on Aug. 31 with a marquee matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Hard Rock Stadium (7:30 p.m., ABC). With the calendar officially flipped to August, the Miami Herald is counting down 30 of the most important players on the Hurricanes' roster, one per day leading up to the season opener, to provide a closer look at the team heading into coach Mario Cristobal's fourth season. Today: The No. 29 player on our list, Kamal Bonner. Position: Linebacker Hometown: Moultrie, Georgia Year: Redshirt sophomore How he got to Miami: 2025 transfer (N.C. State) Key stats: 56 tackles, 7 tackles for loss in 2024 In summary: Bonner went from getting spot playing time to begin last season to a full-time starter over the second half of the season at N.C. State. He started the final seven games — six against Atlantic Coast Conference opponents and then against East Carolina in the Military Bowl — as the Wolfpack's strong side linebacker, recording at least six tackles in each of those games and being involved in tackles for loss in six of the seven games. Bonner figures to get significant playing time for Miami along with veterans Wesley Bissainthe and Mohamed Toure. 'We all bring experience. Kamal Bonner from NC State, man, I feel like he's great. He's fast, he's physical.' - linebacker Wesley Bissainthe 'Being in the ACC, I saw a team that played very fast and physical all the time. And I feel like the way Coach Cristobal coaches these guys, he'll make you a believer.' - Bonner on what appealed to him about the Hurricanes No. 30: Running back CharMar Brown

UNC's all-time passing yards, TD leader named Top 25 true freshman since 2000
Just how good was Sam Howell's 2019 season at UNC? It's extremely difficult to be a freshman in any sport, regardless of whether you're playing college football or high school basketball. One freshman who had no issue stepping into the spotlight is Sam Howell, who left UNC as its all-time leader in career passing yards and touchdowns. Howell started all 13 games during his 2019 freshman season at North Carolina, which ended in a 55-13 thumping of Temple in the Military Bowl. With 3,641 passing yards and 38 touchdowns, it came as no surprise when Howell won ACC Rookie of the Year honors. Not only was Howell's true freshman season the best-ever amongst Tar Heel quarterbacks, but one of the best since 2000. In CBS Sports' "Top 25 True Freshman of the Century" rankings, Howell slotted in at 19th. "Howell helped begin Mack Brown's second stint in Chapel Hill with a bang," Chris Hummer wrote. "He threw for 3,641 yards and an ACC-best 38 touchdowns against just seven interceptions, helping the Tar Heels improve by five wins compared to a 2-9 effort during the 2018 campaign under Larry Fedora. The only true freshman quarterback with a better statistical debut than Howell is the No. 1 player on this list." Howell played sparingly during his 2022 rookie NFL season, then took over as the Washington Commanders' starter in 2023. Howell backed up Geno Smith on the Seattle Seahawks in 2024 – and will now do the same to J.J. McCarthy on the Minnesota Vikings.
