College football analyst Kirk Herbstreit is highly suspicious of players who claim to be injured just when it appears their opponent is trying to play a little faster on offense. Herbstreit called such injuries “unethical as hell” and “pathetic” during Tennessee’s win against Oklahoma on Saturday night.

Kirk Herbstreit likes what he sees so far from Tennessee, and he gave his evaluation after the Volunteers took down Oklahoma in Norman.

Jeremiah Smith has made a remarkable start to his college football career as a wide receiver for the Ohio State Buckeyes, showcasing his exceptional talents as the top-ranked overall player in the 2024 class.

College football does not have that problem. The best analyst in the game, a former starting but still relatively anonymous Ohio State quarterback, will be on the ESPN call for most of the big games along the way and when the first 12-team College Football Playoff crowns a champion on Jan.

The Sun Devils are 3-0 on the season, ahead of its Big 12 opener against Texas Tech, and national analysts are starting to take notice.

ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit doesn't sound off on college football programs in scathing rants very often, so when he does, it speaks volumes. Saturday night, Tennessee took on Oklahoma in an early-season SEC contest.

However, rarely has the practice been targeted directly as it was during Tennessee and Oklahoma's game Saturday. In the game's first quarter, Sooners defensive lineman Da'Jon Terry appeared to go down with an injury.
