PASADENA – I get it. You hate almost everything about modern college football.All the jarring conference realignment. The constant churn of the transfer portal. The wild, wild west that is this NIL landscape. You think it all stinks.But the College Football Playoff? This fully formed postseason tournament?

A tournament to decide a winner? Who would’ve thought such madness could succeed?Because coming into Wednesday’s 111th Rose Bowl – which was also…

EL SEGUNDO — The emergence of Derius Davis as a go-to target for quarterback Justin Herbert has had multiple benefits for the Chargers. After all, Davis isn’t just a punt and kickoff return specialist. He has caught touchdown passes in each of the past two games, the first two of his two-season career.Davis’ only other touchdown came on an 87-yard punt return during the Chargers’ victory Nov. 6, 2023 against the New York Jets, a sprint that propelled the team to a 27-6 blowout victory. He retained his job returning punts and kicks under a new coaching staff.But his role…
