Firing Gundy like this is really low-class act by that OSU - the guy has been there for 20 mostly good years! He is hardly the biggest reason for the program's failure. They need more NIL money! I don't think changing the HC will change that dynamic. Same exact situation at the Rodents. They only way they can be competitive is to move to FCS! I hope WS waits till the end of the season to make a move. The openings right now are pretty unimpressive. Besides the money, why would he move now?

Football: Penn State Q & A Getting to know Saturday’s opponent for the big game The game we have all had our calendars circled for is finally here. To help get ready for this week we have done a Q&A exchange with our friend Brian from Penn State sister site at Black Shoe Diaries. Brian organized a Q&A exchange for last year’s Big Ten Championship game and had nothing but good things to say about interacting with Duck fans. Find my answers to his questions will be posted on Black Shoe Diaries on Friday. Addicted To QuackFootball: Penn State Q & AGetting to know Saturday’s opponent for the big game

What Oregon Coach Dan Lanning Did at Practice to Prepare for Penn State White Out The No. 6 Oregon Ducks will face off against the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday, Sept. 27. Ahead of the game, Oregon coach Dan Lanning revealed how he is preparing for Penn State's hostile environment. Oregon Ducks On SIWhat Oregon Coach Dan Lanning Did at Practice to Prepare...The No. 6 Oregon Ducks will face off against the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday, Sept. 27, for a top-10 matchup. Not only will the game be a rematch

He'd certainly be on a hot seat right now with his loss last week. But getting absolutely embarrassingly demolished by Oregon in week 2 probably did him in before the more recent loss. Oregon didn't truly break Jimmy Lake either... But it is amusing to make a list of coaches who played Oregon and then were fired before the end of the season.

I'm anticipating Davidson and Hill to get a LOT more reps as the year goes on. They are making some pretty good leaps in their abilities. Other interesting note... Riggs had some good runs in garbage time with a two back set up and Davidson was a blocking back. That wasn't the first time we saw a two back formation as earlier in the season we saw a couple different ball carriers get a carry with Limar acting as a runningback blocker. I will be keeping an eye on any two Runningback formations.

why would he want UCLA?? it's as big of a mess as Ok State

Now I know that Noah has been hurt, but our running backs are very average. An Oregon offense should have a killer RB, to make it that much harder for the defense. Imagine if we had a Reuben Droughns right now, or a LaMichael James? We would go crazy on offense... What we have are suitable, but nobody has really stood out...until this last game. We know that Jordon Davison is nails inside the five yard line, and his blocking on pass protection has improved...but he had a couple of ten yard runs that gave me great optimism going forward. He had some shimmy, and great vision to make a four yard gain go ten yards, and we did not see that before. Since he did it twice--he is learning at game speed. He had the second-most snaps at RB this last game, and I wonder if he will break out and take the spot?

Oregon didn't break Mike Gundy. Mike Gundy and/or OSU's refusal to recognize the new reality of NIL broke him....btw He's a man, he's 58.

Coaches Oregon broke.... Jimmy Lake Mike Gundy Trent Bray??? Wel'll have to see.

He's a man, he's 86ed!

Hard to imagine WS not taking UCLA over Okie.

Thank you for the stats on this. IMO, this shows that Penn St. isn't invulnerable in this environment, but the Ducks definitely have their work cut out for them.

Great post and topic! This will be the toughest that I can remember. I believe the Michigan / Tennessee matchups you mentioned earlier could be considered on par in terms of stadium capacity and number of fans, but the mystique about the "White Out"--plus the ranking of both teams--puts it over the top for me. I personally think the outcome of the game is irrelevant to the environment. The environment is the environment until you overcome it, or succumb to it. So excited (and nervous) for this game!

Oregon Ducks' Big Ten, National Championship Chances Shift Before Penn State Game The Oregon Ducks and Penn State Nittany Lions prepare for a top 10 matchup against the Penn State Nittany Lions in week 5.

He made it to Tuesday. I guess it took a little bit to get all the ducks in a row. Ducks are certainly a problem for OkieSU..

Oregon to continue to lean into its 'strength in numbers' as Top 10 matchup looms Oregon coach Dan Lanning said on Monday that the Ducks will continue to rotate and play a large number of players in this week's game with No 2 Penn State.

Do you guys realize why PAC12 after dark games always were crazy is because strange things happen when you are playing your heart out physically around your usual bedtime. Mental and emotional regulation drops. These players don't have the luxury of staying up late like most students. To physically recovery at a elite level requires a good night sleep. Like 8.5 hours plus, and with full schedules they can't sleep in, so they have to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Oregon doesn't have to adjust to the new time zone. Go in your hotel room after sunset and stay up until your usual time. Let 7:30 feel like 4:30 for the game start, and then you don't have any reverse jet lag on the way back.

Oregon ever played that far east at night? Last season the Ducks kickoff at Purdue was 8:00 pm local. This week Penn State is 7:30 pm local. Both are in the Eastern Time Zone. Though PSU is approx 500 miles east of Purdue. Longest surface travel trip? Miami, likely followed by a game at Army, as the two longest trips. Both games in the afternoon. Miami was a 2-0 loss. Yes, a safety. Army was a 22-22 tie. Ducks at Maryland in 2027, and back to Penn St in 2028.
