To me Cignetti is the Kyle Whittingham of the B1G (of course that changes next season). Like Whittingham, Cig is a tough competitor and coach. His teams are disciplined, well-coached and seem to be pretty solid as human beings. I always liked Whittingham in the PAC 12 and rooted for Utah when not playing the Ducks. I’ll probably do the same for Indiana, but highly unlikely to do that for Michigan

Ohio State transfer CB Aaron Scott Jr. looking to visit OregonFortunately for the Ducks, 247 Sports' Tom Loy has reported that Ohio State transfer cornerback Aaron Scott Jr. is looking to visit Oregon in the near future. The former Buckeye is currently on a visit to Wisconsin and is also looking to visit LSU

My really healthy 29 year old had influenza recently and it took more than a week to recover. He doesn't have IV treatments but still, if it was"flu" or even norovirus Noah's not going to be able to perform as he typically does.

THI$ helps Cig's cau$e - YardbarkerMark Cuban continues to throw money at the Indiana HoosiersNotably, Indiana is already one of the biggest winners in this transfer portal cycle. The Hoosiers might have Cuban to thank for that.

For 3 straight years in college football, the title will be won by the Big 10. Michigan - Ohio State - and now, Oregon (oh please, oh please, oh please). "Through 14 games, the Ducks have been successful 14 times on 30 fourth-down attempts. In contrast, Indiana has converted eight of 16 attempts through 14 games." What impresses me most about Indiana's 4th down numbers is that they only had to go for it -- or chose to go for it, on 4th down 16 times. Having to live, or rely, on 4th downs to survive is very risky business.

I want OBD to put out that Cig! But with the turnaround of CFB's losingest program, Cig deserves the love. https://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/these_stats_point_to_hc_curt_cignettis_brilliance_at_indiana/s1_13132_43301061?utm_source=mb&utm_medium=email&mb_edition=20260108&mb_loc=right_h

Great article. Reminds me a little bit of Moneyball, except now, Indiana also has the money... but they didn't when Cignetti arrived. "In 15 years as a head coach, he has never once signed a five-star recruit." That's just incredible. I'm expecting Our Beloved Ducks to win tonight. "I hate losing, I hate it. I hate losing more than I even wanna win." - Billy Beane, Moneyball But if the absolutely unacceptable happened and I had to lose to somebody, I'm afraid to say that my only acceptable choice would be Indiana. It's just too good of a story. 10-1 Michael Lewis is already writing Moneyball - Part II (or Hoosiers Part II). But damn... after 52 years of loving our Ducks, I want this game so bad that I'm semi-afraid to watch the game tonight.

SEC Network's Jordan Rodgers: The B1G is better than the SEC. Personally, I think it's close and varies program by program. But one thing that needs to be addressed is the voters, including the PO Committee's top-to-bottom love of the SEC conference. The six Big Ten teams that did not win six games in 2025 were not good football teams. The six SEC teams that did not win six games in 2025 were not good football teams. Consistently top 25-ranked Tennessee and Missouri did not defeat a P4 team that finished with a winning record. Highly touted A&M did not defeat an SEC opponent that finished with a winning record. That OBD could and in some quarters should have been out of the PO with a second Big Ten loss was frustrating and absurd. The on-field results this season IMO, support Tony Petitti's automatic qualifier PO format.

Indiana does not have even one five star recruit. This Wall Street Journal article is unlocked. It appears to be behind a paywall but it is not. https://www.wsj.com/sports/football/indiana-curt-cignetti-353afd29?st=JMdh26&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

To me the key to this game is Defense, hold them to 16 points or less and we will win --if not????

DUCKS WIN! 28-21 one two 292 yards

Dakorien Moore. If he is healthy, we need to hear his name a lot tonight.

DAK has to show up in a big way and Dante has to throw downfield. Oregon 31-24 1 BIG turnover 3 sacks 315 passing yards

I certainly hope so, without him it would change our game plan at a very bad time.
