5 Keys: Ask For A Wake-Up Call😁!

Playing a safety up closer to the box, (in the middle) allows Dillion Thieneman to crash in run-support, and yet help out in the mid-zones in pass defense. It makes sense against a run-heavy B1G conference, and we had it implemented on us in the Rose Bowl...so we know it works! It morphs into a Tampa-2 kind of defense for passes, but I think it takes a very savvy safety, (such as Dillon) to make this work. Although...I believe Kingston Lopa was playing this spot in relief, and he sure brought the wood on some running plays. Thanks for pointing this our Eric, and we look forward to more of your thoughts on this and other elements of the team! Kingston Lopa

What is remarkable to me is how nearly two-thirds of the conference only have recruits travel only a third or half as much. We have a tall disadvantage to overcome, as prior coaches knew, but Lanning and his staff overcome these barriers.

Five keys to the game: No. 4 Oregon at Northwestern Here are five keys to ensure No. 4 Oregon exits Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium with a 3-0 record on Saturday.

Good thing we play Northwestern week 3. Could you imagine playing them in November with gale like winds coming off the lake? Ughh

The fascinating question ahead of Oregon game 3Autzen ZooThe fascinating question ahead of Oregon game 3Max Torres of On3 Sports asked it first, but it's on everybody's mind.

One of the things I think is most telling isn't just that Oregon will go anywhere to get guys, which they will. The State of Oregon doesn't have much talent but the Ducks do put their own fence up around the state and do take whatever top talent the state produces though often as walk-ons now (Which is crazy!). Washington and California both have bigger talent pools and Oregon happily raids both now but between the three west coast states there isn't enough talent to win a national championship. So going elsewhere is required. And this little chart is telling because the last two National Champions, Ohio State and Michigan, are both exceeding 700 miles. Both are far more centrally located within the country, as Oregon is on the far left coast, but Ohio State and Michigan know there isn't enough talent in their backyards to win it all and have to go elsewhere. Oregon is frequently competing with both of those schools for recruits and the fact that we are winning on the recruiting trail means Lanning is doing it right.

Have to give our DL credit for allowing us to have different personnel packages at DB. Take a great athlete, and use their intelligence, and abilities, to wreak havoc. I will go back a few years and say a player like Troy Dye would probably have excelled in the position. A thorough knowledge of the opposing offense, good sideline to sideline speed, great tackler, and was a cruise missile coming up to stop the run.

A lot of you have probably seen that Oregon has implemented a new — to them — defensive position this year. I’ve heard it called a Rover, and I’m sure Oregon has their own name for it, but it is a third safety playing as a deep middle linebacker. It’s a Jim Knowles staple. Probably something Oregon picked up on last season, and something they may see in a couple of weeks.

How would you like this kind of cross-town friend? 🤬 https://trojanswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2025/09/12/roundtable-panel-discusses-badly-tennessee-blow-out-ucla-football/86087428007/?utm_source=smg-trojanswire-strada&utm_medium=email&u

Two stats of interest. Northwestern surrendered 269 rush yards to Tulane and is 122nd in the country in rush yards surrendered. USC at Purdue - SC has not won a game in the Eastern time zone since 2012, and is 0 for the Eastern time zone since joining the B1G. Change flight attendants? 😁

Thank you, Charles, for hosting the contest! OBD 56-10 NW TOs - 3 Sacks - 3 Pass - 250

I think Ohio State and Michigan have the two largest living alumni base in the country. I see people representing those schools nationwide and even overseas. Alabama has a large rabid fan base, but they aren't as big outside of their region. That is true for most of the SEC. You are absolutely right that Notre Dame is different. They have a mystique due to the fact they were the first program to have weekly national television exposure. There are cultural reasons for their popularity as well, I get all that. But to me one of the reasons they are that unicorn is because they've never been in a group. They are really one of a kind in that regard. Notre Dame isn't known as a school in Indiana, they are Notre Dame. Texas, Ohio State and Michigan are huge, but they represent a region and a state. BYU is the closest to Notre Dame, but they didn't have the benefit of NBC. The B1G without Ohio State and Michigan wouldn't be the same. When you think of the B1G you think of those two first. But Ohio State became wha they are because of the B1G. The Rose Bowl, the games with Michigan to determine who got the right to go to the Rose Bowl. It's symbiotic. Ohio State and the B1G are on another level than FSU and the ACC. They shouldn't sink to the level FSU did, it's bush league imo.

Great post, Charles, thank you. Oregon makes up for its (beautiful, no doubt) location by having an aligned and energetic recruiting operation—this and the money invested in recruiting. Oregon is doing this notwithstanding being a half-share Big Ten partner through 2030. As many others have asked over the years, what are Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue, and Nebraska (!), for example, doing with all of the Big Ten money? I ask, why does an 18-team Big Ten with the revenue the conference is bringing in and shared equally across the board, have but five Blue Chip Roster teams? (I give small private school with sterling academics, Northwestern, a pass. Especially, a portal pass.) Many B1G members with the same revenue share are not spending the money to compete in the conference and on the national stage. If the PO committee has a metric that gives appropriate weight to the strength of schedule, no more G5 teams ranked 9th in the nation please, conference performance top to bottom will matter. G6 Tulane put up 269 rush yards against Northwestern. Once every 30 to 40 seasons, the Willdcats will rise up and play terrific football. But that's it. I get the populist appeal of every member team receiving the same slice of revenue. But IMO this should be conditioned on every member investing an agreed-upon minimum for football and men's basketball. Otherwise, why should the top spending teams that produce positive results share with those unwilling to spend the money? Mississippi State just defeated ASU. Vandy blew out VA Tech on the road. (OK, I hear you. Florida did lose to USF 😁.) Could the bottom third of the B1G win these games? As Dan Lanning said, Oregon spends money to win! Oregon's partners should do the same or IMO, be treated like junior partners. Going the extra mile is paying off for OBD.
