They are having some success running right at them right now.

This BYU OL is completely in over their head. Now they are playing desperate football because of it. This could get out of hand fast.

It really bothers me that wide receiver push offs are mostly ignored. Offenses have all the advantages in today’s game. No reason to give them another.

Well the official and the network worked very hard to ignore an obvious push off by the WR on the touchdown throw. After NTU/Tulane last night I'm highly sus there are some big thumbs on the scale for these playoff play-in games.

I agree that BYU has more to play for and I’m looking at the players, schemes and potential matchups. Texas Tech has some good players but no one that has wowed me. Their QB is mediocre.

It's odd: Texas Tech's reward for winning would be likely playing a warmed up Oregon after being off themselves for a few weeks. BYU gets a playoff spot if they win and are left out if they lose, so they have everything to play for. The TTU head coach is probably wondering how he can lose this game without getting punished too bad for it. If he pulls the starters after halftime nobody knows how the committee would handle that.

BYU 7, Texas Tech 0 BYU’s defense got a stop and their offense marched right down the field.

It’s early but I’d prefer to play Texas Tech over any of the other currently ranked top 4 teams. They are a good team but nothing special, IMO. Their QB may be the worst of any of the playoff teams (ranks #29 in QBR) and Texas Tech’s SOS is ranked 59. They may be a paper tiger.

I didn’t see a thread to discuss the Big 12 Championship Game between BYU and Texas Tech

It’s definitely not an upgrade over Franklin. This is what happens when you fire a coach mid-season without a plan and you think it’s 1994.

When the coordinators left, Dan Lanning talked to the media about his goals of helping everyone in the program to meet their goals and dreams - players and coaches. How is he helping his coaches if he doesn't promote from within if those coaches are ready? If these two guys are ready and don't get promoted, they will be hired elsewhere which means we lose some good position coaches, co-coordinators, and recruiters that already buy into the culture and Dan's expectations of them. What kind of return on investment does that give DL??? We all know about DL's little black book of people he would hire when the opportunity came. He has made some great hires that at the time many people questioned. Dan hasn't had to fire anyone, so I assume he is happy with who he has hired so far. Besides... the Ducks are winning!!! Dan is going to stick around as long as he keeps winning... and he is going to do whatever it takes to win... because he likes it here.

I always believe in promoting from within if I have well qualified people, but don’t hesitate to go outside when needed. Dan seems to be of the same mindset, thumbs up!

Lanning's made good hires and now all of a sudden he's blowing it? Agree. He's been spot on since he was hired as far as assistants goes. I fail to see how all of a sudden he's making two bad moves.

With the Tulane win, come on, Georgia, Texas Tech, and ... Ohio State? Yes, I want the Buckeyes to defeat Indiana, but not blow them out. 1. Ohio State - Rose Bowl/ 2. Georgia - Sugar Bowl/ 3. Texas Tech - Cotton Bowl 4. Indiana - Orange Bowl vs. OBD. With respect to a Tulane team that defeated Northwestern and will not be a pushover in Autzen, I want the Devil OBD knows, Mr. Hoosier, and incentivized to defeat instead of Texas Tech in Dallas. Plus, we get a preview of where OBD will be playing for a Natty. 😁 Yes, this would likely mean a semifinal game vs Ohio State in Atlanta. No semifinal opponent will be a pushover, and OBD will be incentivized to halt the Buckeyes' back-to-back title run.🤬 Go Red Raiders, Dawgs, and (yuck) buckeyes!

I trust Dan Lanning.

Thankfully, these picks were made using Pat McAfee's $. I did go 3 for 4, which makes you a lot of money in MLB. 😁 This Is Not A Tsunami Warning! 🤢 I think a Green Wave is headed for Eugene.

On the subject of new coach hires, what's your take on Sumrall? He certainly threw last night as Tulane handled North Texas and is on the way to the PO, and Eugene, I hope.

Question marks for the hire. Effect on Dante, who replaces him at QB coach, new co-coordinators, what type of O will we have, and who calls plays in the playoffs? 5 major questions after Oregon Ducks' hiring of Drew Mehringer at OC

A lot of different choices here, what say you? Oregon Ducks regular-season awards before College Football Playoff run

And when is the BIG question. This year's class is a DISASTER of epic proportions and recovery may last longer than his buyout.

Campbell has had some good seasons and some mediocre seasons. His head coaching record is more inconsistent than the guy Penn State just ran out of town. This year his team finished 8-4. That’s not bad but will probably put you on the bubble at Penn State. His 4-8 record in 2022 (his 7th season at ISU) will get you fired. I don’t see how this is an upgrade over James Franklin.

Oregon Fans Will Love What Tosh Lupoi Said About Dan LanningFormer Oregon Ducks defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi is the new coach of the Cal Bears. Lupoi returns home to the Bay Area after playing for the Bears from 2000-05. In his opening press conference, Lupoi didn't hold back on Oregon coach Dan Lanning and explained the process of leaving the Ducks. Lupoi's plan is to return to Eugene to game plan for the playoff while simultaneously build his staff with the Bears. Lupoi said that he had already interviewed three candidates for positions on his staff. However, Lupoi made is very clear that the Ducks in the playoff will not be pushed to the side. “Over my dead body would I be walking out on the young men in this organization, if given the choice. And so I’m gonna finish what we’ve started there," Lupoi said. “Ultimately, having this opportunity to go coach in the playoffs, yet again, is gonna be one of the most driving forces for us in our success,” Lupoi said. ” … Every waking second of my life will be devoted to the success of this organization, when I’m away from game planning the opponent that we’ll learn come this Sunday, I believe at 10:30 a.m. …
So, I’m gonna have my duties, just as if I was representing this program and if I was leaving."
