Oregon State 14 Texas Tech 45 Washington State 10 North Texas 59 How 'Bout Those Scores?

How about A&M! First win on the road against a top 10 team since 2014. 13 road games vs. top-10 losses before tonight's win in South Bend. ND at Arkansas this Saturday won't be a lay-up for the Irish. The Hogs on the road at Ole Miss were in the game to the very end of a seven-point loss shoot-out. ND, without another top 25-ranked opponent on the schedule to date, could be in PO trouble. With Pitt losing the Back Yard Brawl game to the West Virginia Rich-Rods, USC, 3-0, and a 33-17 winner at Purdue, could be the Domers' only top-25 opponent hope.

"...last time these players would have played at 9am was peewee football" I believe the West Coast Four are 2-3 in 9:00 am games so far starting in 2024. 1-1 UCLA 0-2 UW 1-0 Oregon

I share similar sentiments about this game. Not overly impressed by the trenches for the Ducks. Not sure if I'm being too critical, but does it seem like LB Jackson (#26) is an athletic freak that is only a missile on defense (he doesn't wrap up)? Too many times he makes fast, hard contact but bounces off and they keep running. The uniforms were spectacular.

I tried watching the Miss St game last week and also hated those bells, to the point that I just turned it off.

I have been to many college, and pro stadiums, and they all follow a predictable formula. By the way, refs can already stop play because of artificial noise. The music, or noise from speakers well above field level are not the reason teams win, or lose. I never have heard any coaches say that if they turned off all the speakers we would have won. But, many talk about a stadium being a tough environment, referring to the crowd noise.

I am enjoying the relative lack of penalties so far this season.

Hey now... The Beavers get the chance to play on the B1G network next weekend!

I could tell something was off at Martin, even over the TV speakers... No way 12,000 fans would be able to create that much racket. My wife was complaining about the "cowbells" giving her a headache in the background of the last Mississippi State game we watched (And they didn't sound anything like the cowbells from a couple decades ago). I have to admit, I do occasionally miss my Duck Lips... My late son and I blew upquitea few of those!

With Ls vs UNLV and New Mexico, UCLA has secured last place in the Mountain West. Nico - 'This is what I get for coming home?' I hope our friend Nevada Dawg, ND, didn't have to call on an MD as the Dawgs somehow walk away with another W over the Vols. Fantastic game! 1901 - last time TOSU lost to an in-state opponent, but Ohio kept it close until it didn't. Michigan, in a walkover game, decides to play the O it should have last week. Perhaps Sherrone should serve more minutes in the penalty box. Beavis should have snuck out during the weather delay. And Wazzu? Thanks for being the weeds mowed down by The Big Green Machine. 1st huge game of the season next Saturday when OBD faces the top team in the Pac-12, right? This year's Indiana could well be ... Indiana. 73-0 Largest Hooisir shutout since 1901. In honor of two B1G 1901's, Hats Off to Teddy Roosevelt! This year's 2024 FSU could be Clemson. Sue your ACC off at your own risk? USC 33 - Purdue 17 - SC wins its first B1G road game as a conference member and goes 1-9 in its last 10 road games in the Eastern time zone; first win since 2012. Great News! OBD is now 1-1 vs, the NW Wildcats! 1974? What are you good for? Absolutely Nothing!

I couldn't tell too much based on watching on TV but the TV experience is not the in person one. But there should be rules about piping in noise. I know other fan bases have accused Autzen of pumping in noise but being there in person you can FEEL the human volume. It is certainly different and disruptive. But it comes at the cost of 50k+ crazy fans. Not the push of a button. I know the Pac-12 banned noise makers and I believe most conferences have a similar ban. Autzen still has the noise maker ban. If noise makers are banned so should pumping in sound to disrupt the opposing team.

I had a friend go to Miami/Notre Dame during week 1. She said the DJ that Miami uses had the volume turned up to unbearable levels. They weren’t allowed to play music while the ball is in play, so he kept it on until Notre Dame’s center moved his hand to snap the ball. Miami had the benefit of the music stopping while they had the ball.

There were no stands filled with fans behind our bench against Northwestern today, yet it was really difficult for the coaches and players to communicate on our sidelines due to super loud speakers. Then I watched part of the Texas Tech game and on 3rd down there was a really loud sounds affect blaring away while the Beavers were at the LOS with the QB trying to make calls to the team. If we want to take it to the extreme let's set up an 80s guitar band with a wall of Marshall full stacks behind the visitors bench pumping 140dB until their ears bleed and while we are at it install a state of the art direction sound system mounted on the light poles that pumps focus pink noise directly at the line of scrimmage. Or better yet, install a few of those state of the art crowd control devices to direct obscene dBs at the offense. I mean who needs yelling fans anymore? What is too much? Are there any rules?

To add insult to injury, UCLA shelled out a cool $1.2 million to New Mexico for traveling to LA 🤣 On3UCLA seven-figure payment to New Mexico revealed for upse....

The last time these players would have played at 9am was peewee football. And in a stadium with no stands on their side. A weird vibe for sure. I have 3 takeaways of future interest. #1 Dante Moore is him. I've been a bit "I'll believe the efficiency when I see it", but I'm seeing it consistently. The amount of times he dug us out of a hole with excellent decisions and really good throwing that is like Nix was doing in his second season. #2 We are really struggling to bring down RBs after 1st contact. I know some of that is the way the Northwestern RBs run the ball, and are likely taught to run the ball (never go down). But it seems like we are just tackling too high in the front 7 every game. Every tackle is a bear hug 1st, where they get drug for an extra couple yards due to lack of leverage. Those extra couple of yards each run are the difference between 3 and out, and an extended drive where we can't get off the field. It's tough for the DL when they are 6'5" and trying to shed a blocker to grab a 5'10 RB that is hunched over. I'm not a position coach, so I don't know how to fix it. #3. When our Tackles are trying to slide past the OL into the backfield to be disruptive it can leave some gaping holes for the RBs and frees up an OL to block the LBs. I guess we are good with the safeties coming downhill in a hurry before the RB breaks a big one, but it's scary. Again maybe that is just the cost of being disruptive.

Oregon is a beautiful state. As a movie fan I would love to see a game with the Pacific in view or maybe somewhere close to where they filmed the Goonies.

This game was exactly what we needed. Better competition from what seems to be a well coached team. We took a 34-0 lead while not playing our very best. Mistakes at the end give the coaches material to coach hard with. We probably anointed the offensive and defensive lines a bit early I need more and more of Moore and Moore

OBD - TCB in CHI 😍

Donte insured the win for us IMHO. Most Surprised By: The lack of push from our offensive line. With guys like Sadiq and DM bringing the blocks no matter the circumstances, you would think the 6'5" 330lb road graders could shove someone smaller and weaker off the ball simply because they want to. Not sure what to make of that showing today.

"Kenny Wheaton's gonna pour! Kenny Wheaton's gonna pour!" What a well written ad!

"66 players participated. I think 74 traveled" In addition to the 6 RBs with touches, I believe Whittington was on the sideline.

Most recent travel estimate: 2:40 pm PT wheels up in Chicago 6:40 wheels down in Eugene The Beavers are still in a weather delay in Lubbock which will mean a later arrival back in Oregon than they planned. Next game for them isn't at home, but down the road about 43 miles.

Hughes? The box score has him with 1 carry for 5 yds. If I counted correctly, 66 players participated. I think 74 traveled. 5-96 Hill 11-39 Limar 3-25 Harris 4-8 Davison 1-5 Hughes 2-1 Riggs 2-5 D. Moore 1-2 Moga
