Holy Crap! Indiana was ASTOUNDING
The 1st-ranked team that Indiana has defeated under coach Cig. 481 yards in the Hoosiers' favor vs. a top 10 team is a CFB record. Indiana's 63-10 beatdown of a top 10 team is a CFB record. Are you not entertained? 🤪

Our Beloved Ducks: Not Quite Ready for 'Natty Time?
I think moving a safety down closer to the LOS might help keeping the explosive runs at bay. The Ducks have been doing that and it might be just what they need. Adding a body but not committing a body.

Our Beloved Ducks: Not Quite Ready for 'Natty Time?
In the regular season last year the Duck front was only described as being "pushed off the ball" a single time I saw, against Penn State. Penn State returns three of its best starters from that game, gets back a starting RT who was lost for the season in game 10 who is now a RG, in large because the guy who replaced him is returning at RT after being so good in the playoffs he won the spot. They also appear to have a strong blocker at TE and some OL depth. Plus, two future NFL RBs. Their OL pushed the Duck DL in part through effective use of double teams, and often got bodies comfortably into the LBs. If somebody with a more accomplished eye would like to comment that would be appreciated; but, at least to my eye, making moves to "load the box" has been a step the Duck D has largely been reluctant to regularly commit to. I'd like to think steps like "better run fits", "improved eye discipline", etc, etc fixes the gap from last year but don't know it will prove that simple. Overwhelming an opponent with really good players and taking an easy 4+ yards all day I won't say is undefeated (but goes a long way). Taking out a sack and a kneel down, I think 20 of PSU's 32 rushes last year went for 4 or more yards, including 10 plays of 10 or more yards

Oregon Ducks unveil 'Mummy Duck’ Glow-in-the-dark Nike Cleats for Penn State White-out
A week ago, the Oregon Ducks revealed some of the most special uniforms that we have seen to date, breaking out the "Shoe Duck" combination to honor Nike co-founder Phil Knight, and all that he has given to the program in Eugene. Now, with a massive Week 5 game against the Penn State Nittany Lions on tap, it appears that the Ducks are once again getting into their bag when it comes to uniforms. On Sunday, we got a sneak preview, with Oregon revealing that they are breaking out new cleats for the game, called the "Mummy Duck" Vaporposite cleats. At first glance, they look to be all-white cleats, but when you flip the switch, the glow-in-the-dark mummy mode is activated. Oregon Ducks unveil 'Mummy Duck'

Oregon - Penn St. Pre-Game Reports, Interviews, Etc.
Instincts and circumstances led James Ferguson-Reynolds to tuck it on fake punt Oregon's fake punt wasn't called, punter James Ferguson-Reynolds says. He read the OSU defense, took the ball and ran it.

Holy Crap! Indiana was ASTOUNDING
IF the CFP was based on today's AP Top 12, then No. 11 Indiana would be out. No. 12 Tex Tech would be in as Big12 rep, and No. 27 USF would be in as Non-Power 4 rep. USF would take the No. 12 spot, and Tex Tech would move up to No. 11. At No. 6, Oregon would host Tex Tech.

Holy Crap! Indiana was ASTOUNDING
Indiana wiped the floor with Illinois. They also played with great intensity. All those sacks! That's the kind of fire we need to see from the Ducks. So far they haven't played with that kind of intensity against a strong opponent, since they haven't faced one yet this season.

Our Beloved Ducks: Not Quite Ready for 'Natty Time?
I get it! But Jonah Colman could be the best RB in the B1G, and Williams is a capable QB. This Saturday, I will not be surprised to see Williams play as well or better than TOSU's Julian Sayin.

Oregon - Penn St. Pre-Game Reports, Interviews, Etc.
Reminds me of last year when before the season started people were talking about if Oregon could adjust to BIG "play". Well, going 9 - 0 in football and 7 other league championships later (the most in any conference we have been in), it seems we'll be ready for anything they want to throw at us. It is not like we haven't played in big BIG games before. I think we are 3 - 0 in our last three trips to tosu (1) and Mich (2). JUST SAYING

Our Beloved Ducks: Not Quite Ready for 'Natty Time?
I watched the Apple Cup last night and the announcers sickened me with their constant praise of the Huskies. They proclaimed the Husky running back to be the best in college football several times. Then the claimed their QB to be the future of college football. Gag.

Last week, Texas Tech held Oregon State to 22 yards rushing / 0.4 YPC (42 yards / 2.6 YPC, excluding sacks). I wouldn’t be celebrating Oregon’s vaunted defense quite, yet…

2025 Football Poll Rankings
Based on results to date, Miami could be ranked No. 1. Why is Ohio State No.1? A seven-point home win over overrated No. 10 Texas? Miami has defeated ranked Notre Dame, No. 28, and the highest G6-ranked USF, and a Florida team with a Blue Chip roster. Notre Dame was close, but the Hurricanes blew out 😁USF and Florida. Week 6 is the ACC showdown, Miami at FSU.

ESPN’s College Gameday Coming to State College, PA
Gameday has jumped the shark (OK I did not really see a shark in the pool when Mcafee jumped) But They have taken their buffoonery to a whole new level.

Big Moves in AP, Coaches Polls
Coaches poll continues to show that coaches either don't care or don't pay attention to games. No way Maimi is No. 6 with their resume. And I'm no big Mari fan.

Ive watched a lot of football this year and a lot of replay games on YouTube in the off season. Very few teams play perfect football on any side of the ball for any set of downs.

College Coaching: Dabo Has a Meltdown
I think there isn't a ghost of a chance Kirby is interested in an NFL job. He has been there before (with Saban) and reportedly was not enthused about the gig. As for Fran going to Florida--that's a nightmare for a Dawg fan, lol.
