I wish I was Pat McAfee's hair product salesman. Kaitlyn Olson was right when she referred to him as an "oaf' on the Gameday set last season.

Wazzu I up 7-0 on Ole Miss in the 2nd quarter. They’ll find a way to “Coug” it though.

Immediately as well, I thought, wait, how many red zone trips have the Duck defense faced this year so far? Went to the NCAA site but the search query comes back "No stats available." So had to dig elsewhere. Probably some intern tasked with finding a stat for McAfee to look well informed, when the intern really didn't really have the full knowledge to interpret the number? McAfee didn't bother to look further either; but, you know, entertainer and all. Looking else where, you find: Redzone defense scoring conversions allowed: #127 (tie) Indiana 100% #127 (tie) Oregon 100% #127 (tie) Missouri 100% #127 (tie) Utah 100% #127 (tie) Utah State 100% #127 (tie) Oregon State 100% #127 (tie) Virginia Tech 100% #127 (tie) South Alabama 100% #127 (tie) Rice 100% #127 (tie) Charlotte 100% However, fewest redzone scoring attempts per game allowed: #1 Indiana: 0.8 #2 (tie) Oregon: 1.3 #2 (tie) Utah: 1.3 #4 Oklahoma 1.5 I would say this would be more the proper way to present this stat? I mean, why single out it as a negative for Oregon when Indiana has the exact same number and rating?

Yeah, first question I asked myself when he said that was, how many red zone trips have there been? Thanks for the info. Guessing it was more of an ignorant take from someone that doesn’t ever prep. The bigger disappointment to me is no one else on the crew calling it out. 6 red zone trips in total almost half-way through the season is an absurdly good stat.

Illinois is solid this year, no question about it. They’ve handled the middle of the pack teams pretty well and they’re sitting at 5-1 for a reason. But that atrocious lost to Indiana is telling. Games like that, or this game against Ohio State show where the line still is. It’s 10-0 right now, and you can already feel the difference in depth, speed, and execution. Illinois plays hard and they’re disciplined, but they’re not quite built yet to hang four full quarters with a number one team. They can punch above their weight for a while, but eventually the talent gap shows. They’re good, just not ready for the big time matchups yet. What makes things worse is that Ohio State is really not playing their best right now in this game. If they get things together this could be a very long day for fans in Champaign. Since crafting this message, it looks like Ohio state is ready to score again.

UCLA's interim staff is making a statement for the perminant gig. They have that team playing to win right now. I think it's certainly making their coaching search more difficult.

Indiana has faced two B1G defenses. They torched Illinois for over sixty points but struggled for about three and a half quarters at Iowa. They were trailing until Mendoza threw the game winning score late in the fourth. They scored twenty on a defense not nearly as dynamic in both athletic ability and depth of options for pressure packages due to the secondary. Oregon will be able to get pressure on Mendoza unlike anything he's seen. Cignetti is incredible, but I saw his team just get whipped against the two teams that compare to Oregon. This years team is more talented, but they aren't at the Oregon level. Plus traveling across country for an environment louder than Kinnick. Oregon wins 34-20 Mendoza gets sacked three times. There are two turnovers forced. Moore throws for 256 yards.

It may be pitch black outside when the cameras start rolling, but there is a reason that ESPN's "College GameDay" keeps coming back to Eugene, Oregon, year after year. The crowd brings the electricity, and it is routinely among the best environments in all of college football. "GameDay" made its 13th appearance on Oregon's campus on Saturday morning ahead of the top-10 showdown between the No. 2 Oregon Ducks and No. 7 Indiana Hoosiers. This elite matchup will give one team an inside track to the Big Ten Championship Game and the College Football Playoff. Both teams have impressive wins over ranked teams like the Illinois Fighting Illini and Penn State Nittany Lions. However, we are still looking for another "prove-it" opportunity for the Ducks and the Hoosiers before crowning them true national championship favorites. While the game is going to be electric later today, the crowd brought the energy early on, with signs and chants that reverberated through the TV. Here's a look at the top signs and moments from Saturday morning: That Eugene 'GameDay' Crowd Top Oregon Ducks signs and moments from ESPN's 'College GameDay'

Thanks for providing that...as context is crucial. Maybe this could provide a little bulletin-board material for Tosh today?

Numbers point a clear route to an Oregon victoryErik Skopil of 247Sports notes that while Fernando Mendoza completes 78 percent of his passes with a clean pocket, that falls to 48 percent under pressure.

I see that Ohio State has a 10-0 lead in late first quarter, and Alabama and Missouri are tied, 7-7.

Oregon! Well four out of five did, with Des Howard, Sabrina, Nick Saban and Kirk Herbstreit going with the Ducks, while Pat McAfee admitted his wife was a Hoosier, so he went that way. In the end....that is nice, but their picks don't matter; the same number picked against us vs. Penn State, so we gotta get it done today!

On ESPN College Football Game Day from the Memorial Quad in Eugene, Pat McAfee proved again you can use statistics to misrepresent anything. McAfee told the live crowd and the national TV audience, "This Oregon defense has DUDES everywhere. Their numbers are excellent everywhere except for in the Red Zone. For some reason they haven't been able to keep people out of the endzone." What he said was superficially correct, but misleading. He left out the most telling, informative part. The Oregon defense has allowed opponents to REACH the Red Zone just six times, the second fewest Red Zone attempts allowed in the country. What's more, three of those came late in games against the third team defense. The Ducks rank sixth in the country in scoring defense at 12.2 points per game, 11th in yards per play at 4.16. They've been tough in every part of the field.

No NEAR (and or buts) about it. SCO DUCKS, SCO DANNO

Being a VCU basketball fan and an Oregon Duck football fan, the experience of coaches leaving is real. On the one hand, if no one else wants your coach it means you are not doing very well. When you are doing well others will want your coach. It is refreshing to see what Dan Lanning is saying. Indeed Oregon is a place where I think you can expect to in the CFB playoffs every, or almost every year now. In three years coaching at Oregon Coach has generational wealth for his family, what more does he need. and by all accounts he loves living in Eugene, who wouldn't. It looks like Oregon has found that guy who is a near perfect fit. How exciting! I hope in Phil Martelli Jr. VCU basketball has done the same. time will tell, he hasn't coached an actual game yet. but like Lanning at Oregon, this guy seems different.

I went to GameDay, and a stripper audition broke out. 👍👌😁 I'm reasonably certain that Dan did something today that Saint Nick and Kirby, He So Smart, will never try to duplicate. 🤪 Hose the Hoosiers! Put Out Them Cigs!

From an East coast Duck fan. If I was living in Portland, I'd be looking for tickets and driving down to Eugene several times a season. I wouldn't want to have anything that would mess with the atmosphere at Autzen but I'm pretty sure more tickets could be sold if there were more seats. As to parking. That is a concern, but Duck fans are resourceful. I would drive to Eugene and ride carpool with local friends, I'd take a taxi or bus. Sounds like current projects would push any expansion off for a few years anyway.

Seems like a very nice kid. I will be pulling for him from this point on, except for today of course.
