Has anyone seen an interview with DG? Love to hear his thoughts. Not a performance you'd expect from a 64 game veteran in the biggest game of his career.

Matayo U. had one tackle yesterday. Surprising how much of a non-factor he was. One of our stars I thought would be a difference maker. Again, as Lanning said, the coaches did not put their players in a position to succeed. Confounding really, given a month to prepare for OSU.

Kenyon Sadiq? From a schematic perspective, I'd like to know how Kenyon went from monster game against PSU to non-factor in the Rose Bowl? Seemed like DG wasn't seeing the field as he normally does, but I also didn't see many/any throws to Kenyon. Isn't he one of our Uber athletes that's difficult to match up with?

Did Sadiq get any targets first half?

Are we not entertained? NO!

You know its not your day when even the punter looks freaked out.

This is the game plan Tosh worked on for a month? Certainly he knew #4 would be playing.

These are really nice burial clothes.

DL has displayed an uncanny and unique ability to forecast the difference-making elements in EACH game this season. A few examples include the "kick the door down" analogy before the Illinois game, punctuated by Whittington's destruction of an Illini d-back on his way to the end zone, the infamous film clip he showed of Mike Krzyzewski highlighting the satisfaction of running fans out of their arena, punctuated by the called time out to watch Michigan fans exiting the Big House, and the almost prophetic announcement to Kenyan Sadiq before the Big Championship game that tonight was going to be his coming out party, punctuated by TWO first-quarter touchdowns. These are not by chance. I think DL has a unique focus on what it was and is going to take to win each game in this first-ever 16-game college football championship. We are watching Coach Lanning use his players and his playbook like a veteran card shark in a game of hearts. After bleeding the other strong suits and hold-out cards from his competitors, he knows he has in his hand what is needed to run the table and take home the prize. DL has set OBD up to run the table, one play at a time. It should be fun to see what he has up his sleeve. In DL we trust.

21 to 10 at the half. At least OSU will have to play for real in the second half and give us some good film to review.

Connection, Toughness, Growth, Sacrifice. Rooted in Process. Trust in Preparation. Keys to OBD success. Tennessee seems to be woefully lacking all of the above.

I like this quote a lot more: "This will be the place I'm coaching for a long, long time."

Hey, wait! Don't they have the Coach of the Year at IU? He better do some serious work at halftime reflective of the honor IMHO.

Yikes, not the way to impress people with NIL $ to spend.

So the #1 OLine in all of college football is amassing 2.9 yards per carry vs Navy. Enough said. Committee members must have a strange set of criteria.

No doubt Jeanty is a great running back. Also no doubt that week in, week out he played against far inferior competition than DG. I'm pretty sure most voters will side with your perspective. By the way, the Moore Award, given to the best OL group, has gone to the B1G more than any other conference.

Quality of competition should matter on some level. How Heisman worthy is a h.s. kid who runs for 400 yards and 6 touchdowns against a h.s. defense? Looking at Hunter's team, they played only one ranked opponent all season, Kansas State, and lost. In that game Hunter tallied 3 receptions for 26 yards, and on the other side of the ball notched one tackle. DG on the other hand had a plethora of "Heisman Moments" against some of the best programs and most difficult environments in the country. Not saying that TH isn't talented, but if I'm in a room trying to decide between 4 of the most talented players in the country, I'm going to give some consideration to who each of them played against, and what they did when they played against the best.

I think your last comment nailed it. I saw a video clip on "X" today of OBD fans going crazy to "Shout" between the 3rd & 4th quarters. The white outs looked miffed that Duck fans were partying in their place! Not a whiff of a mention by the broadcast folks.

One of their more maddening tirades was when the Penn State punt returner got called for the fair catch signal "that wasn't an infraction" in their high and lofty opinions. I muted the tv at regular intervals from that point on!

Could not agree more: It's time to retire the, "Kenny Wheaton's gonna score" rift. Whereas I once found it inspiring and thought I'd never tire of seeing it, I now find myself cringing when it is aired before EVERY game, as if it portrays the only moment of glory and the zenith of Oregon football. While it may have signaled the dawn of a new age, it is now tired and time to put it to rest IMHO.

It looked like the plan was to benefit from Tez's presence on the field AND to allow him to get some of the rust off from his extended absence. I loved seeing him go to the ground safely several times, and minimize the end zone gang celebrations after his touchdown catch. Mission accomplished. He looks ready for the playoff stretch!

Definitely need to find their mojo!

In this pic they look a little more bad arse. When we start beating on the dawgs in them they will look beautiful.

Nice win for OBD! Shot over 45% from the field, 34 points in the paint, 27 defensive boards! I think Dana has them gelling earlier this season!
