    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.

    Coach Lanning is a real gem, and I think Oregon is the right fit for him. I can't wait to see him on the sidelines of Brooks Field 10 years from now.

    .... Hopefully with some heavier knuckles. 😏

    And who knows ... Maybe someday we'll have a building named after him. 😎

    Call me crazy, but....

    ...this new Chad Powers show has a main character who’s literally the Oregon Ducks quarterback. He takes the team all the way to the title game, fumbles on the one-yard line, and it all falls apart, and they lose. Then they make him do some ridiculous villain stuff after that, like impersonating a person to get in another school to play, punching a cancer-stricken fan’s dad on TV, knocking the kid over in the process, etc.

    I don’t know, but it’s hard not to see this as more than just a story. It almost feels like some Washington fan became a writer and finally got their dream chance to make fun of Oregon. The “zero championships” thing is basically baked into the plot. The jab at cheating, the irony of it all.

    Maybe it’s nothing. Or maybe it’s a long-planned joke from the folks up north. 😆

    Either way, it’s hard not to notice.

    We'll see who's laughing come November 29th.

    Go Ducks!!

    Nice piece, Darren... love the fire in the title! 🔥

    I’ll echo what some others have said: defense is going to be the key. If our D comes out ready to clog lanes, force third downs, and not let PSU get comfortable, we’ve got a real shot. But the offense can’t just show up... the line has to win early, and Dante Moore needs clean pockets.

    One idea: mix in a few quick hitters and misdirections early to loosen up their edge set. Let’s get the crowd off balance, then hit ‘em when they overcommit.

    If the Ducks handle turnovers, stay disciplined in all three phases, and manage the tempo, I think we green out the white out. Go Ducks! 🦆
