I certainly hope so. But players coming off of major injuries tend to take quite a while to get back to where they were. It took Noah Wittington months before he was more or less performing pre-leg injury and I'm inclined to say it's this season where he's playing like his old self. Whether he had lingering physical issues or maybe recovering mentally (to where he can trust his legs again), it did take a lot of time.

That’s awesome news though I hope he doesn’t rush back, health is most important. I’d also temper expectations as he’s been out for months and will probably need weeks to get back into playing shape and rhythm.

That's a crazy resume for just 1 player to hold. I'm going to guess his 3 star status as a QB is simply because he hasn't been doing that position long, otherwise he might have been a 4. Should be really interesting to see how he develops over the next 2 years.

I'm glad OBD responded the way they did against Rutgers. I was counting on it happening based on my score prediction, though I obviously did not give enough credit to the defense (I had Rutgers scoring 21, mostly in garbage time). Overall it was obviously a dominating effort. However there are still a couple things to nitpick: Dante's overthrowing his long range passes somewhat. The 3 TDs he tossed to Sadiq and Wittington all required them to make a diving catch to complete despite not having defenders around them. Sadiq's 2nd TD catch ended up re-aggravating the ankle he injured in the previous game. Kicking team has missed multiple FG attempts against Indiana and Rutgers, that really needs to be improved.

Well they had to score some time.

According to ESPN he's only played in 1 game so far. ESPNAustin Novosad 2025 Stats per Game - NCAAF - ESPNThe 2025 NCAAF season stats per game for Austin Novosad of the Oregon Ducks on ESPN. Includes full stats, per opponent, for regular and postseason.

Either Austin Novasad is injured or preserving his redshirt to transfer. Both scenarios aren't great.

This is the kind of effort I wanted to see, just eating nails and breathing fire. Wish more of that offensive fire showed up last game but maybe that was the spark needed to get them out of complacency for the rest of the season.

Hopefully that means the offense is settling down.

Rutgers weak secondary is well documented. But instead of immediately attacking it they go with 2 run plays and a short pass that resulted in a fumble…😬

Apparently Franklin is taking Kirk Herbstreit’s job on ESPN College Gameday.

I’m looking for the offense to make this a statement game. If they don’t score at least 45 I’ll be disappointed.

Vandy’s definitely in the top 15 after today’s win.

Back to back INTs for the Fuskies, they’re starting to have their Miami moment.
