That's a TD!

Wow, horrendous special teams play. Pellum didn't protect the ball at all.

Burch is in!

Did he? It looks like the ball fell down on the inside of his right arm and now the ground.

Fantastic pass by Dillon and fantastic catch by Stewart in the tiniest window I've seen in a while!

I hope Tez is ok, he just went back to the locker room. Stewart, Lowe, and Siddiq will need to pick up the slack.

Strong start for the defense! The is one of the biggest stages in the B10. I don't want OBD to just beat Michgan, I want them to completely demoralize the Wolverines. That'll wake up all the B10 pundits who keep underestimating Oregon.

Admittedly I have not watched PSU closely but James Franklin seems like a very offensively limited coach.

OBD 41-14 2 3 295

I mean, the defense saw the run coming from a mile away...anyone could. Then Penn tried it again on the next play! They could have scored if the QB pulled the ball and ran it in.

Watching the PSU offense is frustrating. It's just terrible and unimaginative.

The B10 "blue bloods" don't like the whole "big and strong" conference narrative shattered by a newcomer in their very first year.

So I guess Michigan's theme is "Groundhog's Day".

The way it's going, this may very well be the case. I don't think it's an accident that DL's defense is really humming in his 3rd year as HC. I've always withheld summary judgements of new head coaches until the 3rd year of their tenures simply because it takes time to implement all their plans for the program. The 1st year is spent primarily evaluating the current roster and then getting the types of players you need to fit your schemes and developing them to the point where they *could* carry out their duties for their respective positions. In the midst of all that the base schemes are implemented. In the 2nd year player development continues and as they have gotten comfortable in the base sets, intermediate level schemes are introduced. By the 3rd year, you have a solid group of experienced players that are ready to practice and execute the most advanced plays within the program. That's where we are now. This is, of course, a pretty optimistic timeline even in the best of circumstances as there are so many variables involved in developing and maintaining a football program (especially a large one like Oregon). But DL, despite having no prior experience as HC, is right on track. That to me is simply amazing.

tOSU is clearly struggling, if PSU and James Franklin are going to get that elusive Buckeye win it's right now.

This. tOSU winning makes Oregon's resume better, eliminates Penn St from the B10 championship game, and will result in either tOSU or Indiana as the Ducks' opponent at the end of the regular season. It also eliminates the very real (and ridiculous) possibility of being undefeated but still being left out of the conference title game because of the tiebreaker rules.

That might be true but if Illinois can beat them 21-7 then I think Oregon can do more than that.

I like the kid's confidence. It's the perfect thing to shatter across that football field.

It would be hilarious and delicious irony if Riley ended up as an Oregon OC in the future lol

Bret is a really solid coach, he just doesn’t have the horses to compete at the top tier of the conference. Understandable given that Illinois isn’t the recruiting destination that Wisconsin is.

Justius Lowe is showing really well today!

Defense looking dominant this possession!

So much for that vaunted "LA media market" the B10 coveted...

Imagine what those prices will be in the after market

They just can't accept that they lost. Ryan Day says Ohio State submitted final Oregon play to Big Ten, argues time still remained on clock 247SPORTS.COM Ohio State says the officials made the wrong call.
