I'm so glad I got rid of Comcast years ago.

I think we would be fooling ourselves if it wasn't a factor but I don't think it's as big of one as we might think. Most of the issue starts with bad center play (sorry Charlie Pickard, you just didn't have it tonight). It may have been better if Pancho were lining up in the middle but I guess various factors shoved him over to right guard where he didn't perform well either. The lack of interior presence then contributed to the already puzzling bad play of the tackles, especially on the right (Cornelius killed a couple drives on his own with penalties). I do think this will get straightened out...the question is how long it will take. Assuming Bedford and Iuli come back soon that could drastically speed up the improvement but if they come back too early and get re-injured then they're in trouble. OBD need every minute of that 5 weeks before tOSU comes to Eugene in order to get to the level that's expected of them.

Just watched the post-game presser and oh MAN DL was NOT a happy camper. You could tell he just got done chewing out a bunch of people in the locker room and wanted to go to the video room instead to analyze plays.

Before the season started I was most concerned about the how much we would lose on the OL after JPJ left. Pancho provided some hope in the Fiesta Bowl, not so much today even at RG. But what surprised me most was how bad both tackles played, particularly Ajani Cornelius.

He was 41-49 with 380 yards passing and 2 TDs. The problem isn’t him. The OL played sloppy and killed multiple drives with penalties and just outright bad play.

Rushing would have been fine with better blocking by the OL. Same with the passing game, lots of yards but lost opportunities for more TDs. Coach Terry has a TON of work to do next week.

That TD probably put it to bed but I’d like them to score again just to make sure.

Can’t rely on the defense to do everything. The offense has allowed Idaho to have too much confidence and it’s showing.

I’d like to see Dillon Gabriel pull the ball and take off. That would force Idaho’s defense to adjust.

The OL play is comical at this point. Tripping over your own teammate to blow up the play and turn the ball over on downs.

Defense doing well overall, offense is underwhelming most due to the OL not doing their job. Coach Terry needs to do something to wake his guys out of their malaise.

That’s an understatement. I don’t know what’s going on in Cornelius’ head but he’s not playing anywhere near the level of a starting lineman. Might be good to bench him as a wake up call.

Nice pick by the new guy!

I don’t know what’s going on with Cornelius but that’s the 2nd time he’s ruined a 1st down play by being out of formation.

I don’t know what some of those CFB pundits were looking at during the Summer, Gabriel has plenty of arm strength.

I’m glad to see Noah on the field!

Nice sack by Matayo!

OL looked out of sorts on that possession.

Mari0 will find a way to mess it up again some time this season.

I'd laugh my rear off if that happened 🤣

I find seeing Quinn Ewers in a soda commercial very disconcerting.

I'm sure Nike as a business is more bullet proof than whatever Ruiz is in.

Watching the Miami game out of morbid curiosity. At least Cam McCormack scored the opening TD, I'll always root for him.

Kirby's defense is impressive as usual.

Watching a bit of Wisconsin and Western Michigan. It's 21-14 with 8 minutes left in the 4th. Jeezy Pete's so far I'm not impressed with any B10 offense I've seen this week.
