Obviously the Oregon coaching staff is monitoring this thread while on the field.

That's not targeting!

Anyone else feel like Oregon's kick/punt returns efforts are middling? I can't recall any game this season where I've seen a home run kick return.

I hope DL lays into the offense during halftime to shake them out of this malaise they're in.

Wish he would just do the smart thing and keep using what was working.

Ew they mentioned Mario.

I don't understand why they've gone away from running the ball

Nix is basically playing Houdini to keep the offense from making more mistakes.

JPJ snapped when he wasn't signaled to.

What the heck was that??

Like the weather this has been an extremely sloppy 1st quarter so far.

Looks like that's what they're going with now. It's raining cats and dogs out there!

Steve Stephens just bailed them out. Great play!

Wow, penalties just ruined a great defensive stand.

Man what a nailbiter

They just got their lucky break. Now they need to avoid screwing it up again.

Now KSU is going to be stuck relying on the same kicker to tie the game from 45+ yards if they're lucky.

Yeah I don't know why they didn't just go for it...they were close enough to score a TD.

Utah looking much better offensively against ASU. Bryson Barnes reminds me of Jeremiah Masoli in terms of playing style.

Oregon, 51-21, 2, 5, 287

Same here. OBD will be breaking in a new QB (whomever that may be) and having a bye week after a few games will help with correcting mistakes before they head into the meat of their schedule.

I have to agree with this. Following Saban at Alabama would be a career death trap with no escape unless you do the nearly impossible, which is to surpase Nick's win/championship totals. Plus I don't think DL has any particular "coming home" feelings towards Alabama like Mario/Willie do with their Florida schools. He didn't graduate or play there, just worked there for a time. Georgia would be more likely in that scenario given his success as a DC there but I don't think Kirby Smart is retiring any time soon (even if he did, it would be the same death trap due to their successive national championships). I think DL is relishing the opportunity to bringing something to Oregon that no other program coach has, a national championship here would cement his own lasting legacy.

As if on cue, Joel Klatt releases a segment on his Breaking The Huddle series analyzing just how good Bo is.

The dline is going to be an absolute nightmare for opponents the next few years!

Stanford at number 23 is surprising.
