Oregon, 34-21, 2, 3, 224 This game won't be determined until the 2nd half of the 4th quarter, until then it'll be a nail-biter!

Can you imagine Whittingham with Oregon's resources? He'd run roughshod over the entire conference!

I think it would be a good idea for DL to find another mentor-type figure to bring on as an analyst to help out Will Stein. He's very intelligent and adaptable but is still rather green as an OC and it shows at times as we're all aware. TBH if someone like Mark Helfrich or Scott Frost wanted to consult part time for a year in that sort of role, I'd be all for it.

I feel like the hiring of Mike Cavanaugh is the most understated staff addition of the year. It wouldn't be surprising that his experience and guidance has directly led to substantial growth of Alique as a position coach.

Honestly I think the key to the game will be Nix pulling the ball and running. He has hardly done that at all this season and with a defense like Utah's, it's an absolute must to use that to spread it out thin so that opportunities can be created more easily for the running backs. Subsequently that opens up passing opportunities when they try to stop the run.

Bless you!

I think you hit it on the head. Occum's Razor....he works his butt off and it's the middle of the season and just into the meat of the toughest part of the schedule. He's probably just exhausted and maybe has a cold because it's that time of year. Dude needs a day off to recharge.

Calling USC's defense average is being very generous.

Cuz, um, he's all about the academic prowess...

You can bet NFL GMs and HCs notice this kind of stuff. It's shows a huge difference in maturity and character, particularly between Bo and Caleb.

If he did that I think a lot of NFL GMs are going to seriously question his work ethic. His draft stock would tank.

ASU was also sending 5 linemen to pressure Pennix often, resulting in him having to scramble out of the pocket and throw under pressure while moving. That greatly diminished his accuracy and made the job easier for the DBs.

Oops I meant Jaden Rashada. It's getting hard keeping track of all the players nowadays...at least for me lol

If Jaden De Laura were not injured they definitely would've had the upset of the year.

We absolutely should enjoy it. Every time USC does a face plant an angel gets its wings!

Hehe

Evidently that Herbert block was worthy enough (and hilarious enough) to warrant its own article! Washington State defender falls asleep, gets rocked as Oregon stretches lead SATURDAYOUTWEST.COM Washington State fell asleep and Oregon made it pay in a major way in the second half.

2:20PT is a bit of a weird time from the norm.

Ah those last names are so similar I mixed them up

As long as OBD wins out, they'll make it into the CFP.

I don't recall Ludwig being particularly bad as OC for Oregon when Scott Frost left. It was more the program starting to fall apart under Mark Helfrich in that last year is what I distinctly remember.

They look like last minute hired backup dancers for a low budget Prince music video.

No matter what happens the Fuskies drop in the polls. ASU has thoroughly put played and out maneuvered them nearly all night

Ouch, that's a brutal pick six at a really bad time. Good news is that ASU has 8 minutes to score a TD. But they need to kick it up a step to do it.

Now Dilly needs his offense to take advantage. They haven't scored hardly anything despite getting 4 gifts.
