Cal surprisingly put up 58 points! I know it's North Texas they were playing but still, I'm a little shocked.

Same here! I thought I was the only one...

Absolutely could be a psychological thing, Camden Lewis had a similar issue his freshman year. For the life of me I can't find it but I remember reading an article that interviewed a college football scout commenting about Ty Thompson when he was being recruited. The scout said the 5* rating was primarily because TT had fantastic physical tools but was technically very raw, so he was more of a project than a polished player. Essentially he was railroading the high school level because he was just that physically superior but to succeed at the college level he needed a ton of development. Perhaps after 3 years TT is finally showing the potential that scout was seeing back then.

If Oregon blows out Texas Tech by halftime or 3rd quarter then TT could get some run against actual FBS players. If he performs about the same against them as he did against PSU then I'd feel better.

I'm betting the coaching staff is already gathering to watch and scout them out.

Jayden Limar and Dante Dowell will fill in real well for Bucky and Noah when they move on after this season.

BSU mounting a come back, back to back scores right out of halftime. UW's offense is all Michael Pennix, if he goes down with an injury they're toast.

Austin Novasad getting some play time, that's good to see.

True but he's an FCS qb, no reason the DL or LB's can't get him by now.

One thing that bugs me is that the Oregon defense doesn't have a single sack. That's very concerning to me.

Encouraging first drive for TT. Obviously you take it with a grain of salt with a deflated PSU defense but this should be a confidence booster for him to continue improving.

TT is now in. Let's see if he does anything besides hand the ball off or go backwards.

You have to add the optional sports package.

Let's see what happens after a few games. TCU has early season 2022 BYU vibes right now.

Meanwhile the vaunted Fuskies offense has a whooping 9 points in the 2nd quarter.

It's a sports package you have to add onto the regular subscription. Includes all the Pac12 channels along with B10, ACC, SEC, etc. Log into your sling account from a web browser and you can see it under optional packages.

I wonder if he regrets leaving such a plum situation at Oregon?

Could Oregon score over 80 by the end of the game?

Bassa got burned hard by the PSU QB. Made a big mistake by leaving his feet like that.

Offense is just fine though

Defense inconsistent so far.

CU is showing some improvement on offense but that's about it. Their defense and special teams are still terrible. Plus it's obvious TCU is a shell of it's former self, this is not the team from last year. They lost too many players and it shows.

Considering they didn't have Cam Rising this was a solid win for Utah!

Well when you think about it, OSU generally recruits classes ranked somewhere in the 50's year to year (at least during Jonathan Smith's tenure) and consists of primarily a bunch of 3* kids with a blue chip or two (they had 2 solid ones committed for 2023). That's with having a Pac12 revenue share of $30-$35 million a year (with a record $37 million last season). MWC gets $4 million a year on its current deal that runs through 2026 and I doubt the next deal will clear double digits even after OSU and WSU join. Whatever recruiting budge the Beavers have now will be decimated after 2024 so I expect it to plummet, no more occasional blue chips anymore through high school....maybe the occasional one through the transfer portal.

Oregon 49-14 3 TOs 5 Sacks 305 yards passing I kept it under 50 because it's Will Stein's first game and I think it'll take a little while for the players and new OC's play calling to mesh properly.
