Oof, Donte Thornton should have had that.

Really great show of human decency by the Oklahoma band to help the Oregon band as a lot of them are stranded in Eugene due to the snow.

Hopefully this brings David Luli back in and maybe Josh Connerly

Here's the full list of who's out for the Alamo Bowl, it's simply staggering.

For at least going into January, recruiting on the offensive side is going to lag behind the defensive side given that there's no hired position coaches yet. Hopefully Dillingham can reel in this guy, the WR corp definitely needs some extra experience and depth.

Nevermind, the other article about Coach Tuioti mentions mentions him as a defensive passing game coordinator 😜

Maybe I'm uninformed but how does it work that he's the cornerbacks coach as well as the passing game coordinator? Isn't the latter a position on the offense side of things?

+1 An FCS or mid-major FBS team like Nevada is the perfect place for an analyst to prove themselves on the field.

Those are great questions to ask. It probably explains why there's less hesitation to reach out to coaches with less than stellar histories with NCAA violations. I hope this doesn't turn into a "Jail Blazers" era of Oregon football...

Guess that means Joe Salavea isn't being retained..

Sounds like a hamburger lol

Man I hope Lanning pulls Moss in, he'd be a great replacement for KT.

Coach McClendon doesn't expect any more opt-outs at this point for Oregon. That being said, WR and CB are really thin going into the game. If anything, it gives the freshman WRs a chance to show out on a big stage.

VT just went through a coaching change, which probably explains why BB is getting out.

I always felt bad for Burmeister when he was here in Oregon. He was clearly not ready to be a starter but was forced into it due to QBs transferring out and Herbert getting injured...he was literally thrown to the wolves. He seems to have faired a bit better at VT the last couple years which I'm happy for him.

I was about to point that out as well. That's a ton of coaching turnover that would disrupt the development of any QB. Had Dillingham stayed with Auburn, he might have turned into one of the best QBs in the SEC.

Jeez, you step away from the computer for a couple hours and come back to shocking news. I can't say I'm enthusiastic about yet another transfer QB coming into the program. That being said, he's probably the best transfer QB to come to Oregon in recent memory. He's definitely a step up from AB since he's a better (but not great) passer as well as plenty of experience against SEC competition. I imagine Lanning and Dillingham are making an educated guess based on the limited exposure to the current QB room and bringing Nix in as an insurance policy. All the current QBs are still very young and of course, Cristobal's now infamous reputation for under-developing QBs have probably led them to make this play. I think it's likely at least one QB transfers out...maybe Butterfield or Ashford.

This is a transition year so of course recruiting will take a hit. Even with Riley on board USC's recruiting ranking isn't particularly good at the moment (#82).

This doesn't mean the younger QBs won't get playing time, I'm hoping McClendon will give at least one of them a shot in the 2nd half.

The more I read about Morgan Malchow, the more I like him. At every stop he's been a key cog in recruiting top 10 classes, this is good news. Looking at a couple A&M sites, quite a few of their fans aren't happy with this development.

It depends on the mood of the Ohio State players. If they come in feeling deflated because they feel like they should have been in the CFP then Utah has a great shot at winning. If they come in extremely motivated and ticked off because they feel like they should have been in the CFP then it's gonna get ugly.

But not unexpected. Things should improve once the rest of the coaching staff is settled.

I certainly hope Lanning is able to keep McClendon on the staff, he's an excellent recruiter and a good WR coach. I also hope he holds onto Joe Salave'a, Jim Mastro, and Rod Chance at minimum.
