I think Georgia could jump Penn State, maybe.

Since we beat OSU and don't play Penn State or Indiana, while OSU plays them both, we have 1 mulligan to reach the B1G championship, which basically guarantees a trip to the playoffs, even if we lose.. We absolutely control our destiny, so nobody has it better than us right now.

Lanning wouldn't want to go to a school with a history of coaching failures. Coaches that failed there first and succeeded elsewhere , now a coach that succeeded elsewhere first and failed there.

O = 1 The math checks out. Now we find out if the Ducks have built up an immunity to rat poison.

Just like the onside kick to start the half. Georgia won't jump Oregon or Ohio State, Beck is really choppy and their WRs are a real weakness. You can say they put up 30 on Texas, but most of the points were on a short field.

The dude's in the media booth watching in on the Alabama Tennessee game were dumbstruck with how ugly both teams were playing, like a solemn hushed tone.

In defense of Illinois, Red Grange was a prolific scorer, especially in the era he played.

Indiana only has cupcakes, and mediocre Michigan then Ohio State. I think you have to finish 11-1 or better to make the B1G championship this year. It's realistically down to us, Ohio State, Penn State and Indiana now.

Indiana with the backups in now, got a turnover on downs, and drove for a score. They are beating Nebraska worse than we beat Purdue.

Nebraska is the classic B1G team that gets accolades for their defense, because they play a bunch of teams with no offense. Their D is a bit above average, as Indiana is showing with their great offense. And of course Nebraska with it's B1G offense, is completely incapable of keeping up, even if Raiola was fully healthy.

Tackling against tOSU was the best I've ever seen from Ducks. Vice grip tackles on 4 and 5 star skill players was amazing. Tonight wasn't as good, but the bully ball made up for it.

Wait, what!? Mclallan is playing both ways? First road shutout in 32Years!

Novasad in before Moore. Could be Justified vs. UCLA to keep Moore safe, but not against Purdue. Did Novasad pass him on the depth chart? Inquiring minds want to know. I've long since belief Moore will never start for the Ducks. Too Blaise and not intuitive enough, much like Thompson. I hope I'm wrong, because he has a heck of an arm.

Where is Flowers anyways? Dude was expected to be in the two deep at the beginning of the year, he isn't even on the field with the backups. I see Woodyard and Turner out there.

I don't know what is holding back Harris in practice, he seems good, although I could have probably scored on that last play. Harris a Limar certainly seem to want it more when they are out there.

Whittington is still stuck in his head about the injury. Playing scared in a strange sort of way. If he's truly our 2nd best RB, then we need to use James sparingly through the season unless we are on track to lose. Whittington also isn't reading where to go well. I was hoping Harris would be used, but he's still behind Limar, which is disappointing. Kudos to Whittington on that catch though. Outstanding.

Yeah you have no choice but to go a day ahead. The flight time combined with the time zone change, and game prep is too much, even for a late start like this one. Just sent alarms for regular West coast wake up and you should be okay.

Sports science says the best way to beat the time zone change is to be there as short a time as possible. Its when your body clock tries to adjust that you have problems. So keep the trip to 24-36 hours and don't change your clocks and you'll be fine.

Ducks 34-13 3 TOs 5 sacks 270yds Could be a real rough start, rough 1st half, but I'm not betting on that though.

The 4 seconds lost were the difference between OSU having time to call the time out after the slide vs the game being over and it was 100% legal. Remember the Survivor series motto? "outplay, outwit, outlast" It's well known that our most elite military groups utilize every possible advantage in a tactical mission. If they would have known exactly when osama bin ladin was going to be taking a poop they would have adjusted their attack time. If it's legal, DL is looking to exploit it, and I'm all for it. I still think the UO sports science group needs to mix up a mouth rinse for our O-Line that creates the most pungent and repulsive breath, such that when they block down on you and breath in your face your natural instinct is to recoil away as fast as possible, such a stench that you can't think straight enough to defeat the block and tackle the ball carrier.

Just saw this Tweet (at the very bottom): LoL Comforting in a bizarre sort of way.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Georgia beats Texas and they just swap places in the polls? I mean why not, right? It just means more to the SEC.

Great read. Still the comment that Burke was off his game because he was getting beat. I saw the play from Tez for the TD, the way Tez ran that route, getting into Burke and explosively releasing off him is unguardable. I keep saying that a perfectly executed pass play cannot be stopped by perfectly executed defense. Maybe sometimes Burke gets beat, but has enough speed to reel the WR back in or the ball is under throw. Nobody beat with a double move is going to reel in Evan Stewart when Gabriel hits him in stride.

Thanks for that snippet. I tip my cap to that guy seeing the same thing we do and calling them on it. I actually think the local/ team specific press has good reason to focus on their own team's plusses and minuses just like we do on this forum. But I don't give a pass to players and coaches and national press that refuse to admit OSU was outplayed. Lastly it's a fallacy to say they beat themselves with their mistakes. The Ducks made their share of mistakes that cost points too.

To a coach (except Kelly), to a player, to a fan, to a sports writer: "Oregon didn't beat us, we beat ourselves." What a bunch of entitled, classless, bad sports. Screw these guys and the pompous world they inhabit. I officially am an Ohio State hater now.
