One thing Josh Pate brought up when discussing how hard Oregon's 8 game stretch was, that tOSU will be playing their 7th game straight in the CCG, after having two tough games against Indiana and Michigan While Oregon will be in their second game after a bye week.

Which network for those windows?

There is a world where the 4 non-CCG champions end up with a higher than 50% win percentage against the 4 CCG Champions. Why? How many bowl games are there where it's been so long since their last game and they come out playing like it's spring practice? If you do that against the winner from a game a week earlier, then you're cooked, or you'd better have a heck of a second half "kick" to catch back up and outscore the opponent.

I know it's easy to forget, but there is this other B1G team lurking out there that indeed could jump the loser of the CCG - Penn State. They were at #4 last week and unlikely to move this week or next.

I can't think of a game that I've watch the whole way through where I could pin the fault on the refs for changing who won. The reason is there are so many bad calls, important calls each way that it averages out.

2 wasted seasons due to injuries. He needs to clean house with the sports science department and his strength and conditioning staff. They've failed the injured played and Whittingham. Either that or call it a career. He deserved better than this. A top 10 coach of the last few decades.

DL' sports psychologist could do worse than showing the old Star Trek the next generation clip where Warf says "There is an old Klingon proverb that says 'Revenge is a dish best served cold."

This was another game that shows our DL is capable of wearing down opponents' OLs. That's quite an advantage to have; an elite trait. 16 points, yuck. I agree we don't need to win a beauty contest right now, with the 12 team playoff as an 11 win team that beat OSU, Michigan, and Wisconsin. We could even manage to lose next week and we would still be in. I like what another individual pointed out that in the 2010 perfect regular season we barely beat Cal in an away game at a similar point in the season in a similarly low scoring game. It can happen and isn't necessarily a sign of impending doom. And hopefully the bye week can resolve much of the issues we had this game, being mentally, emotionally and physically worn down, as well as cleaning up issues with offensive blocking chemistry (including TEs). Here's to another week (or two?) at number 1.

I'm happy we made it out of their without a loss and no new major injuries. The 8 games in a row, the travel, playing against rested teams while having that "top 5 team" target on their back makes it really tough to win and even tougher to look like you don't suck. We look horrible on offense and it's a good example how thin the line is between success and failure. Tez is a huge loss to the skill position's ability to get first downs, and Bedford/Harper's chemistry to create consistent rushing lanes.

At least we didn't throw a pic six to end the half.

You beat me to it!

Announcers: "This is starting to look like a good old-fashioned B1G showdown in Madison." That the worst insult our offense has received all year.

I'll never complain about a bye-week again. We look like we need one bad.

I agree too. Iowa wore them down and ran all over them.

Yeah, it's also a vote of no confidence in our offense right now. The run game chemistry isn't there. Pass blocking is solid, but so is Wisky's secondary.

It's a vote of confidence in our defense.

Bruh, an ambulance pass by Gabriel, I feel bad for Lowe. Refs are trigger happy with holds.

Our run blocking is still very inconsistent. It's strength and weakness on weakness.

Does Whisky have like minus 5 yards on three possessions? Whisky is screwed. O needs to get it's stuff together and put this game away quickly to get the starters out and minimize injuries.

Beautiful pass followed by a bad pass. It is good to see the chemistry keep developing between Stewart and Gabriel. Once we get Tez back we'll have 2 #1 WRs.

I was thinking of it as the "Find a way to lose" or "nobody wants to win" bowl.

This new QB for UW is going to be a storyline going into our game with them. He's a true dual threat, kinda reminds me of Luke Moga. At least we are getting a little film on him before we play.

Yes, but once in a while he throws a what were you thinking pass too. He's better this year, but it still happens a bit.

A close loss..Texas is in and Indiana is still out.The committee has telegraphed those things well enough already.

Indiana is a spitten image of the 2010,-2014 Ducks, and Michigan is like Stanford. We'll see how they handle tOSU next week, which will be much more meaningful.
