GameDay Thread for Civil War Game: Join Us!
Dolorus again. I remember seeing his high school tape and how he just had a determined nose for the ball. He was special then, despite his low star rating. Texas dominated Texas Tech. We need to dominate through the finish to keep our playoff dreams in sight. Can't let them back in the game.

Right down the middle. Camden may have caught a bit of determination after the pathetic miss. He knows dang well he is better than that. Enough is enough. Then he shanks the kickoff out of bounds. Jeesh.

Such a big stop. We need to wear down their OLine. Just keep overwhelming them.

He looked a little pissed the way he kicked it too. I'll take it as a good sign. Beavers get the ball to start the 3rd. We need to stick with our strategy of making DJ beat us rather than Jonathan Smith.

Ugh. Missed. A pick 6 would be nice about now.

4-0 on possessions. Keep going. Can't back off until the 4th quarter ends!

JS said every possession matters, and he is absolutely right. Ducks up 2-0 right now. Keep going.

That drive was such a DL thing to do. Give them a taste of their own medicine first thing. So in your face.

Can Ty Thompson Raise His Game and Lead Ducks in '24?
Ty's elbow was hit on the interception. I'm not holding that against him. There are still a few throws he needs to work on his accuracy and he is late getting the ball out to the open receiver too. If you extrapolate his improvement from last year through to next year, it is conceivable he can play well enough to be the guy.

A Must Read, Steve Stephens IV Making His Mark On and Off the Field
I think his technique is decent, he just doesn't have D-1 speed to make up for being the slightest bit out of position like Addison does.

Will the Oregon Ducks Face Michigan in the Rose Bowl?
Stats say otherwise. Michigan offense is off almost 20 points with Harbaugh absent. Most of it is the night and day difference in QB play.

Juicy Quotes from the ESPN Crew Towards Oregon...Whew!
In this case it was advantageous to have the ball intercepted downfield and tackled there rather than taking a 10 yard loss. It's should be better taught by position coaches to not intercept a pass on 4th down unless you think you have a clear path back to the line of scrimmage. It just dawned on me there must be some exception that the placeholder can hold a live ball while his knee is on the ground, even when he isn't placing the ball anymore.

Uniform Reveal for Oregon State Game
They absolutely should and will. I assume when they announce each of the seniors Webb will be announced post-humously, and likely with some production fanfare.

Unforeseen QUADRUPLE Payoff Over Next Two Games!
One could think the combination of DeBoer's coaching and the available recruiting infrastructure at A&M would be a deadly combination, but DeBoer's inability to recruit would need to be addressed in some manner before they would actually offer him.

How do you Think the Committee Would React...?
The insidious part of the ranking system is the bias that comes into play when a team loses. When a PAC12 team loses to another PAC12 team they can fall a long ways, like WSU did. Farther than if they were in the B1G or SEC and lost to their conference teams. Now that WSU is considered a poor team due to their losses, it would be devastating for UW to lose to them, even though WSU is Jekyll and Hyde like Stanford and Utah and really punch above their weight When Ward and his receivers get going as we saw when we played them. If this was in Pullman I'd have bigger concerns, but it's in Seattle, so it would require 4 quarters of excellence from WSU with another ASU type outing from UW for an upset to occur. I'll put the odds at about 10%.

Just Came to My Senses About the Pac-12
DL is well aware of the beauty contest we are in. I see the starters playing nearly the entire Civil War game even in a blowout, and 100% of the conference championship even with a blowout. I don't see him slowing tempo in either game until the last drive or two of the 4th quarter either. We must clearly dominate both games. There is no alternative.

USC Makes Offer to Utah Defensive Coordinator
The only person they could find to take this job is: A) A fool B) Somebody that doesn't mind if this is his last coaching job in the big leagues. We saw what LR did to Grinch. That guy had an excellent D under Leach at WSU and now he is a pariah with with multiple years of nearly unlimited resources.

Oregon vs. Miami Fan Loyalty
I certainly felt Oregon fans were extremely loyal to suffer the Cristobal offense after the Kelly/Helfrich years. Mario was pissed for getting boo'd, but at least we showed up, despite the poor product! https://athlonsports.com/college-football/miami-hurricanes-legendary-college-football-program-embarrassing-crowd-senior-day

NEW: Four Football Coaches On Their Second Round of Interviews With MSU
In the article, the reason they give for Fisch being a good candidate is precisely why he wouldn't want the job: he has already lived in Michigan and coached in the big 10. Much better to renegotiate his current salary, be a perennial contender in the Big 12, and enjoy the Tucson, AZ lifestyle. And he's just spent 3 years pulling a team out of the dumpster. Does he really want to start over? At some point the extra millions have diminishing returns.

Bo Nix - Our Second Heisman Winner?
I don't know about the southern vote. Which is better, a west coast boy who portalled to the SEC or a southern boy who portalled to the west? Definitely seems difficult for voters to understand stats that have a different denominator (minutes played) as well as understand the difference it makes to have a QB that calls his owns plays to have the best play against each defensive look every single down.
