All schools are looking at Indiana. Their turnaround happened in one season! Everyone now wants a Cigneti-type coach.

I think Dante was off, timing-wise. He threw a couple ahead and behind schedule. Our receiving corp are pretty darn sure-handed but Sediq diving, turning back for catches, and the one handed catch that was called an incompletion all would have been catches with better timing by Dante. Would I trade Dante for another QB? Nope! He doesnt throw up prayers, ala Mendoza and Penix, that his young receivers (if they were as young as OBD) have to catch to inflate his stats. Mendoza, is lucky his receiver are older and have the experience to be circus clowns with their catches. On a side note, did you hear the talking heads say earlier in the week that if Dante, chose to leave early he would be the #1 QB of the NFL draft? That's with Mendoza winning the Heisman. There is more "upside" to Dante than Mendoza.

I warned Penn State fans, when I was at State College: "Be careful of what you wish for--Nebraska got rid of their reliable winning coach for the same reason." VT just wants to be in bowls and the playoff conversation for at least 12 years...

AND instead of parlaying that major win into national stardom...Beavis opted to go back to mediocrity! Oregon parlayed Joey's good season into a Heisman campaign and NATIONAL brand recognition... Weird how one team made the B1G and the other didn't! I think the SEC would've taken OBD but then again they wouldn't have wanted to play in Eugene every other year!! GO DUCKS!! Bust the condoms...

Remember OBD are NOT supposed to handle the B1G "true" bloods like they were Pac12 has-beens!!

Love me some golf!

Dammit this Duck bites back! Not like my Hawkeye chew toy...

I would love for OBD to be in the game and win it this year! I had a great time at it last year!! Take the B1G two straight years? HELL YES!!

That is my favorite of this series!!

I love how "fans" have praised Stein's offense for wins but now are posting/perpetuating his offense after a loss! If you're going to be critical, be that, but don't two-face your criticism after a loss! The team is good. The O line has been an issue for two previous games, Northwestern and PSU, but the win made it better! With a loss we have people saying the OC is to blame?? If you believe in your own hype, another team will knock you down a peg, which is poison. As a fan, if you don't pull the rose-colored glasses off, you will be swallowed by the hype. We have a very good team but injuries and the hype poison will affect every team. Learn from the loss and become greater!!

I don't care who we get as a guest picker for GameDay but can "we" please, the love all things Ducky, get every fan in Autzen to wear yellow??! It was awesome to see all of PSU fans, some Ducks, in white! I don't care if you "don't look good in yellow," it would be really nice to see some unity! The only game I remember, ever, where every fan wore the same color was "Fright Night" against USC (black is not a color). That was, still, the loudest game I have ever attended at Autzen. Side note: Beaver Stadium was loud but not even close to Autzen's second loudest game, the *uckeyes!

I'd say Tennessee ranks pretty high! Never has an offensive line and most QBs have failed. OBD Marcus was thrown to the lions with that team even though the team loved him, they couldn't protect him and help him thrive!

I guess I didn't get my wish...I want OBD to fly under the radar and just stay at #6 or drop another couple of spots--old Pac-12 rank syndrome. I want everyone to believe that OBD suck and can't win games, take them lightly, and write them off until they blow the doors out of the "ranking" systems!

I guess I was in the minority. I "knew" Dante was going to be the man. After enduring the Bruin beatings, then choosing to sit behind Gabriel to learn, and having back-ups that looked "better" than him in the Spring game. I told my friends, that I grew up with from grade school, that Danté was going to be the man and they were going to be shocked! The Moore to Moore combination was going to be electric. I have not been wrong, in that regards, but I will eat crow in believing the Tosh is OBD Achilles heal.

With all three phases equal, player make-up, it comes down to coaches. Which team, of the last 8 teams, has the best coaches/staff (most prepared)? Answer: OBD! SCO Ducks!!

JJ, thank you for the reminder "Don't Worry." I haven't been worried or been fearful of a loss all season...even when asked by Beavis (and others) about wisco and psu. Confident enough to buy flights to and from Atlanta. Anyone want to split my Airbnb with me (whole place)? SCO Ducks!!

Dan is, rightfully so, getting his props from some of the pundits! Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I definitely prefer Dan on OBD sideline versus going against him!! SCO Ducks!!

You know someone at a bar told me that osu decided not to blitz OBD the first time around and that's why OBD won the game?? So it wasn't the fact that the O-line was just better than the D? It's amazing that OBD has the smartest, craftiest coach that has done more with "less" overall talent than osu! Money can buy you championships, ta&m, if you have the coach and staff to lead the young men! Oregon can, and will, out play and coach osu for another win.

That's awesome! I am actually hedging my bets and bought my flight to Atlanta and gotten an Airbnb for 5 days. Let's GO Ducks!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Here's my BOLD prediction: Moore will thrive next year, Smith Jr. and Sagapolutele will redshirt. Sagapolutele will take the QB1 spot in year 2 and Austin and Jake will transfer out. Sagapolutele will be OBD 2nd Heisman. ...And OBD will win 2 out of the next 3 National Championships.

Will Beavis and Butthead lend these schools their lawyers? They took away voting power from the departing Pac12 schools, even though they didn't depart early...to steal all the money they didn't earn.

Dillon wins the Chicago Tribune Silver Football. One of just a few QBs to win the trophy!

I hope he waits for a better offer but, if not, I wish him luck! I believe in his ability to coach.

I have two pills for my PTSD: Dan Lanning and Dillon Gabriel. When I am really in need I add Tez Johnson and Matayo Uiagaelei into the rotation of pills and I'm way relaxed brah!! Let's GO Ducks!! OOOOOOOOO

Bring on the playoffs!
