Duck 1972

It could also being the coaches asking them to leave to free up scholarships. Especially since they didn't recruit them to the program. Because of all the coaching changes in CFB especially at major schools is why I believe the portal has exploded this year. If you also add in the covid exemption it's a lot harder to get HS players and portal incomers. You are going to have to many players under scholarship so the only solution is to have previous players leave. Sad but true IMHO.

B Williams was playing at all PAC 12 last year before he got hurt in a walk through at practice. A freak accident if there ever was one. He will be back.

Haven't been paying that much attention to the rating agencies but will defer to those who have been. Wouldn't it be a better qualifier to rate the production of the players to see if they match the projected stars if even possible.

It also helps to have won a natty or 2. We have got to break the glass ceiling to gain that respect IMHO.

I do think Deboer is a good coach. We will see if he can do anything. He does have some advantages to work with.

No East, Mid or South Coast bias. Never! I know the PAC except for us and Utes probably shouldn't be highly thought of recently but the reason has never been a bias.

Everyone is forgetting that it's not just Conerly that we are beating out USC on. DB Florence, DL Pome'e and now WR Kasper also. Let's get the story straight.

2 great tall recruits and transfer by coaches Adams, Dillingham and Lanning. Things are so bright in our WR room they gotta wear shades .

He also turned down Miami. His dad and him liked MC but they are known as a running team. Let's you know why we had trouble getting WRs until we got our previous WR coach who brought in Franklin, Thornton and Brevard even with that impediment.

All the years for me from the 70's to now my most hated team is the fuskies. From the start through the 90's I had to eat them beating us and letting us know how much better they were than us. Even after we started being competitive and beating them it was just we were lucky, the refs cheated them, etc etc. Now after 25 years of dominating them you think they would just take it like a nice puppy dog but nooo! Once a butt sniffer always a butt licker. Nouf said.

U win some u lose some.

Very articulate. Like his persona. Like his philosophy. We are going to shock the naysayers.

I kinda agree with him. He played well the 2 prior seasons. Had a rough patch then was benched and replaced by some hot shot freshmen that wasn't good enough to keep the job. I would have been pissed too. What about a coach putting his players in the best position to succeed. Looks like Riley just threw him under the bus, to me.

In la la land you can bet the players will only have their minds on FB

Wow wouldn't that be something!

Way to go Ducks. Fly High.

Can someone who is a better typer and researcher do a poll on who the members of the forum with decorum believe is the greatest Duck. I believe it's LM James.

The best don't brag about themselves they let their actions inspire others. This is a reflection of honesty and integrity which I posit is a basis for increased results from personal relationships to leadership. The proof will be in the pudding which we will see soon enough. Go Ducks Fly High

It could be used as a reward for the past week at practice.

I think they rotated from game to game with the high profile players being most often.

Son I built this now it's in your hands. Make us proud. if I was coach Brooks this is what I would have said.

First chink in Rileys armor.

The " come back kids".

All I can say is wait and see. College football players have the greatest impact and transformation from their freshmen year to their sophomore year. That is when you'll see what kind of potential they have. I see we are going to shock the naysayers. Bring it on, we will be ready!

They have a virus. We got in their head ha ha. Also 1 of the Georgia OL is transferring to FSU. Oops
