[Will Riley Change Oregon's Recruiting? Maybe...]

Agreed especially the 8 game league schedule.

Thanks for the link. 

[OU's QB Spencer Rattler Enters Transfer Portal]

Miller would be different by coming from tOSU as a sophomore, wouldn't he?

[Mario Cristobal previews Pac-12 Championship Game]

Thanks for the post.

[Mario's Mom is a Fighter]

Not good. we need full attention on Friday. I don't believe it's possible.

[Be Honest....Was that Offense on Saturday ENTERTAINING to YOU?]

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that we seem to get a big lead and our players think the game is over (and act like it) when there's still a lot of time left.

 

I believe it's mental. A let down always follows. Again this seems to be what young teams do.

[Looks like the Huskies are going with Kalen DeBoer from Fresno State]

Any coach. Go Fish

[OU's QB Spencer Rattler Enters Transfer Portal]

Mario hasn't used the portal much. can't see him use it for a QB. There is one name I just saw that interested me.

 

4* QB Jack Miller out of tOSU. Would be a sophomore. If our coaches don't feel our current crop of QBs are sufficient, what about him?

I dont blame him -moving to the SEC was/is a bad move for OK as far as future wins go.

I thought a competitive coach would want to be in the SEC. Playing against the best.  Guess not.

[Are we being too hard on Coach C?]

I agree. I just got off a site on Google about Texas A&M 247 sports and tried to foreword it here but was unable to.

 

Anyway, it was talking about the derailment of Texas A&M season due to injuries. It seems they were talking about games not season missed. 

 

I think that's the key thing everybody's is missing when we think of this team.

 

I believe young, untested teams struggle on the road. We were 6/0 at home. Lost 2 on the road. Beat tOSU when we were still relatively healthy and seasoned.Compare that with the loss at Stanford and the debacle at Utah.

 

We are 9 starters down. 10/2. And playing for our 3rd Pac championship. To me it is simply amazing what they are doing this year. The players and yes even the coaches should be proud of what they are doing. And so should the fans IMHO.

[OC Replacement Candidates for Coach Moorhead?]

Somebody that will mesh with our young OB's

[Akron is NOT a Coaching Destination...]

How would this be a better job. Potentially playing for the Natty vrs a lower tier team? I would be worried about another Power 5 team.

[Riley Doesn't just put USC back on Top]

He never developed a great defense at OU and although he made it to the PO he got creamed

[Departing Coaches, Transfer Portal and Immediate Eligibility]

It is what it is. The relationship between players and coaches is one of the reasons these boys turn into men. Isn't that the point of sports?

How about just eliminating field goals and extra points and starting each team at 25 yd line?  TD or no count.

I like it. But starting at 10 or 15 yards

"The Ducks have had no repeat starting lineups on offense or defense all season, 21 different offensive players have started a game this season, and 22 different defensive players have started a game this season.  When the Ducks left the football field on Saturday afternoon with a spot in the Pac-12 Championship game, they did it without 16 players who were not available or got hurt in the Oregon State game from the team's Week 1 Depth Chart."

We LOST 9 starters.  wonder if any of the top teams had had so much disarray, if they would be smiling right now,  even Georgia. Don't think so.

It's quite possible that barring the injuries the Ducks had that they could've come close to those wishes of 40-O, 20-D.

I agree. I know all teams have injuries but we are down 9 starters from start of season

[Sometimes the Officiating Helps Oregon]

I don't believe the targeting foul is anything but smelly. I think intentionally launching should be the only factor.

[Pac-12 ADs Surprise Head Coaches]

U can bet other teams are saying that to their recruits

Players seem to like Herm.  Letting him go before early signing in December risks jumps to the portal and recruiting flips.  Not the right time to make the change.
 

And is it better for ASU to let Herm stand in front of the NCAA firing squad when they announce penalties for recruiting mistakes?  Herm may be more forgivable in person.

 

[Oregon: Best Rushing Defense in Pac-12?]

I did. We shut everyone down except the Utes. That's why I thought we would win at Utah. Thought wrong!!!

[Is Cristobal the Best Coach in the Pac-12?]

I definitely agree. Check it out. I believe you will to. But doubt it, rest of league hates us

[Oregon Wants Payback, Utah]

After predicting a win over the Utes 2 wks ago, can't go there. 

 

I'm convinced our youth is hurting us just to much. Even though it's a neutral site it's not Autzen. We have played well at home and jumped on a lot of teams there but on the road not so much. That's what young teams do.

 

Also the problem with the defense has stopping the 12/13 personnel. 

 

I'm always hopeful but!!!!

[A Prediction I Did Not Expect]

Also Altheron has us up on Utah and they have done a good job of getting a feel for the game.

[Oregon: Respect? No. Derision? Yes.]

That's why I believe the "alliance" should isolate eSECpn let them play with themselves and the rest of us have our own league, playoffs and championship.

[Oregon’s Offense is Becoming Watchable]

This week would be perfect.
