Urban Meyer and Mark Ingram, both get it.

Sabrina Ionescu calls game for Liberty with unreal 3-pointer - ESPN Video WWW.ESPN.COM Sabrina Ionescu heaves a game-winning triple from near midcourt to seal the Liberty's win over the Lynx in Game 3 of the WNBA...

Right now, Ohio State fans don't hate Lanning and the Ducks as much as their own coach Ohio State's Ryan Day saga: Persistent disappointment in big games WWW.YARDBARKER.COM Day has largely been able to help Ohio State maintain its position among the elite programs in college football, but he's come up...

Absolutely right, Charles. Every time I go out in my Duck jacket and hat, I get, "Go Ducks!", today, there were a lot more people wearing Duck gear, and 3 of us were standing in the check out line at the store, just talking away, never met before! Walking home, more "Go Ducks!" It's been fun for a long time, but this time, it just feels different.

Another great one, really like the yellow helmet, old school with a modern flash.

With all due respect to Curt Cignetti at Indiana, also in his 1st year in the B1G and his 1st year coaching at Indiana. A COY very often goes to the coach who oversaw the most improvement. Indiana was 3-9 last season, are 6-0 now. But Cignetti didn't coach Indiana last season, this is his first year, and it's basically a new team. The COY, if the season keeps going the way it is now is Dan Lanning.

This is the fastest the NCAA has moved on anything.

Which would be great. Haven't played the Nittany Lions since the ;95 Rose Bowl, definitely owe them for that one.

Nicole Auerbach has comforting words for Ohio State: The Buckeyes are still one of the best and most talented teams in the nation even if they couldn't knock off Oregon.

Charles, your article gives me confidence about a rematch with the Buckeyes. They'll definitely have a chip on their shoulders, as well as in the press box, but we've all seen this before. When a team comes out with that fire, if it doesn't ignite immediately, it burns out. Without crazy stuff happening you showed how the last game could have been 43-24. Oregon will be even better by the time the teams meet again, and Burch will probably be available.

Now that order has been restored it's time an assessment of Oregon's new environment: No.1 Oregon: 6-0 (3-0) There really isn't any question about this, unless you're Colin Cowherd or Joel Klatt. No.2 Ohio State: 5-1 (2-1) See above. No.3 Indiana: 6-0 (3-0) Last year Indiana finished 3-9. This year they're undefeated, new players, new coach, the only coach who could challenge Lanning for COY. The toughest game for the Hoosiers is this Saturday against Nebraska. No.4 Penn State: 6-0 (3-0) Eye test just hasn't done it for ne with Penn State and last week they did struggle with USC. No.5 Illinois: 5-1 (2-1) Their biggest win is over Nebraska, lost to Penn State, and just squeaked by Purdue. No.6 Nebraska 5-1 (2-1) Their sole loss is to Illinois. No,7 Iowa 4-2 (2-1) The highlight of the season is the drubbing of Washington. No.8 Michigan 4-2 (2-1) They can't pass, but somehow are 4-2. No.9 Wisconsin 4-2 (2-1) The losses are to USC and Alabama, and somehow don't have a prolific RB this season. No.10 Minnesota 4-3 (2-1) The Golden Gophers have a 27-0 win over Nevada, who just beat Oregon State. 18. UCLA 17. Purdue 16. Maryland 15. Northwestern 14, Michigan State 13, USC 12. Washington 11. Rutgers

Not gonna do it. The Schedule says they should. But they shouldn't be 3-3 now. I just don't see them galvanizing into a machine that reels off 5 wins in a row. They lucked out, missing Ohio State and Oregon. But Maryland, Rutgers @ Washington, Nebraska. I see two L's leading into the game against UCLA.

No pity. OSU has been upgraded to a level where we can really hate them. A rivalry is actually possible. There really is a Buckeyes Nation, but they don't refer to it like that.

Mediocrity isn’t the standard at USC. Period! — Matt Leinart (@MattLeinartQB) October 12, 2024 Beg to differ, Matt. To salvage its season, USC must win its next five games WWW.YARDBARKER.COM USC must run the table in their next five games and head into its Nov. 30 season finale against Notre Dame with an 8-3 record.

The 4th reason is because it was Oregon who did it.

Hall, Howard, Herbstreit, they're all the same to me when it comes to Ohio State QB's

Maybe someone will correct me, but Chip usually went for 2 when the Ducks were up 28 in the 2nd quarter.

It's also extremely annoying when I see. hear, that there was still a second left when Hall went down. The clock was still running, like it does on every play. Over at "Eleven Warriors" they're still going on about the "second" & there's this: Upon review that was a very bad call against Jeremiah Smith with 26 seconds left. The problem being the ball was NOT in the air at that instant so there can't be pass interference - home cooking. Just stop the video at 26 seconds - the ball clearly was still in Howard's hands SMDH

That is the argument used in basketball circles to keep Wilt Chamberlain out of te GOAT discussion. Jeanty is on pace to shatter Barry Sander's season rushing record, a magnificent achievement. But I think there is a reason quarterbacks have dominated the Heisman. A quarterback has to do more than a running back does in a game. Gabriel's game against Ohio State called on him to produce everything, at the highest level, and he will need to match that every game for the rest of the season, and if he does, he'll deserve the Heisman.

Agreed about OSU fans maybe hating Day more than Oregon, but either way it's a win. Cowherd & Klatt weren't impressed at all, to them Ohio State absolutely lost that game, Oregon didn't win. But they can't help it. Before, the Old Guard didn't like Oregon because of the uniforms, the Blur, the FINESSE. But against Ohio State Oregon won in the trenches, without their best DL, outrushed Ohio State, overcame mistakes & penalties. They really hate Oregon now. Oregon dominated the Pac-12 at the end, the B1G is next.

USC and Washington can't help it, Oregon is to blame for everything, and other school's will soon be believers to.

Three of them this Saturday: Miami @ Louisville. the game isn't over until the review has been settled. Alabama @ Tennessee. Tennessee is better than SC who should've beaten Alabama, so Tennessee obviously beats 'Bama, and finally, Georgia @ Texas. Let's go Dawgs, Kirby takes down Sark!

That's it. Clay Helton didn't get hired because he stood out in the crowd of high level candidates. He got it because he was raising his arm and jumping in the empty room and the teacher called on him. As this season goes on, Colin Cowherd & Joel Klatt will think it's a great job. But other than the head coach at the College of the Redwoods, what coach is going to see the USC coach as a step up?

Football is crazy, In a game where Lanning displayed coaching genius with the high velocity onside kick and the timeout-12 men tandem, he still could have blown it going for 2. Fortunately, it didn't end that way, and I don't want Lanning to be a coach whose game plan is dictated by analytics. Just Do It, Lanning.
