"But, SCHTOOPID... "? Maybe "Dumb, like a FOX?"

Oregon 54-17 3 3 456

I've questioned the need for anything beyond an 8 team playoff since the discussion began. There is no need to go beyond a P5 auto qualifier from each conference, plus 3 at large qualifiers

Well that's crummy way to see Franklin leave the game! Incredible concentration maintaining the ball security in the midst of that painful shock! Too bad, because he may have scored...

Dadgum... Underwhelming 1st quarter, so far. Hope Cota is ok!

I saw this thread after I posted... Good catch, Charles!

Oregon Ducks 52-17 3 3 325

Personally, I have thought all along that an 8 team playoff would be more appropriate at the college level. Conference Title Games may need to become a part of history, to streamline the # of games invitees participate during the season. The potential for serious injury as the season wears on becomes considerably more likely, the longer the process take. I have no doubt mine is not a majority position in the debate.

Barring that, when your "competition bolts for more 'lugubrious climes" because it's soooo embarrassing to share a piece of the pie with lowly Oregon...

He was the one responsible, more than anyone else on the field, for perfectly executing the on side kick and recovery that ultimately set the tone for the rest of the game. Well done, indeed!

The heck with it. Have Dilly as associate HC#coach in waiting... Lanning sends his kids off to college, and Dilly can step in when CDL graduates to the next level. Natural progression has it's place.

As Bill Murray once said, " We CAME! We SAW! WE KICKED IT"S #!?$! "

Whittington literally pulled up, and waited for the UCLA D to approach, prior to going into the slide. It actually burned a little bit of extra time with that move.

I'm rooting for the SEC to implode and eat their own young similar to PAC tradition...

It appears that while DTR's grasp of the English language is somewhat superior to that of 'Squints', his grasp of cognitive reality may be equally flawed...

Clock Management, Guts, and sportsmanship... That last pass by Bo was obviously never intended to be completed... It was just a way to finish the game on an emphatic, defiant statement to the rest of the college football world. Most pundits will never understand the reasoning behind it. BTW, when was the last time anyone started methodically kneeling the ball with 2+ minutes to go in a game? I thought it was a sign of class and maturity from OBD!

Oregon / 44-27 /4 / 3 / 324

Guinness Draught, anyone? I once had that at the ESPN ZONE at Downtown Disney in Anaheim (My late son and I used to do that any time we had the Grand-kids at Disneyland during football season.) while watching OBD were playing. pound an opponent into the dust. (It was a limited edition, Honey Gold, or something like that. I'm not a beer lover, but that was good stuff!) Oh, heck! CK was our coach, at the time!

Coach even threw up one of the better "O's" I've seen..

I'm ready to see more qb stops, rather than the scampering signal callers achieving implausible escapes for completions or scrambling for first downs. It's time to start being a more complete defense.

This could be a "SlobberKnocker!!!" SmackDown Saturday! Bama, Notre Doomed, USC... What more can a Duck fan wish for? You CAN win BYE WEEK! This is QUACKERS!

Had to have been to punish the Utes for trying to return the int.

Utah earned that! Great job! Surprised there was no flag on the last play... No initiative from the PAC12 crew? (Tongue firmly in cheek!)

Wow! Holy Carp! Rising is on fire tonight. Nice hold on the return...

Utah "Rising" to the occasion?
