I could see Oregon wearing these in this game.

White but with black pants, cleats, and Hemet.

I lost track of where I saw it.. but the three linebackers all have very similar snap counts against Northwestern. Jackson had the most, then Mixon, and then Boettcher. I think Oregon's linebackers are fantastic this year as a group.

I feel linebacker has improved this year.

They have to do SO much that they can get kinda lost in the course of the defense. At times it feels like they're a DB and if they're not getting their name called that's a good thing because the ball isn't being thrown their way.

One of my sons sent this to me this morning.

Do I need to sit down and do my Old Pac-12 rankings again this year? I did it last year for what I thought was the last time but maybe I revisit it once a year.

Beavers are a special animal. Their ability to terraform land is second to none. Studies have shown the most effective solution to increase plant life and wetland in threatened habitats is to leave the construction equipment at home and just drop off a pair of beavers.

They may be great environmental engineers.

But don't let them build / rebuild an athletic conference.

Lupoi would be interesting, he's been a name for a long time without getting a chance as a head coach, so I have no idea how he would operate as a CEO.

I don't think he wants it.

He's been on these lists for quite a while now. Probably 10 years. If he wanted a head coaching job by now he would be as the opportunity would be there.

Wear a black uniform against Oregon State? Really?

Didn't you get the memo..

Black is one of our alternate colors now. We took that from the Beavers as well.

They got 300 mil but we took everything else they love from them.

It's a fair trade when you put it that way.

Not my favorite.

I kinda want some green and yellow because he is an Oregon alum.

I do like the Nike wing on the helmet.

Baylor HC - Dave Aranda - LA guy.

I could see Baylor wanting to move on from Aranda soon.

If you're not in the top tier of college football programs the resource rat race certainly makes things difficult. I'm not sure if Aranda is a god of coach or bad one but at Baylor he certainly doesn't have eh as t he needs at Baylor.

Or, everyone else made the right decision!

Certainly a mixture.

Some was forced into them...everyone else leaving the Pac-12 was out of their control.

Their lack of branding that they could leverage into joining a new conference... That was on them.

Along with a lot of other decisions.

Other than at LSU, is there a D in the SEC?

Florida's defense looked pretty decent. With 5 picks from the offense that's a LOT to put on them. Well... 4 picks one was a pick6.

LSU's defense was bailed out by Florida's penalties. One took an 80yard td off the board.

Hey Gat sorry about your Gators. If the wheels fall off the Gator wagon this year, I would bet you end up with Will Stein as your coach.

Probably Jedd Fisch

Connections to Florida and a pretty decent track record.

A clear sign they made all the WRONG decisions.

They get to be basement dwellers in the new conference of their own making.

Beavis should have snuck out during the weather delay. And Wazzu? Thanks for being the weeds mowed down by The Big Green Machine.

1st huge game of the season next Saturday when OBD faces the top team in the Pac-12, right?

Hey now... The Beavers get the chance to play on the B1G network next weekend!

I couldn't tell too much based on watching on TV but the TV experience is not the in person one.

But there should be rules about piping in noise.

I know other fan bases have accused Autzen of pumping in noise but being there in person you can FEEL the human volume. It is certainly different and disruptive. But it comes at the cost of 50k+ crazy fans.

Not the push of a button.

I know the Pac-12 banned noise makers and I believe most conferences have a similar ban. Autzen still has the noise maker ban.

If noise makers are banned so should pumping in sound to disrupt the opposing team.

Sleepy start ... Moore took a while to warm up. Even his pitch to Limar on the touchdown was a bit off target Limar caught it around his head.

Ducks got rolling in the middle.

Lanning and company took their foot off the gas too early. The 79 yard touchdown was a gut punch to an otherwise solid game. Pulling Moore after his interception instead of putting him back in to rack up another touchdown for the team felt too early. The Ducks should have had their foot on the gas for one more series before pulling the starters.

I also get that Lanning doesn't care so much about the final score as he is preserving his players for a LONG playoff schedule but with so many new faces I couldn't help but feel Dante Moore could have just used another series on the road.

Oregon's line is getting owned

Still haven't allowed a sack at least.

Run game is struggling to get rolling. Those inside runs aren't going anywhere.

Our offensive line needs to wake up a bit more here. Getting beat..

I wish purchase would have stayed with his man

Considering how quick backup was coming. Staying with his man would have been the right choice. At least until the QB ran past the los

Wasn’t it Jordan Davison who carried the ball for the 1st down? I don’t think Harris has played yet.

Yeah I was wrong. Got my numbers confused.

But... Harris did get a carry later.

Just now, Krsmqn said:

It feels like I've only watched 2 minutes of football and 30 minutes of commercials...

And northwestern players standing around..

Runningback rotation so far...

Limar

Harris (short yardage carry as a fullback)

Hughes ... Hasn't carried yet but was on the field at the end of the first.

Interesting...

Ducks looked sleepy... I think they are starting to wake up.

I’m wondering how the YAC allowed per game compares so far with last year’s statistic? It seems to me with a small sample that the Ducks are tackling much better.

Compared to our stats after game 2 last year.... a LOT less. Jeanty was hot or cold against Oregon but still put up a lot of yards. Oregon held him under 2 yards per carry for a majority of the game but he still ripped off a couple long runs to change that overall average.

We haven't had a real test against the run just yet but keeping lesser opponents contained on the run game is a good start.
