UCLA changed up their defense a bit. They are playing a safety or two deep which is messing with some of the game plan I'm sure. But the run game.is getting good chunks so run the ball!

Are our kickers caused??? Missing PATs is not great and that's the second one this year.

More rushing plays!!! James is getting good chunks. Let him run and set up the offense.

Also... We could use some more rushing plays. Feels like we are forcing the pass game at times tonight.

UCLA still has a good few players from LA... Only they were the ones rejected by the Ducks because the roles in LA have reversed. That and apparently there are 5 former Ducks on their roster. I knew there were 2 ... Not 5

I'm not loving the darker shade of yellow. I know it's retro but I like retro uniforms more of a sometimes thing.

Better check the score!!!! Also.. Go Ducks good first possession.

Yeah... Bama is destroying Georgia. I don't think Georgia is as good as the rankings have indicated. Their close call against Kentucky showed some faults. Granted it also looks like Bama is a very good team.

I'm with you there... I'm more invested in Clemson v Stanford... Lol

They absolutely must get them upon entry into the game. Too many and too uniform to be a spur on the moment thing. When I was writing an article before the season started I noticed there was one game in 2017 against Nebraska where Oregon did give out pom poms.

Kentucky right now is the team NO one wants to play.

He will land somewhere but I doubt he'll land anywhere better.

Unless the loser is out right demolished. Then they might drop into the top 15ish... But we're talking a loss of 3+ touchdowns for that to happen.

I'm not sure Portland State can afford to be an FBS team for starters even with more money. And then they'll be basement dwelling for a very long time. Like they'd be the basement. Eastern Washington would be a far better option. But once they start digging into the FCS pool they look even more desperate. They really should have lined up all 6 members they wanted to add before announcing anything.

Oregon 49-0 (yes going for the shutout! I'll be wrong by the second quarter though) 2 turnovers 4 Sacks 307 Passing

The biggest factor that they get out of having highly talented players local are the unofficial visits. These are visits that players pay for themselves and show up to the school and get to be around the staff and players. If the big recruits are local these happen ALL the time. Oregon getting unofficial visits usually means that player and their family is getting on several planes to make it to Eugene. It's a cost in time and money. Unlimited Official Visits Will Only Make College Football Worse |... FISHDUCK.COM College Football has always been composed of the “haves” and “have-nots” and that isn’t going to change, but there is a desire to make the sport more…

In terms of traditional recruiting Oregon is always going to have a disadvantage due to location. But we'll get enough star power to build a strong roster and stack classes. But it's Lanning's ability to dive into he portal so far that has really separated him from other teams. However, we will get a better view of this team next year when those youngsters he's brought in will be upper classmen and will begin taking more reps and owning the team. Keep in mind that Smart and Saban recruited five stars not with the thought they'd play on day one but rather they become the backbone of the team in year 2-4. We haven't quite seen that out of Lanning's team just yet.

I would ALSO like a tight end... I have a feeling we'll get one soon enough.

I think the defense for against allowing mid season transfers goes to school enrollment. Enrollment closes on classes at some point and athletes moving to different institutions during a season cannot necessarily enroll in classes which is still a major component of college athletics. As it stands right now they still need to be students.

Depends on the recruiting service. Some services do take the quantity into account while others do not for their final rankings. But the biggest thing that usually matters is average rating. If you sign 30 3 stars that's not better than signing 15 4 stars.

Cal is the team that I do think they have the most potential and the most to prove. Cal would be a lot higher if they beat FSU who doesn't look all that good. As always with my power rankings which I have posted in the past though always as a Forum post and not an article, these are snapshot in time. In a week or two I think that Cal rises up these rankings and OSU may fall a bit.

That was a big one.... And it should hopefully get the ball rolling again in recruiting.

Sanders is in year two at Colorado and he did increase their win total by a good margin in his first year from the previous year. It's normal for any coach in that position to have a cool seat. But I'd be shocked with Sheduer makes it through the season without some sort of game affecting injury. If the sacks keep coming his body won't stand up to it all.

Interesting development... But Lanning wasn't interested in him the first time around. I kinda doubt he'll be interested this time around.
