I was thinking about the Utah game of 2022. Nix was injured and playing on one leg and the Utah defense zeroed into stopping the run at all costs and Nix was able to pass just enough to give the Ducks a fighting chance. But in that game it was the Oregon defense that came up HUGE and won the game on their backs. However, I did run out of room for an article and in the end every game is important.

"So-and-so is a good football team" Doesn't matter who it is they always a good team. I get that it is a sign of respect but still.

Streaming isn't so bad. It's the fear of something new that is the biggest thing. The clickers have FEWER buttons and the interface is pretty clean. I'm sure you'll take to it in no time.

It actually looks like a Colorado player is holding an Oregon player in this picture... I'm pretty sure THAT is cheating.

Anything about a "Gimmick" or something being "gimmicky" If it works and is within the rules of the game then it's a valid strategy. Most strategies have weaknesses and are exposed at some point.

The Ducks didn't need to cheat... That Colorado O-line was so bad that Shaduer was running for his life at the snap. There wasn't anything clever about the Oregon pass rush besides... we have bigger guys and they are going to run over the smaller guys. And guess what... repeat the same thing for the offensive side of the ball. Nix had pass protect for days and that back end coverage couldn't keep Franklin and Tez down. What extra information did we need to exploit? Their weak line play was on display for the previous three weeks! Also... this is making my article for tomorrow look a bit more interesting now. So stay tuned for my FishDuck article tomorrow morning!

I don't think 4E would be that bad... but if you replace Harbuagh with a Michigan fan. Now it's explosive.

3C ... but it might be shockingly boring between those two. 1E could be fun. 3F might be spicier than it looks.

Cheap bright yellow poncho that just goes over the top of a coat. It works well enough though not ideal.

It looks like there are at least ways to access it. It might be through the Foxsports app which the Hulu login would work for at least.

If you have Disney+ and/or Hulu already then going for Hulu +Live TV is a better deal than YouTube TV just because it all bundles. Though I wish there was just a college football sports package because I probably won't use it for much else and it is still rather expensive.

I am sure DJU also decided to transfer one more time, and this time to FSU, because the NIL payout has to be pretty good. Especially for someone who was probably projected rather low in the draft or not at all. The NIL game is changing everything about when players enter the NFL draft, even star players.

Welcome! I think a year or two ago Penn State did have two white out games... but once a year as a standard is very very special. I do think Duck fans are pretty good on the whole in wearing the correct color. I just think it could be a whole lot better. And sometimes to get it right it does require giving out free t-shirts at the door. I do feel that Oregon's highlighter yellow is something special and unique in college football, because it's so off the wall bonkers, and I would love to see more of it.

This highlights the continued problem that stretches back to the BCS era. It doesn't matter if who you play as long as you win out. Some teams, usually blue bloods or teams in the SEC, are given mulligans for one loss (now two).

I'd argue that we don't need the FCS schools to start the season. But signing up for a match against a power 4 powerhouse is also probably not a wise decision. Certainly not anymore being in the B1G. But I will say that that Georgia game, and massive loss, was important to building the program. It showed everyone inside the program that they need to work to get there and what holes they had on the roster.

There is also talk floating around in a couple articles I saw that the MW might not even want them. If that's the case then they really are doomed. This year the MW is happy to take their money and incorporate them into scheduling.

But if Florida loses to a Cristobal led Miami team they might be in the market for a new coach ... Potentially a coach who is an alumni and currently resides in Washington. So I'm rooting for a Miami win because it might lead to more Husky tears!

To make matters worse for them it appears UCONN may be headed to the Big 12. I haven't seen any talk of Oregon State and Washington State making it into the Big 12. Though I do believe they will have to buy their way in.

Interesting that Oregon State is given an 11-1 record. I suppose the thinking is that as long as that one loss is to Oregon, as it should be, that wouldn't hurt their chances if they beat everyone else in their G5 schedule.

Flip him, flip him, FLIP HIM!!!!!

He's still a good coach... but I seriously doubt he wants to recruit in this day and age... Especially now that everyone can pay players legally.

These can be great recruiting tools. A little glimpse into the workings at Oregon while not giving away anything. How many kids are going to watch these and consider the Ducks because of it? Don't know... impossible to really know... but this will have an eventual impact on recruiting.

I remember reading an article years ago when Tennessee was prepping to play Jackson and the Ravens and Mariota emulated Jackson. I Tennessee players said he didn't as good or better than Jackson and prepared them incredibly well. It just points to how poorly Tennessee coached Mariota and how they didn't build a scheme for him but just tried to plug and play and it failed. Herbert is a typical prostyle build with prostyle abilities so he is very much plug and play. Mariota is not and needs a scheme to allow him to be himself.

Black is a bit strange at night. The stadium does look kinda empty with it but at the same time there is a lot of noise coming from semi emptiness. It's a strange effect. But I think bright yellow reflecting light all under the lights would be far more spectacular.

Tennessee didn't invest in an offensive line and he got destroyed with them. His confidence was shaken as a result and he suffered multiple injuries that took quite a while to heal. Also Tennessee had multiple coaching and offensive coordinator changes which is always hard. Especially when they insist on their scheme and don't modify it to fit the talents of a very talented quarterback. They wanted a strict pro style offense... Mariota needs some spread elements to flourish. After that he's bounced around and maybe now he's finally settling. An article I read sounded like he was in the running for the starting job. At this point he's happy to make a very good living on being a backup. Though if he can pull off the starting job there could be three Oregon QBs starting in the NFL!!!
