SDSU was seen as a good target by the Pac-12 before the break up because they are in a good market and they do take sports fairly seriously. They do have potential to be a power conference team and market if given time and resources. Fresno has been good but isn't this year. They'll probably be fine in the future but they don't have the growth potential of SDSU... Oddly enough I think SDSU might eventually outgrow G6 status.

Two things I'd like to note about this event. 1. I think Gabriel has really bonded with his team now. He needed to be held back by Tez. He was livid with that play. Later on when Holdrn was horse collared he was again livid with the Bruin's dirty play. Also quick note ... Even though Addison was on last year's team he left before Gabriel joined. So for Addison this game was taking it to his former team but Gabriel doesn't have any past history with Addison as he was gone before Gabriel was in Eugene. 2. Targeting penalties are often not about player safety but the show of player safety. I wrote this article a few years ago and I still feel that the sport isn't actually addressing player safety when it comes to targeting. It's all for show... If they were serious about player safety there would be a lot more measures in place when we see hits like that. The Targeting Rule is Not About Player Safety | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM The NCAA recently announced changes to the targeting rule. These changes are not yet in effect, but there will be a vote in April to adopt these proposals.

Targeting can be called from the booth as a replay foul. So it doesn't need to be called on the field during the course of play. So the refs and the booth refs failed big time on this one.

He handed the ball off for one play and then took a knee. If we see him again I'd say there might be something brewing behind the closed doors of practice. But for now I think it could be something as simple as rewarding him for his hard work. If he threw some passes I think we'd have more of a talking point but he just closed out the game. Other quick thought... When closing out the game it could also be protecting Moore. UCLA was playing pretty rough and dirty. I think they wanted to avoid a Vernon Adams like incident where Adam's former team aggressively went after him in that game. Might be the same here. Don't give Moore's previous team a shot at taking a shot at him.

I just looked at UCLA's schedule. They'll be lucky to win one or two more games this season. This is going to be a long and awful season for Bruin fans. Happy to play our part.

Shouldn't OSU and WSU see who they lost to and invite those teams? But if they do that they might not be kings of the rejects????

Didn't feel like a complete game. Defense was fantastic. Holding an opponent to 6 points is great. That is much fewer than UCLA's precious opponents. The offensive restarted hot and cooked with half time adjustments and I think the pick 6 bothered Gabriel more than it should have. Also ... James was running the ball for about 5 yards a carry and we're not feeding him enough. Solid win but as Charles said... We're not there yet.

And we played SOOO bad that game.. Like we were actively working to lose that game.

7th! I'm only half joking.

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
