Where the 2025 Ducks peak depends on the QB play in my mind. Ball security, execution under pressure, and pocket presence coupled with leadership will determine the outcomes and record. I have confidence in the other position groups and the skills of the individual players.

I do not believe that the ACC is saved until 2036. Clemson and Florida State won in the settlement and the A CC lost. Teams can now leave the conference for under $100 million. Before the amount approached $500 million. In today’s environment of CFB $100 million is “affordable”. The ACC is held back by the teams at the bottom of the conference. I believe that FSU and CU will bolt from the ACC in 2027-2028 prior to the next round of media contracts in the SEC and B1G. The ACC, somewhat like the Pac12, did too little too late and made mistakes which will most likely become fatal to the conference. Them winds they are a changing.

My adult daughter and I are driving to PA. We are booked both Friday and Saturday nights in the north Altoona area at the Comfort Inn and Suites, Duncansville. The hotel is estimated 50 minutes from the Beaver Stadium. We have reserved parking. Game tickets are WHU, Row 74. Go, fight, win DUCKS!

Any votes for “Old Yeller”?

An odd addition. DL and TL know their stuff. Show me!

J-Stew or Mel Renfro. Royce was a beast of a different style and skill.

James Phillips has numbered days. When he opens his mouth too often all that come out is nonsensical fluff. Fluff Fluff Fluff. ACC members deserve better.

It seems to me that the Buckeyes have been peaking in the playoffs. They are worthy of becoming the champion.

OSU recognized Gabriel’s height and exploited it with high arms and hands while rushing. There were tipped balls, scrambles and arm slot adjustments in reaction thereby impeding Gabriel’s passing. This is one of a number of causes of the route.

Nick Saban points to Ohio State-Oregon matchup as issue with CFP bracket - ESPN Video WWW.ESPN.COM Nick Saban tells Pat McAfee how seeding College Football Playoff teams differently would create better games and a fairer tournament.

Stein is a prodigy wizard, but he is still young and relatively inexperienced as an OC. With all respect to Stein I think that Dillingham calls a better game and the sequencing of plays is better.

Unleash Oregon. Hear, Hear! Stampede the flock.

Seal the edges and plug the middle. The Ducks offense will do its job.

“We've said it a million times, Dan Lanning, I feel like they get who they want, and they are all over Jackson Cantwell. Do not sleep on the Ducks."
