Agreed, it does look like things are shaping up nicely for next year. good points

Good points. Marrying great talent with great coaching is the goal. Conversely, TCU in 2022 and UW in 2023 were not elite in talent, but made it to the big game. There's always exceptions either way.

Thanks, Mike. Yes, time will tell...

It could happen. The stage will be huge, and the players should be ready to roll, as opposed to the possible shoulder shrugging and feigned intensity that might have occurred last weekend. But, we'll see!!!

Good points, and things that will have the coaching staff getting on the team and motivating them for the next game.

And some of that would be how the opposing teams dials up the offense given the way the game is going, but you're not wrong.

Giving us all flashbacks to the Indiana game. Nooooo!. But, you're right, and the O-line and offensive game planning have to be on to keep the QB from getting rattled. Good ole coaching.

True, but if the Ducks have already peaked, then yikes! I'm optimistically praying that they have not.

Thanks. Credit to JMU in the first half, they were probably playing their best offensive ball of the year ("peaking"), there's a reason they did go 12-1. But, the ducks kept them out of the end zone. But, sure, it's something to look at, for sure.

Great points. Oregon at it best is better than TT at their best. It's just a matter if getting it done.

Thanks. I hear ya, nice references, but im referring to this single, solitary season, and I dont think the Ducks have played their best yet. And, also, why Im not too concerned about the JMU 2nd half. The time is now!!!!

Sure, we've enjoyed the ride of the season and what each and every game brings. Im not discounting that. Simply put, I feel if the Ducks lose to Texas Tech that they fell short of where I believe they should be. If they get to the semis then in my book they've have gotten to where they should be. Anything more than that of course would be dreamy. And, embellishing in the title a little with a word like "bust" to hopefully draw interest? No, not me! 😛😉

Well, we'll see if Lanning's "peaking at the right time" plan pans out.

Yeah, Texas Tech should be in the category you mentioned. But. Ya never know....
