Darren Perkins

Yeah, running qb's, to me with rare excepton, are a sign of a team with holes in it. Yup, Riles is exposed, he'd probably be better off in the NFL, really.

Nice points. I think Nix has a great chance to be a good pro player. Has the intangibles, smart, can use his legs when needed. We'll see.....

Yeah, he's made his money, started out at the smaller schools back in the day, this could be his "going home" time in his career.

Will Ucla hire Stein? They need the next new thing and to stop with the good ole BS of "getting an established head coach." That line if thinking gets Oregon Wilcox. Will Ucla have the gumption to make a smart move? Gotta at least kick the tires.

I more afraid of USC than OSU. Trojans have a puncher's chance. I think the Ducks control OSU for a solid home win.

I had that same thought, no puking in mouth, just muttered, "fricken Mario."

Very good, thanks for breakdown!

I laid out all the possibilities. Except for going 0-3. OH CRAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Demoralized." I like it. Let's be the team that makes Williams retire from college football.

Yes, it "feels" as though they should win out. But, ya never know how the ball might bounce. But, I'll take the Ducks to finish 3-0.

Nice breakdown!

Will be a tough challenge. Of course, hopefully not. Hopefully, their D will not play inspired ball with the coordinator change.

Nice, a snake analogy. We shall slither our way to victory!!!

Perhaps elite Recruiting Coordinator and position coach in Mario's case...

The question is where does he coach after his NFL career potentially does not go well (like Saban). Just gotta make sure you go to the NFL with a team with a good QB, otherwise, you're toast.

Agreed.

There is something to be said about winning the first title for a school.

I'm surprised more college stadiums don't have naming rights for sale, I'm sure it is coming. "Darren the Duck Stadium" has a ring to it!!!

Yeah, it is possible the move to the B1G was the clinching, never leave oregon because I have everything I need, factor.

You never really know what motivates people. Lanning seems to be the loyal type and wants to raise his kids in Eugene. But, you just never, ever know for sure.

And there is nothing wrong with being an elite coordinator (wilcox), not everyone is a head coach

Well, aren't we up bright and early this morning! Wonder why, hmmm..... Thanks for being a good sport and still meeting me at midfield for the post-game handshake. 🙂

Yup, we're at the point as a program to talk with confidence and back it up.

If we play Duck football, we win, but of course the Trojans have a knock out punch in their arsenal.

Good call. She's probably a little under the weather herself.
