As an old offensive lineman...your suggestion, David, makes logical sense. But in practice--it can be tougher. Yes, I could play both sides, but I was better on one side, I LIKED one side, and now translating every play to the other side with different steps and timing--it is hard. Not to mention pass protection; a player simply might be better on the same side consistently, as they are accustomed to repelling the defensive line techniques. I understand they flip players around, but this may not be the solution...even if it does make sense. Tomorrow I will have my own offensive line analysis with what I see as the problems, and what we can do to overcome them.

Good to get a "Blah" combination out of the way before the B1G season... (Video is only 23 seconds)

Oh, it was meant to be a Red-Flag for everyone to be aware of going forward.

I was kidding, but I am also a Shameless Beggar who never said he was noble. Fun stuff!

That running back is for real, as he is slippery like Reuben Droughns was, powerful like LaGarrett Blount, and has break-away speed like LaMichael James. However, the Bronco defensive backs look very vulnerable...IMHO.

Agreed. I may be guilty of expecting too much and too soon. Last year....Tez Johnson really did not get going until the second half of the season, and then went wild. This might apply here... My FishDuck Friends,....I will have my thoughts, screenshots and videos of the issues with our blocking on Friday. At this point, I am more blown away than the Idaho defensive linemen were...

Stein threw bombs eight times a game at UTSA... Stewart is ideal, as he comes down with 50/50 balls most of the time.

We will disagree. Based upon what I've seen of his arm, and prior Oregon QBs...those were missed opportunities. That is, if you have your feet ready; if you have to set your feet and throw--the opportunity is lost, IMHO. But what do I know?

You know me—I am not a suck-up. I will call it as I see it, even if unpopular. He is a record-setting quarterback…what is going on?

The Pig-2 have no idea where they are going...

A very kind thought, but I am more of a "whine" guy, than "wine" guy. There HAS to be some good IPAs in Northern California? 😛

Take the points and the win. OBD will....

I stand corrected--sounds good!

Noah does not have another year; this is it. I have faith that Coach Samples sees the same thing and begins to work Jay Harris into some PT.

Good. Now put your nose to the grindstone and work your way back!

Great post, and unfortunately....he is still learning-on-the-job. Saban and Smart had a learning curve, and so does Dano, and apparently in an area we did not anticipate. It is unfortunate, that like Mario...he does not learn quickly. How many times does he have to fail on 4th down on his side of the 50 yard line, and help the opponent? This might be the same. Dano might be pretty smart, but stubborn to a fault. As an old Greybeard-age fan, it is frustrating to watch coaches have to learn stuff that we as fans have witnessed and learned over the years.

I might have a digital copy later....

This is not new, as it has been known for months, and why I added Peacock to my Comcast package seven months ago. So there are no further surprises....we have ONE MORE game on the B1G Network (like last weekend) this season. They have not announced which game it is yet. I got YouTube TV, not just for the football games, but for the Baseball season as well. Double-Play Baby!

I was at first, but now looking at stuff in slow-motion...I am feeling better. Most is quite correctable....especially the attitude and hubris going into the game.

I will have an article on Friday looking at the issues, and what to watch for versus BSU. I am seeing the issues on the O-Line, and most are correctable...

Nice examples Darren, and the biggest difference is that we LOST those games, while this time we simply got our pride hurt.

1. They've said ENOUGH about us all summer to swell the hat sizes a bit too much. 2. Let's deserve it first.

Agreed. USC has more talent at receiver than we do, and looked very tough on defense. Holding any SEC team to 20 points is pretty darn good for any defense. This was a "good-or-good" game. If USC wins, then it is good for the B1G. If USC loses...I see no problem with that!

Our All-American Tackles had a bad day... --Perhaps they were overworked prior and came in with heavy legs? --They had been believing their press clippings? I think we will see a big bounce-back from them, and the O-Line play will improve enormously. Unlike some who think it is a permanent problem--I do not at all. All these guys have done it before and proven themselves, so it is not like they cannot do it. Get Bedford back and things go to normal, IMHO. No. 65, Ajani Cornelius...
