You can only hope, and I sense he's feeling the "pucker" already! (Go directly to 3:10 in the video)

Meh. I think after this year is completed and a Big-10 team wins the 'Natty for the third time in a row, that it will be shown that while the SEC is deeper? The Big-10 has the best teams.

A TON of SEC players have come to B1G in the NIL-Portal era. I did not anticipate how a couple of Big Ten teams could load up on portal athletes from the south to the degree that we have. It has been quite a leveling of the playing field between the two power conferences…

I think a highly coveted 5-Star safety (see below) coming in this winter, and one RS freshman safety ahead of him returning probably had more to do with it. And that is not counting 5-Star Safety Trey McNutt coming back from injury as well... Whew! No. 2 Safety in the US joining us soon?

As we know...before the injuries, Benson was just a fill-in option, not necessarily one I had confidence in. Now? He is a TOUCHDOWN MACHINE, and the recovering receivers will have to earn their turn because being better than Benson right now--is going to be hard. McClellan? An occasional target has now become a trusted WR who has proven to make TOUGH CATCHES. I won't say he will be a great receiver, because he is one NOW. Don't you love watching players get their confidence and blow up?

I think Dan Lanning rolled the dice, as he KNEW we had the game in hand...in the early second quarter which is when he began major substitutions on defense. I did not note everyone filling in, but at halfway point in the second quarter we had Lopa, Jackson, Gray, Green, Purchase and Offord in there. That is six I noticed right there, as it was the earliest I've seen such subbing in a long time. Dan knows...there is no substitute for experience. Look how McClellan and Benson have flourished over the last four games, and Lanning knows that he loses a TON off the defense next year, and needs to get them ready. He gambled playing them, believing he was going to win the game, and the points given up were sacrificed for the good of next year's team. But it was much more than he or Tosh wanted, and apparently both let the defense have it in the locker room later.

Usually the winning margin is much closer, but one our favorite members, GatOrlando, won the contest with a margin of 13 total points. The actual score was 51-34, and he predicted a 48-24 for the winner! I love seeing prominent OBD forum members win, and we offer our congrats to GatOrlando! Thanks to all for taking part, and the next one is going to be a dandy to predict... Let's All Celebrate!

Incredible catch, and a beautiful fish! So very cool…

Naw, Johnson sees it is going short and slow, and comes back hard to get it. The defender sees that too, and either they both crash into each other with the ball knocked away, or at best—Johnson catches it and is knocked out-of-bounds at the two yard line. IMHO.

I find it amazing how people get angry at the interceptions, and blame it on Dante's "bad judgement," when the replays clearly showed that both receivers slipped and fell down. Moore is responsible for their footing?

I am referring to our quarterback versus the other quarterbacks that we have watched play between today and yesterday. I cannot claim we have the best in ALL the Playoffs, because the Ohio State and Indiana quarterbacks are extremely extremely talented, but it sure seems like ours is on a different level compared to what I watched in the last two days. Agree?

Pass. And I'm writing this before I've watched a moment of the game.

Let's use this as a discussion thread for the game! I do not like to see Cristobal rewarded, but I do want an SEC team to lose....so it is "good-or-good" for me.

Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction of Oregon versus James Madison Univ? Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Let's get these predictions started, and remember I look for the differential between your predicted points with both teams from the actual points. I will use the tiebreaker information when needed, so provide all the data below! Entries without ALL the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count. We Have Two New Rules: If two winning scores are tied, and tiebreakers tie? The first one who posted wins, automatically. TerryM9 gets 42-6 locked in every time as his. (I love this guy!) Please follow directions, as I need all that is below for tiebreakers: --the winner --the score --the amount of turnovers Oregon creates --the number of sacks Oregon records on the opposing team --the number of passing yards by the Ducks. My prediction is: Oregon 41-16 1 3 288

I think he brings up some good points, and it will be interesting to watch for...

Eugene is predicted to get FIVE INCHES today, as much rain in a month coming down in one day? It is supposed to let up on Saturday morning...

On one of the pay-sites....someone reported a video made by a CFB content creator where Dak Moore was actually interviewed. He explained the injury, and when run by a doctor who specializes in such injuries--the estimate was given that it would only take about six weeks to heal. And it was noted that we are right at six weeks at the moment!

It was an accurate slip, as it is not a "new" Pac-12, but a "New World" Mountain West. Those teams are targeting an NIL budget of only seven million a year, as it is all they can afford. Whew!

Watch the video in the link in the second post....the family genes are the answer!

VERY Cool Helmet!

Yeah, BABY!

Finally...some school colors again!

Want more of the "Burley Blur?" The link above was before he decommitted from Boise State, and he was faster in high school than Tyreek Hill? Holy Crap! Is that an Outside Linebacker build? In high school? Whew!

An old video short, but it gives you a tasty tidbit...
