I really liked this white helmet, although I wish we saved it for an away game. But it is a different look, and pretty cool. Somebody in Minneapolis missed the "cool" memo with their helmet, because at this time--it is inadvisable to channel your inner Beavis. The lines turn PINK when the light hits it? Whew!

The USC passing game is pretty darn good, and they were making GREAT catches in the pouring rain. Oregon's offense has to know they will need to score a boatload to stay on top, and for those who point out how Iowa ran the ball so well on USC? Yeah...in the first half. In the second half the Trojans shut the Iowa offense down, unlike our defense in the fourth quarter a week ago. USC is running the ball better, and their passing game is elite. Their defense is not great, but improved and damn-it....they have a ton of incentive to play for. I believe we have the superior squad overall, but we have to show it. While we can survive with Benson, the BEAST, and Jamari Johnson, (One WR, and two TEs to focus on) I wish we could get one WR back between Bryant, Dak, or Stewart. I'm sure Bryant would love to play the team he transferred from... The most pleasant surprise for me this season is the secondary, and that matchup is crucial for the next two games as the Bastard Huskies have a great passing game as well. I expect a higher-scoring game where our secondary will eventually make some plays that decide the game, and the seven point line might be pretty accurate. Needed: Painful Sacks...

OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2025 OREGON FOOTBALL | @oregonfootball EUGENE, Ore. — ESPN's "College GameDay" pregame show will make its second trip to Eugene this season and 14th all-time ahead of the Oregon football team's top-25 matchup against USC on Saturday in Autzen Stadium. The game will be televised by CBS, with kickoff scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Oregon will be featured on the popular pregame show for the third time this season. "College GameDay" was produced from the site of the Ducks' double-overtime win at Penn State in Week 5, and then came to Eugene on Oct. 11 when Oregon hosted Indiana on Oct. 11. This marks the first time since 2007 that "College GameDay" has traveled to Eugene twice in the same season. No. 8 Oregon (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) will host No. 17 USC (8-2, 6-1 Big Ten) for the first time since 2023. The Ducks have won three straight against the Trojans and five of the last six meetings. The Ducks are 20-14 all-time when playing in a game featured by "College GameDay," including 9-4 at home. The set for "College GameDay" will again be situated on the Memorial Quad on the University of Oregon campus. More details on the production will be announced as they become available.

Only in Baseball!

Hubba-Hubba! Northwestern has a 22-21 lead on Michigan with ten minutes left! (On Fox)

14-3, Notre Dame over Pitt with five minutes left in the second quarter.

7-3, Michigan ahead of Northwestern with five minutes left in the second quarter.

I'm sure it has happened...but I cannot recall when someone actually nailed the exact score of the game (42-13) as FG Lumber did! No tiebreakers needed, and pretty cool. Thanks to all who had fun with it, and congrats to FG Lumber!

Great points— you would never know Minnesota’s national stats, by just casually watching the game. Both Oregon coordinators did a great job tonight…

Let’s move the conversation out to new threads on the front page!

I know I was surprised. I felt that with Dak and Bryant out, we were in for a tough road. But having the beast and Harkey back was much bigger than I anticipated. The gophers looked pretty tough in other games,… Were you surprised?

Here we are my Duck-Buddies, the thread for pondering the actual game as it happens. Let's discuss before, and during the game! I have made a major change in how we will moderate our GameDay threads. Bottom line, is that you will be allowed to spew your frustration, to vent, as you wish. But Note the Parameters: --This is for GameDay threads only; you have to behave in the regular forum threads as in the past. --You cannot take shots at those who disagree with you, just like in the forum during the week. Remember how we discussed this upfront in this thread. Let's Have Fun Posting During the Game!

Great point....if they have nothing to play for and come to Autzen? Love it!

Everyone thought Oregon would react like this coming into the Big-10...

Wowsa!

In reference to Will Stein...

Gotta get you the tasty stuff!

Because they could tie on one tiebreaker, and then each win a tiebreaker....for another tie. First post is the final tiebreaker....

I can't copy the article from The Athletic, but I can give you the most important sliver! Who would we, as a college football nation, be most OK with winning it? Which team would most nauseate us? Here’s an attempt to read the very large room. Remember, if your team is near the bottom of this list, it’s probably because it’s usually very good and annoys people. 1. Oregon: Let’s start by acknowledging that completely out-of-nowhere champions don’t satisfy the masses. Think of March Madness. Everyone loves the underdog early. Saint Peter’s beating Kentucky is amazing. Saint Peter’s getting to the second weekend, hell yes. But maybe the Final Four was OK without Doug Edert’s stupendous mustache? Oregon winning it all makes sense to people. This is the best program that has never done it. The Ducks have been close. Quarterback Dante Moore is fun to watch. Coach Dan Lanning is likable. The uniforms are mostly cool. Let’s give it a quack. Oregon winning its first title would be OK with the majority of fans with no dog in the fight.
