Agreed. ASU is a good team, but not a great one.

I still see Sark in purple...

Let's discuss the SEC Championship on the new thread I just started!

Let's move the SEC Championship to this thread...

I think Stein is a slightly better OC, and I don't think he's ready to be a HC. But then...I said that about Dilly when he left!

Yep, that’s what I wrote as well.

At halftime of the MW Conference Championship last night...Urban Meyer was singing his praises of Oregon's speed....on DEFENSE!

That was a terrible PI...and it wasn't called?

Penn State is a good team, and will be a tough-out. Yet, I believe Oregon would win four out of every five encounters with them. I think there are other teams in the Playoff that will test Oregon further, with Georgia being an obvious example. But what about Indiana? Now that they are coming storming back from being beaten....would they be better than the 'Lions right now? We played Ohio State when they were healthy, confident and No. 2 in the nation. Now we play the No. 3 team in the nation....and the Playoffs haven't even begun yet?

Go Arizona State!

Yes, I know the B1G has a couple of tough teams at the top each year, but it seems that in the Pac-12 we faced a killers-row of quarterbacks. Each week was a tough defensive assignment, while the B1G QBs are....meh. One of the "best" wins on the schedule, Illinois who finished No. 21 had a very pedestrian QB compared to what we faced in the Pac, from even the bottom third of the league. It just feels like the B1G is top-heavy, but the middle and bottom third are not as good as the Pac was in the same segments. Now don't get me wrong; I don't want to go back to being unseen by the majority of the country, and I want our AD to have the double the media revenues in the first year compared to what the Pac/Apple offered us. I love the exposure and being part of a Super-Conference, but I believe that label was supported by their bluster that was simply the time zone, and the number of eyes watching. We will do just fine in this conference, IMHO. Now that we've gone through the conference...what are your thoughts?

I wasn't going to go there, because the analysis was long enough, but I am quite sure there are sequential plays off this original new play. Penn State counters, and we counter-the-counter. I love your thought of an RPO, especially a pass off this because the linebackers are going to be busy as it is. The tight end could peel off his block to catch an eight yard pass?

USD, not SDST.

Talk about withdrawal symptoms... ...the offseason is going to be rough!

Wow....we are NOT popular in B1G Country!

Click-bait title, as a more accurate one is…Why Oregon Deserves to NOT Play in the B1G Championship, but he got me to click!

Oregon is “annoying” news that most would prefer to ignore. Keep winning and they can’t!

If we do not get Olesh at noon...this guy below might be a TE Portal Target for Oregon...

There is a counter that we have actually run into this year, the "Scrape Exchange" that goes back also to the Chip Kelly days. Defense began to figure how to counter the Zone-Read, and this was one of the solutions. But, there are counters-to-the-counters, and then comes the timing; if you do a Scrape-Exchange on defense when they are not running a Zone Read? You have defenders out of position, and big running lanes can be created inadvertently. I had a video made about this concept, but the creator who contributed it to us, then decided to make it private. Nice....I share all my stuff, but others do not have the same attitude.

Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction versus Penn State? 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. And please check the other posts in this thread to prevent putting up the a score that has already been predicted. We had one week where four entries were the same score! 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 34-17 2 3 321 Let's Go 13-0, Ducks!

Oregon put the most points on both teams whose defenses had not allowed that much prior to playing the Ducks!
