Four from one of the nation's powerhouse programs? Danno is killing-it!

The Athletic writer meant it in a charming, almost complimentary way? --------------------------------------------------- No. 2 Oregon 35, Purdue 0 You’re not really a Big Ten team until you squander a top-five ranking on the road in West Lafayette. Therefore, Oregon is still not a Big Ten team, having instead destroyed 1-6 Purdue on Friday night. No. 22 Illinois in Eugene is next. Assuming Oregon moves up to No. 1 in today’s AP, that’ll be this season’s fourth change atop the poll. That’s already the most for any season since 2014’s four. --------------------------------------------------- While we are certainly are a B1G team now, I'll bet that many B1G Athletic Directors have no qualms about adding Washington and the LA market at the moment. But Oregon? "They're going to be a pain..."

O-HO State? Naw...I won't go there...

Lanning has not lost to an unranked opponent yet. Unlike prior coaches who would play-down to their opponent, or simply let one get away that shouldn't, (Yeah, I'm thinking of Stanford over the years) this coach has the players mentally ready. That stadium was packed with a Black-out, and they had hope after scoring 49 points the week before. This was never in doubt, and I salute the staff being so ready. BTW...how bizarre is this? --Purdue goes from scoring 49 to zero! Or... --Illinois gives up 49 points, and then holds Michigan to seven? Whew!

Andrew Boyle is a senior, been loyal to the program and has recovered from injury. They are working him in for occasional Field Goals, PATs, and Kick-offs for a variety of reasons, IMHO. First, in case of injury to Sappington, second--to promote his own NFL resume and let him show he can still kick, and finally to let Sappington know that there is competition if missed FGs and PATs continue. A kick-off OOB at garbage time by Boyle did not hurt us, but I agree with your point--we can't do that. But it is part of Dan's roster-building, I believe. Andrew Boyle

Evening slots to them....love it!

I think the question of "Any B1G Regrets?" ought to be asked of USC fans right now?

Leave Oregon football discussion to other threads, please. (Can you take a hint?)
