It's ok to gloat.....believe me they used to laugh their butts off at what they called the zero's when they were on top......20 years ago.
It's all in fun.....and that is a real dumpster fire right now......it's looking like Cal might beat them. Riley is out with an illness. Their defensive tackle is out for targeting....and they don't have anyone else of note above 290 pounds for the DL. Cal off bye and at home. Williams seems to have spent so much time making commercials he forgot how to throw the forward pass.
As for next year.....only worse......no recruits worth a crap for either line except maybe one ol. Williams gone. Playing the BIG.

After Riley, Helton, Sark, Kiffin, Hackett and understand that Carroll was a third choice it's obvious that the powers that be at USC are totally messed up.
Even their academic rating in US news is slipping......of course with so many scandals to handle it's hard to run a college.

Forgot to add.....the longer Riley stays at USC the better for Oregon....the man is a dope.

That was a great game......I'd encourage anyone to watch it on tape. As an aside.....Williams draft status should be top 15 now instead of one. He has been missing his passes and making poor decisions.

If Ducks fans want USC to flounder that ought to hope either Riley stays a long time at USC or Kliff Kingsbury gets the job.

The two most-watched Ducks games this season have been 3:30 pm ET.
That time slot was not just a random selection by the network.
Yep....when it's all about the bucks....don't worry....the networks are not stupid......Ohio St vs OREGON.....3:30 est.....12:30 pst.

Speaking as a resident of indy.....for those 10 plus kickoffs.....it's called recording......and ignoring the internet until you watch it the next day.
-
Frankly if I were a top defensive recruit the last place I'd sign for is USC........loaded with top notch busts. No development.
-
IMO the networks will like those 3:30 est games a lot. That is 12:30 pst. Keeps the NW and Cali fans and the midwest is at 2:30. Mountain zone in ratings is much fewer eyeballs.

Yep......the ducks played a good game.....the ball did not bounce their way.....somewhat due to bad coaching......nothing to be ashamed of and most importantly there is no other team on the schedule that the ducks come close to losing to if they play like they did against Dub. Which means another game.....at a neutral site......and a win.

Duck fans.....don't lose heart......if the Ducks run the table from here on.....which they should......another game with Washington on a neutral field. This time I doubt a field goal will matter.

This loss is on Lanning. The players won the game and their head coach fumbled the ball. Unfortunately they better go 11-1 or this loss is going to hurt the entire program in a lot of ways. A rematch on a neutral field would be something Oregon should relish.
Lanning......grow up young man.......it's about the score board.....not your fantasies.

Going to be a great game. One of the best all year. Perfect weather for football.
It seems to be a genuine tossup. Vegas has Washington up 3 but that is the traditional at home advantage.......Oregon is within a reasonable drive so there may be more green in the audience than normal.
I guess it's which one wants it more and makes the fewest mistakes.
Hold on to that ball!
Whoever wins this one deserves a top 5.
Personally I think the Oregon pass rush is a lot better.......Penix is going to be under the type of pressure he has never seen before. I think Nix will have sufficient time to run the Duck offense. I also think Oregon has a bit more team speed.
Oregon 35 Washington 24

IMO Oregon owes Christo a bit of thanks for turning what used to be a relatively soft program into a heavy weight. His recruiting of the type of linemen that controlled the line of S was really a change. Lanning was probably somewhat attracted to Oregon because of what was already here.
Having stated that.......he is a good recruiter......as a game time head coach......not so much. Miami will probably have to move on in a couple years.

Now, In the EST and CST a lot of Oregon kickoffs are at 10:30 pm with games going into 2 am or later......on a Saturday night.
There will still be some games in that slot but most games will probably be targeted at 8 EST or earlier.....the audience available will be like night and day.
A Thursday night game at 7pm est will be in prime time instead of buried late.....attracting all the college football fans. Imagine Mich vs Oregon on a Thursday night....the audience will be huge.
Nothing against the Pacific Northwest, I lived there not too long ago and loved it, but.......80% of US population lives east of I 35. That is where the eyeballs exist and to some degree is more football interested. Lots of outdoor folks in Oregon that don't know what a touchdown might be, whereas in the midwest in November, what else is there to do. LOL. Most of the BIG stadiums, even the perennial losers have stadiums that are at least 75% filled......as opposed to Stanford, UCLA, Cal, Az St, Az, Co that are lucky to attract 20000 on game day. Not to mention Wa St and Or St with their 33000 capacity.
The major networks are where the eyeballs are, I receive pac 12 network in Indy, but I pay for the most expensive spectrum package to get it. I bet its use in a sea of 250 channels can be counted with one bag of beans.
On Fox, CBS the Ducks will be watched by a huge audience.....and most importantly available to young eyes and their parents who are future recruits and transfers. Yes Mrs Dawson, you will be able to see Dwayne every Saturday if he comes to Oregon.
A game featuring USC and Oregon is a big game on the west coast but a game featuring Ohio St and Oregon is a national blockbuster. Those bright green uniforms, crowded stadium, will be camera attractive.
Folks in the midwest like to see attractive backgrounds....those mountains will work well......and on a snowing November day, the bright green....nice.
I can't imagine what the folks at Nike are going to do to goose viewership with their national flagship university beaming into Chicago, Cleveland, Indy, NY, etc etc
There are alumni and staff that will just love to travel to Eugene (with so much to experience) instead of Champaign, Il etc.
-
If USC plays like they did last night..... against Oregon........the game is going to be over in the first half. It was a miserable performance.
I don't know if Riley is going to be around very long. To understand what I mean watch the game but to save time the last two minutes of regulation.

Looks like Caleb has been making too many commercials instead of watching some film.
-
If....if......he ever plays again......it should either be next year or the last four this year. I suspected something was up when he did not play against UCLA.
The injury sounds really bad. Hope the best for him.
-
As a kid I watched Butkus every game. My best recollection was him wandering around while the opposing QB could not figure what to do with the ball. He finally heaved it into the end zone and Butkus flat on his back caught the ball for a TD. He played on a Bears team that had Gale Sayers in his prime (best RB I ever saw) but they never went anywhere because the old man Halas had won it in 63 and didn't want to spend.
Those were the days!
-
The travel schedule looks OK......and Ohio St at home, Michigan on the road........wow.

Two years ago, this question would be a no brainer.
Given the choice. Would you rather have Lincoln Riley or Dan Lanning long term? I think Christobel changed Oregon long term. Even with Chip Kelly, the Ducks would get beat if you could stop the RPO. Just look at the 2014 National Title game.
No USC fan will buy this. But Oregon is better suited heading into the B1G next year. You'll need that physicality in Ann Arbor, Madison, Columbus, or Happy Valley.
You'll do what Nebraska thought they were gonna do 11 years ago.
I buy it......Christo did one thing that all Duck fans need to credit him for...... the OL its big, strong tough.

The Washington game will be the tell all.......and I do believe Oregon will do well in that game.

Just watched the first half......the Utah QB is horrible........and the Or St QB is a little bit better.

I'd like the pac to win the NC. Is it probable.....no......possible......yep......would be a nice way to say goodbye.

Lincoln Riley Acuses Utah Of Stealing Signs
in Our Beloved Ducks
Posted
The signs were not the reason Williams has been throwing all those crappy passes.
