Thanks, Steven. Yes, the Oregon Spring game lacked scoring and, in that respect, was boring. Looking at the list of 1st-round draft picks emphasizes all of the talent, especially on defense, that Ohio State lost. There was a lot of scoring in the Buckeyes Spring game, and not only when Heisman candidate Sayin was playing QB. The D had very few stops and few three-and-outs. Will Matt Patricia be able to produce another top D in 2026? Even with all of the talent on D last season, Ohio State went 0-2 in the postseason. Week 2 sees the Buckeyes at Texas. Unlike 2025, both teams have a cupcake to consume in the opening game. I think the game will go over the current line of 46.5. Did Perich play yesterday? If he did play, I'm surprised that he was not returning punts.

The draft was a Dilly for ASU, but Fickell for Wisconsin. And Billy Belichick needs to spend less time in the Durham Day Care Center and more time on the football field. 1st time since 2016 that a UNC player wasn't drafted. Life of Riley?

Thank you, Jay. (If you are residing in the Olde Towne, whereabouts?) If I counted correctly, there are 11 Big Ten teams in Tournament guru Joe Lunardi's way-too-early field. Michigan and Michigan State are both No. 1 seeds. And, if I counted correctly, there would be 12 SEC teams in the field. 23 Power 2 teams in the field, WOW! If the projection is close, the Big Ten conference will be a grinding coast-to-coast gauntlet. Being on the bubble would mean a decent season against quality competition. 11 teams in with two No. 1 seeds, $how OBD more of that B1G po$t$eason money. 🤑

That's why they call it a sweep, Penn State turned the other cheek The Nittany Lions showed up weak - It's Unhappy Valley, so to speak😁 Thanks again for the great coverage of the Diamond Ducks 🦆 And, have a really nice day 👌👍😍

Thank you, Another OD. A few more takes on the draft. - 18 of the top 100 players taken transferred from the G6 to the P4. - 5 years since Riley took over at SC and since Dan Lanning took over at Oregon. Riley - 17 draft picks, 5 linemen. Dan - 24 draft picks, 12 linemen. - Recency Bias? The SEC sets a record with 87 draft picks, 5.4 per program. The B1G finishes 2nd with 68 draft picks, 3.8 per program. The SEC is top-to-bottom better at recruiting than the B1G, but when it comes to coaching ... - The Power 2 combine for 60.5% of the players drafted. - A Tale of Two Programs - Clemson, 9 players drafted; Miami, 9 players drafted. - Texas Tech also had 9 players taken. The Orange Bowl shutout was the apogee of the Ducks' season. TT beat up OBD. Bama fell to Indiana with a whimper. It showed in the next game. - Remember when these guys were the belles of the QB crop: Cade Klubnik, Drew Allar, LaNorris Sellers, Archie Manning, and Garrett Nussmeier? - The guy who was screwed out of the Heisman by Mendoza, Diego Pavia, was not drafted. In 2026, Fernando heard the beat of the No. 1 drums: National Champ, Heisman winner, No. 1 draft pick. - Seven Oregon players picked. World fell off the draft map. If all Oregon players eligible for the draft had been picked, OBD would have surpassed Ohio State's 11 picks. - Ohio State led all programs with 11 players drafted. 10 - Alabama, Texas A&M - IMO, DeBoer's raise and contract extension were premature. A&M scored in the portal, but unlike 2025, in 2026, the Aggies' first seven SEC opponents will not all finish with six or more losses. 9 - Clemson, Miami, Texas Tech - Easy schedules and excellent portal picking mean the Canes and the Red Raiders will be in the 2026-27 playoff. But Clemson? Open at LSU. October 3rd, when Miami visits Clemson, could be a critical game for Dabo and the program. 8 - Georgia, Indiana, Penn State - Georgia wins the SEC, again. Indiana reloads. Penn State? An easy schedule, but how will Iowa State players perform in the Big Ten? (Last season, State defeated Iowa in Ames.) 7 - Iowa, LSU, Oregon, UW, Florida, Oklahoma - IMO, OBD returns to the playoffs in 2026, and from this group, I think UW has the best chance to join the Ducks. The 2027 NFL draft should be Just Ducky for Oregon. 🤑

Yes, both misses were from 50+ yards. The 1st attempt had no chance, the second drifted left but was close to going through the uprights. There were a few big plays in the game, but for a Spring Game to be exciting, both Ds have to stink, right? I recall one trick play in the game that was unsuccessful. With the talent on D Dan has assembled, and the D almost always ahead of the O early in the Spring and early in the season, and with split units, I would be surprised, and somewhat concerned, if both Ds had been lit up. BURY BOISE!
