Here comes coach Prime!

Oregon Ducks receiver Seven McGee no longer with program, will enter transfer portal WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM McGee, who did not travel with the No. 8 Ducks to last weekend’s game at Cal, is not with the team and will enter the transfer portal when the transfer window opens I think this was more or less coming; as sad as it is to read. We have an abundance of wealth at the two positions he plays. What other positions can you think of where losing someone to the portal is almost guaranteed?

What comes to mind with "splashier" that can also coincide with "making sense for the PAC?" My first thought goes to BYU for "splashy" but not necessarily for "makes sense" because of the religious complications. Do we go further east into Big 12 territory? Then we get into some of the same travel nightmares that are brought up in regards to USC/UCLA going to the BIG (doesn't make sense). IMOH there is no NEED for expansion beyond any school not named San Diego State at this point. Any other school would need to be additive financially while also not overly burdensome on the student-athlete. It's a tough line to walk.

I would like to see Dillingham dial up a few real-game scenario drives for Ty so we can get a better assessment of where he's at. I'd want to see him put Ty into the same sort of opportunities to create explosive plays as Nix is getting. Maybe keep the 1st string O-Line out there until they at least score a touchdown with him under center. 4th quarter against CU, if I'm Dillingham, I am on the headset with Ty saying "OK here we go, I don't care what the score is, we need this touchdown; go get it". Now if that version of Ty comes out and still struggles or can't move the ball, I'll want to see what we have in Butters. We just haven't seen Ty operate the "real" version of KD's offense yet; so it's tough to get a read.

Looking like 58% chance as of today. My pink wig might get a little wet!

Oregon Ducks, UCLA to kick off midday WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The No. 12 Ducks (5-1, 3-0 Pac-12) will host the No. 11 Bruins (6-0, 3-0) at 12:30 p.m. PT on Oct. 22 at Autzen Stadium. Looks like the game is set for a midday kickoff. This is setting up well for Gameday heading back to Eugene!

If Butterfield transfers up the road next year he wins that QB battle easy. They are a QB away from a title shot and he would give them that. That would make for a heck of a Civil War!

I'm saying 4 years before he's coaching Bluefield State College or Judson University. I think the university will give him a shot with Jake Garcia. They are going to want to see what their investment does with a 5 star QB. If Josh Gattis sticks around for at least one season with Garcia and gets production out of him that may stretch him to approximately the 4 year mark. What I see happening is Jake Garcia starts out promising and then starts to regress under the prevent offense. Josh Gattis gets a head coaching gig and MC brings in another OC. The fans and the university will, at that point, see the offense remaining the same and understand the root of the problem lies not with his supporting staff but MC himself. MC should have a roster full of talent that is going absolutely no where. By year 4, Manny Diaz gives a slight chuckle when he wakes up Monday morning of week 6 to read that Mario Cristobal and Dan Radakovich have been relieved of their positions.

With the UCLA crowds these days I'm pretty sure Washington is considering it a neutral site game!

Avalos as a defensive coordinator at Oregon was in the same position Chip Kelly was at HC. They both inherited a lot of talent (players and staff) which, in turn, caused their strengths to shine and their weaknesses to be overshadowed. When both were given the task of forming their own team with their own identity, the flaws began to show. I want to see Avalos succeed. Hopefully he can snag an up-and-coming OC to right this ship. Montana State and Southern Alabama come to mind.

Boise State QB Hank Bachmeier to transfer in wake of Broncos firing offensive coordinator, per reports - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Bachmeier was a four-year starter, but turmoil at the start of the 2022 season led to his departure The wheels seems to be coming off at Boise State in a hurry! First the OC is given his walking papers and now Bachmeier wants out! He's looked bad this year but lets be honest; the play-calling has been more to blame than his actual performance (i.e. Anthony Brown, Justin Herbert). Let's see where he winds up.

By the time Taggart comes back to the Power 5, football will look like it did in Starship Troopers (maybe the most ridiculous part of that movie). He might just end his career coaching Pop Warner in Alaska. He burned the equivalent of Golden Gate Bridge with that stunt he pulled on the way out of Oregon. This is not lost on ADs around the country looking to replace P5 head coaches.

Harsin makes the most sense IMHO. Auburn is a meat grinder for all coaches who don't immediately place them in CFP contention. He is a great coach with about as many west coast ties as all the governors of the Pac 12 states combined. and he'd make ASU immediately dangerous again. They'd give him Jonathan Smith-style carte blanche for the football program.

Kenny Dillingham is one name ASU will look at in its coaching search DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM ASU will look across the country for its next head football coach, and Oregon’s Kenny Dillingham could be among the top candidates. The coaching carousel is off and running for the year in the PAC with Arizona State looking for a new head coach. This article includes Kenny Dillingham, as it is his alma mater. Does it make sense? Avalos did it, Crist-no-ball did it. Does he become another Ducks coach to answer the call of his former school if offered?

If Bo does THAT and we win then our defense is clearly taking us to a Rose Bowl!

BYU has always been my measuring stick for what happens at QB going forward for the season. I wanted to see the starter take care of the ball and not make huge mistakes against a Georgia team I expected we'd lose to. And then against BYU I want to see a QB who built off of Georgia and takes the next step in efficiency, accuracy, and all around performance. I think if we see Bo do bad Bo things in this game then it is time to make a change. I have seen the comments about how Ty looked robotic and lacking leadership qualities last week. Those can be developed. That'll come with comfortability in playing with the starters. Lanning needs to be ready to roll the dice.

It's clear Bo thinks he as a stronger arm than he really does. Just because Justin Herbert regularly displays this nation's hypersonic missile program on Sundays doesn't mean everyone can. He is accurate and has good placement. Those need to be his focus. He needs to take what the defense gives him rather than try and force throws into rapidly deteriorating conditions.

Looks like I'll be wearing my same #8 jersey two weekends in a row! A friend of mine is coming over the mountains with me and he loves the blackout games.

I am trying to find any sort of update on the color scheme for the BYU game. I am assuming it will be black since BYU was originally yellow, but I am just looking for a confirmation somewhere on this.

We live in Bend and I can see the smoke plume from the fire headed west. Hopefully by kick-off it'll switch directions and we can have a mostly clear game with a little bit of a breeze!

We might be getting hit with the smoke from the Cedar Creek Fire. But it looks like the wind is supposed to move back to a more West to East direction later in the evening. Could be a lot like the Fresno State game.

Oregon 45-24 2 2 300

It isn't boos for a coach I am foreseeing happening. It is the frustration that fans may collectively feel seeing something NOT happen that they believe most people are wanting. I was at the Cal game and the boos happened at one point but the "Ty Thompson" chants happened in a completely different part of the game. I am a Dan Lanning supporter and stated my backing for him in the post about "our thoughts from the Georgia game now that time has passed". I just whole-heartedly believe a guy can only wait so long for his shot in college football today. I respect the hell out of Ty for staying as long as he has. Maybe he does and I have to eat this post at the end of the season. But I think he's a smart guy and seeing the writing on the wall with Dante (hopefully) coming on next year. I'll hate to see him go as much as anyone else, but I do think its an uncomfortable reality that is approaching.
