Or Justin Herbert 2.0. Herbert was 3* too, right?

Love Herbert 100%, but he wasn't as productive as he should have been in that game either. Lawrence looked so much better in the 2nd half than Herbert did all game. I wish he had been more crutched and really carried the team over the hump. But alas, we will have to wait another year yet again.

Stop poaching from Tulane or ND, for crying out loud... 😀 Those are the only two teams I root for besides OBD, since my daughters go there!

Great point. Soon we will lose on that front, to WA, TX and FL...

Why doesn't NCAA place a limit on NILs? This is just ridiculous.

Didn't we win the Pac in 2020 against the spoiled children? Edit: NVM - we did lose the bowl game that year, badly...

Oregon 49-28 2 2 300

A team can only have one starting QB. We got ours. There are always other great players that will be playing for another team. I say don't be greedy. I am not impressed by the character of Moore, who seems to have zero loyalty - flipped from ND and now from UO. Maybe that's how it is in this day an age, but I still don't like it. So hope he makes it, but won't be surprised if we see him in the portal in anot-so-distant future.

If we can only have one of the two, DL definitely made the wise choice. Recruiting is no longer the only way to get good players this day and age. In fact, it is better to transfer a proven QB than recruiting a 5-star. I know because I happen to be fan of a team that has this experience at QB recently. Wink Wink...

I got one of your emails about a poor choice of word in my posting. I think I deserved it and that's the end of that. We all really appreciate you providing this free forum for OBD fans and trying to keep it civilized. I can't believe the length some of the folks would go to be nasty. Ban them! Good that robots should be used to do the policing instead of you. Hope you get to bet more on NFL, mostly against the Falcons after they dumped our Mariota...

All due respect, but how is this even a question? Clearly there is a consensus on this issue. TT didn't get any time in last year's bowl game and won't this year either.

Got to admire the spirit. Hope he stays healthy and doesn't jinx his NFL stock...

Exactly my first thought. In this day and age of the carousal, I won't expect him to stick around long if OBD continues to be successful offensively. The next question is: Will Frank Harris follow him to Oregon, if Nix leaves?

Mario is like the magic snake oil salesman - he can sell to anyone anytime. Didn't they just sign a big-time recruit and are still ranked 7th for the 2023 class, despite this horror show of a season? Amazing.

Don't know how to feel about this one - he didn't even get to play with TT's underwhelming showing this season. Good luck to the kid. He may need it.

Well, but aren't they under a ton of sanctions? All coaches are on very short leash nowadays. If he can't deliver in 2-3 yrs, his career will be over. That's my bet at this point.

The slow mesh, they call it. LOL. It was entertaining to watch the QB and RB getting hammer by defenses at the same time while they were saying to each other "no, you have the ball, I insist".

So is Chip the only coach to have left Oregon and be "successful", which comes with a lot of qualifiers of coz... I wonder if future incoming coaches are going to look at that and think twice before coming here, unless they want to be OBD lifers. Is this a good thing for us?

I know I know - not very gracious here, but who cares: The failures of slick and Mario do help to soothe and heal my soul after Saturday. Thank you, disloyal traitors. Unfortunately, Dilly didn't learn. ASU is such a snakepit now, I doubt a young inexperienced guy will make it there. Not a smart move at all!

Great analysis, but just like the CFP talk last week, this is pointless speculation with 2 weeks remaining. Just win and things will be taken care of. Agree 100% with David, OBD's season is most likely over if Bo is out. May be heading to Holiday or lower bowl if we lose the last 2... How the fortune has changed in one game.

This is not good at all. A lot of sweats coming Saturday night... Also, seems like Kris Hutson talks too much. Hope he doesn't get disciplined and miss a game.

It's another problem and sign of OBD's success. I tell all my fellow OBD fans after Saturday to take a deep breath and look at the big picture - shouldn't we be happy that UW made such a huge deal about beating us? Remember how it was a HUGE DEAL for UO to beat UW back in 1994? How the tide has turned? OBD is now enjoying the prestidge of Alabama, tOSU, Clemson and ND, where other teams "win of the (insert forever in their timeline)" is beating the Ducks? Same idea about yanking coaches form us... We should rejoice in the successes of OBD and continue to be proud of our team, as long as they keep working on it.

Good for him. MC will have him run up the middle and into the piles in no time!

Yes, it's time to stop chasing after the stars and actually evaluate the players in person like the old times. The whole CFB system now is broken, including this business of ranking teams recruiting based on star ratings and making a big deal out of it.

The 4th-down fail was entirely on the coaches. If they were going to gamble, why NOT gamble with the play-calling and have TT run around the pile, instead of asking Whittington to slip up the middle? So many mistakes in that Q4...
