Wow really? Do the gamblers ever learn? 🤣 I know OBD will beat the rodents, but certainly won't expect that margin. I predict 28-24.

Not pretty, but we're done with potatoes this year! Bring on the rodents!I

I guess this will be an instant classic CFB game, regardless of outcome. So enjoy it, OBD fans!

I forgot to mention: let's return the kicks!

Mari No's ghost, and the boos from the Autzen crowd, are all back.

Yes, OL is leaky. But DG needs to get rid of ball quick or be more mobile too! Not to give up on him, but I wonder if it's time to play another 5-star QB that we got just to mix things up? I think it's desperation time. Continuing the same plays will definitely result in a loss.

Send Stewart and Johnson down field and have DG get rid of the ball quickly. When that works for a couple of times, running plays should loosen up. Definitely don't keep running up the middle for 1st and 2nd down. That's the Mari No play!

I think at this point, DL and Stein need to just call aggressive offensive plays. Can't just run up the middle or throw lateral passes any more. This team is clearly not as good as hyped and we need to play hungry! Case in point, when DG throws to Stewart down field, good things happen...

K State at Tulane is pretty big too, especially since it will be played in the soaking NOLA. I am rooting for a Green Wave upset!

OBD WINS, 42-31, 2, 2, 400

Nice! Wish Mariota would step up! Almost had 3!

Nice, this is our Rudy moment! OBD has really become a huge brand. Now just gotta win that elusive Natty!

Beating No. 13 doesn't qualify you to be No. 3, neither should winning a game drop a team from No 3 to 26. This is just another spoiled child crying. Moving on...

I like this and last week's. Stick to green/yellow/white as main colors, don't confuse anyone any more than necessary.

Excellent analysis as usual, Charles. DG really needs to look at Stewart more! Another thing we noticed while watching the game - DG looks short at 6', so maybe his vision is not as open. Is it because everyone around is bigger? 😄

Oh no - 6 rushing TDs in 20 carries, in week 1 by BSU RB Jeanty. And the gamblers have OBD win by 19.5? Charles - what's your bet? 😄

You get Peacock for free if you have Instacart+, BTW. Instacart+ offers a 14-day free trail, which will allow you to stream this game for free. Many people did this during the Olympics...😄

At least they dropped FSU out altogether, about time. But look at where U and U$C are. They may be good this year, dang!

Spoiled Children at No. 7! I guess they definitely had a better quality win than OBD, unfortunately...

Agree, this Saturday could be stressful to ugly. Let's hope we are all wrong to worry.

Agree 100% that we wouldn't want him hurt, but I was talking about easy runs. Potato defense was effective because they figured out that DG wouldn't run. That's a major weakness our next potato opponent will no doubt exploit even more. That said, despite the disappointing outcome, I am very glad that we won without any major injuries. Unlike the opponents which were dropping like flies every few minutes. So may DL did work our guys a bit hard, but it did pay off in that regard.

O-line play, sacks and QB play go hand in hand. Any one failing will make the other two look bad. DG needs to get rid of the ball quickly and run when he needs to. That will make the O line look better and reduce sacks. 3 sacks against FCS team is really alarming.

Yes, our O-Line was the weakest link, but I think our QB play could have been better if he had been willing to move to get yardage. There were many plays where the field in front of him was wide open and yet he chose to throw a check down. Even the TV announcer said it. DG is supposed to be a mobile QB, but didn't show much of it yesterday. This will have to change starting next week against a much tougher potato, or we are done.

I only watched the first half because TU was clearly in command. But QB1 Mensah was really impressive, much more poised than TT ever was. The 3rd team ESPN commentators (which were terrible but right about this one) kept saying that they could see why TU went with Mensah. It's just a bummer that TT never developed in college. Good thing we didn't need him that much, except for the last couple of games of 2022 season...

Yeah, this hurts for that kid, but that's the reality of a competitive sport. Maybe also shows Tulane could be good again this year. Go Green Waves!
