Ahh, the 64K question .... can we make up 2.38+ points a day (31pts / 13 days) HELL YES, since Utah hasn't played the Ducks this year. Not sure who they played on Nov 20th. Ducks 26 Utes 24 2 TOs 2 sacks 140 yds passing

For Pitman at least, not being able to crack the top spots in the receiving corp was probably a deciding factor. His production has dropped off like the ball out of his hands on too numerous of occasions. The loss of the Ark recruit could be a combo of Ark being better than expected, a really good Ark track team, being able to stay home, crowded WR room.

According to CBS, we still have a shot at the playoffs. "The Ducks will definitely finish behind Georgia, the Big 12 champion and probably Notre Dame. So, they would not only need to beat No. 17 Utah in the Pac-12 Championship Game but also require losses by Cincinnati and Michigan plus an Alabama blowout loss. All this while hoping that Iowa does not jump them as well, although I do not expect that would happen." ( College Football Playoff, bowl predictions: Paths for the nine remaining contenders with one spot clinched - CBSSports.com ) Sorry, not buying it.

Moorhead previously coached at Akron as an assistant coach from 2004-2008, which is when the school won it's only MAC championship in 2005.

It's not going to be easy for either team. NFL-bound Utes returned in 2021 to complete unfinished business. Will they close the deal? (msn.com) Go Ducks

Verbals, verbals verbals from 18 y.o. Just saying.

Yogi and I agree, the game is 50% physical and 90% mental, or as Iron Mike would say, everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face. We need to throw the first punch and keep it up. If we can do that and let Utah know they are playing a completely different team, that will go a long way towards a W. If not, and Utah is playing the same team, OUCH. It would be interesting to see what NIL opportunities are available for the "Threepeat Pac 12 Champs" (Doesn't that have a nice ring to it)?

Yes, never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

AGREED: uw did not take a step forward in recruiting chops with their hire. So who in the North is a threat to cut into our recruiting? Whittingham at 62, might only have a couple of years left if rumors are true. I don't see Utah as a big time destination. ASU, how much longer is Herm going to be there? UCLA, Chip seat is like Helton has been for the last few years. AZ and Colorado are light years off. Stanford seems to have peaked and Cal is a dumpster fire.

What we do know, is that there will be an impact. Will we lose some recruits that would have chosen us over a Helton U$C? Yes. Might more kids stay on the coast to compete against a deeper Pac 12, with a guaranteed playoff spot? Maybe, and if so, right now we would be that #2 spot, if not #1 depending upon the position. Do we have a roster advantage right now? Yes, so if it takes a bit for them to catch up, then some of the Riley/second coming luster may have fallen off. There is still an 85 scholarship limit, so there will not be any U$C monopoly on Pac 12 recruiting.

2 BIG THINGS.... Who is going to hire him, NO AD Who is he going to replace, THEY STILL HAVE A COACH.

He does

Mycah who?

I think the guy's source must be Linda Tripp's brother.

Pretty sure that was the only meeting in 2019

You mean the 6 mil dive for $EC bucks?

Let's not forget him getting that kid killed to photogragh practice from an unsafe tower on an abnormally windy day. Lost all respect for him that day.

Hey Darren, how about a "spoiler alert" for those of us who have not seen the movie?

So far, just 10 this year.

Per the Canzano podcast with the Utah writer, Utah bought out the allotment quickly and is gobbling up the secondary market. Only a 6 hour drive to "24/7 heaven" from SLC.

GAMES !!!!!

Lincoln Riley calls landing USC job 'surreal,' says leaving Oklahoma was tough but 'right thing' (espn.com)

Second item Pac-12

Solid hire (for all 12 schools in the conference), but more of a bloop single than the home run Cohen was promising just a week ago.

So I guess Riley saw hand writing on the wall with OU going to SEC. Can you imagine the pressure that will be on Sark after this year AND going to the SEC in the near(?) future?
