It’s happening next Sunday. Do you pick a side? I’ll be pulling for Herbert to get the win.

I went to the USC game yesterday. Spencer Rattler looked totally inept. His reads were horrible. He would have man coverage with a stacked box and still hand it off for a loss. I’m glad the Ducks ended up with the #2 QB out of that class. On a side note, Gamecock fans can get pretty loud. They just can’t sustain that level of excitement throughout an entire game. They’re good for a series then they wait until 3rd and long to get loud again. They do have a cool chicken statue, though.

The Pac-12 better lock this guy into a contract before somebody else gets him.

I don’t blame Wilcox one bit. It’s kind of hard to call defensive plays and call out adjustments when your own fans refuse to keep the noise down.

The fact that OSU didn’t have one penalty against Texas seemed a bit odd.

If Dilly leaves then I would suspect that Bo would leave for the NFL. His time at Auburn wasn’t good because of their propensity to play “musical OC’s”. I don’t think he would be up for having his 4th in 5 years.

I think a good topic of discussion would be the amount of touches Dye would get if he had stayed. Lanning doesn’t seem to care about what guys did before he got there (see Cardwell). My guess is dye would be used more as a receiving back.and he wouldn’t get many carries.

It’s funny you mention that. Go to StateoftheU or Canesinsight and you will see several comments about getting rid of “the guy with the mustache”. Many of them think he’s just a regular coach and not the SC coach. They just know he’s always on TV.

New Chip may make us hate old Chip if he starts going for it on 4th down and converting 2-point conversions on extra points.

I listened to Jerry Allen yesterday on ESPNU Radio getting interviewed by Bobby Carpenter. He had an interesting take on the UGA game. He seemed to think that if they hadn’t gotten humbled they may not have realized how hard they need to work and listen to DL and his staff. He said that DL probably told them if they wanted to be as good as UGA then they need to follow his process and really buy into improving.

Big bro may have been an influence.

They’re just getting a NFL education. It’s the same thing they’ll deal with at the next level. The difference in pay between the stars and the special teams guys is vast. It’s also why most of the younger guys blow everything they make. They want to keep up with the big boys with regard to status symbols like houses, cars, etc.

He’s sending a message to his team. Don’t count on anything or anybody else to help you win the game. You have to perform at a high level or you will lose.

Was that Gary Baker in the video with him?

Who you got? I’m going with Dan Fouts. Chargers and Falcons both play on Sunday so MM8 and Herbert are out.

It’s definitely the best option. MSU@Bama is off the table since they both lost. OSU lost so they can’t go to Stillwater. The only other good option is TCU/KSU since it has Big 12 championship implications. However, there’s nothing like kicking the show off while it’s still dark.

They have the best 22 players.

I live in the South. It was 78 today, but it will be 50’s by Wednesday. I’m hearing there will be a 100% chance of weather by Saturday.

I hate to say it, but USC the most talented team in the conference.

UCLA just broke the 5 digit barrier in attendance for their last game. If that’s not a resurgence then I don’t know what is.

Adam Stack was the top rated kicker and an All American Bowl selection. He never panned out. Kickers are hit and miss, so I never put much stock in their ratings. I remember the FSU Kicker (Aguayo) who never missed in college and was drafted in the 2nd round by Tampa. He got the “Jimmy legs” and was cut after his first season. The Duck’s best kickers in the past decade have been walk-on’s.

This is an interesting take and very accurate. MC’s grade is a solid D. App State scored 40 points in the 4th quarter on Carolina and Miami could only muster 24 at home. Let’s not forget that App State is a 3 loss team. So is MTSU for that matter. He’s borderline F material. I agree with a B+ so far for DL. Only because Oregon hasn’t played and beaten anybody who is currently ranked. BYU and WSU were OK, but both have a couple of losses. You think Brent Venables has it bad at Oklahoma? What about Mario Cristobal at Miami? SPORTS.YAHOO.COM One huge difference between Venables and Cristobal, having awful first seasons at OU and Miami: Venables was never a head coach. Cristobal? Far less of an excuse. @Ducks_Wire

If there was ever a reason for 4 SEC teams in the playoff, that would be the scenario.
