The Kamikaze Kid

I could see the UO back up the Brinks truck to keep him around for a couple more years. After that he may just walk right into an LSU level head coaching gig like Lanning did.

UO 42-38 3 3 240

How many coaches on this list are first time head coaches? How many are in the top 10? B+? Seems more like an A to me.

Lanning is obviously in all business mode as he’s planning out scheme to go up against an undefeated college football master mind. He got a free pass for the UGA game but he will be forever compared to Chip as UO head coaches. This is game one of that legacy. He’s more locked into the battle on the field than the rah rah rah in the stands. I think that’s a good thing.

Dude coached at UGA in the SEC. I would assume he understands crowd noise both home and away. I think he’s saying the fans are great but it’s the players making plays that win the games.

Lanning could stick around for ten years, become a coaching legend, and still head somewhere else and only be 46 years old! I think Lanning is WAY more focused on putting his stamp on a program and building his legacy than simply climbing a coaching ladder. Taggart and Cristobal both chased fools gold "dream jobs". Both made huge mistakes. Lanning seems like a better decision maker to me so far.

Fake injury game final score: UO 15 Cal 13. Seems more like a paint drying race to me.

Game Day, sold out stadium, top 10 match up, top 10 team in first half year of being a head coach, best facilities in the country, all these things combined together would be a strong selling point to any recruit win lose or draw.

Great breakdown. The Ducks are playing at a championship caliber in several departments, at a high level at most of the rest and only sub par in a couple.

I think the games of my youth would be considered a personal foul and immediate ejection today.

The steady progress of the young corner backs has been promising. I'm almost already looking forward to next year to see the one year progress report.

Uncle Phil could start up a preseason invitational at Sofi Stadium. Two top Pac teams challenge ACC, Big 12 even SEC teams. LA kids could still be well connected with the Ducks and the Pac. The UO and Knight are both outside the box thinking people/school. I would not bet against either getting the last laugh.

Agreed. Since the Sabrina era, the team has cooled down significantly. If they don’t get that mojo back soon, they may just settle into the middle of the Pac.

If the Beav's were good enough to coast the last 20 minutes of the game like the Ducks have, I'm sure the stats would be more similar.

BIG 10 and SEC hold the following Positions: #1,#2, #3, #4, #6, #7. Hmmmm.

I could see some rule giving the offense time back on the clock after a turn over gets negated by a defensive penalty but I didn't here any kind of clarification about that so we're just left to speculate.

Someone really needs to clarify that call because if they don't, it just looks like the refs made up their own rule on the spot.

Ducks peak scores this year. BYU 38-7 3rd qtr Stanford 31-3 Half time Arizona 49-13 3rd qtr Late game stat padding by the opponents have masked the UO's defensive dominance in three games. That nail biter in the Palouse is looking worse and worse but OSU and USC also didn't have to go there for their games.

Good job Utah!

Pac 12 refs being Pac 12 refs again.

Utah's best defense is USC imploding. I'll take it.

I'd like to take this moment to thank Stanford for hanging in there and beating Notre Dame.

Utah on Offense: They just might pull this off. Utah on Defense: Maybe not.
