The Kamikaze Kid

ASU looks pretty good. Nice turn around by coach Dilly.

Does Day survive the walk back to the Locker room?

Damn. Michigan came to play. Massive hit on the QB who's still down.

Vandy returns the opening kick for TD and already leads Tennessee 14-0 still in the 1st quarter.

Georgia Tech was one late QB fumble from deserving to be ranked ahead of both of them.

Got home from work, flipped on the tube to watch a little football and somehow I entered the Twilight Zone.

Looks like GT has learned a little too well about late game clock management from Mario.

Ga Tech seems to be doing everything they can to both win and lose this game.

UO 27-17 3 TOs 3 Sacks 265 Passing yards

Oregon will do what it needs to secure the win and keep the rest of the powder dry for the BIG Championship.

I hate the fuskies because I’m alive. Probably will when I’m dead too!

1-0 vs PAC 2 0-2 vs PACked up and left

At least they can't be mad that everybody left anymore.

Stanford - Miami. They haven't played yet but oh man when they do!.......

He sees the future of the BIG Ten as green and yellow and seems pretty cool with it.

Guaranteed mega contracts are destroying sports.

Texas Indiana is the game we need. Make it happen playoff committee!

You would think the committee would have some sort of plan dealing with the top two teams from the same conference. Seeds two through four aren’t based on ranking so why should number five? If one through four just go to highest ranked conference champs then the number two ranked team should just automatically be put in the number six slot to set up a one vs two matchup. The whole goal of the playoffs should be to match up the two best teams in the championship not just in an early round.

Great article. I also agree with the props given to Boettcher. To be undefeated and No. one in the country entering the final week of the season requires exceptional contributions from many different players performing many different roles at the highest level. Here's a few more I thought of. Most Improved Unit: Offensive line. After the Boise St game, it did not feel that a special season was eminent. Quite the contrary. It felt like the O line was going to be the thing that held them back yet by the end of the year they were the strength of the team. Out playing the entire Big at their own game in season one gave the Ducks instant cred far beyond the expected dash and flash. X Factor Spark: Tez Johnson. Beyond special teams excellence, defenses needed to game plan for him specifically and that still did not help. He always makes the first defender look silly and if he does that to the second, he's gone. I'd say he's been the most dynamic play maker since DAT. Super Sub: Justius Lowe. Filling Tez's absent shoes was a monumental chore and Lowe did that exceptionally well. He became a legit threat and had to be taken seriously in defensive schemes which was important in spreading the defense too thin to deal with so many threats. Cash Money Threes: Atticus Sappington deserves special mention for being a reliable kicker that can be a difference maker in close games. After Wisconsin I think we all can feel confident that points can be put on the board when drives stall. In the playoffs, this part of the game will have even more significance.

Every week is husky hate week but this one just means more!

I may be off but by my calculation, the Pac finishes as follows. OBD 1-0 Cal 1-0 WSU 1-1 Beavis 1-2 fuskies 0-1

The Ducks will be laser focused on the team Lanning is 0-3 against. tOSU may be looking ahead to the rematch while facing a Michigan team that's looking for a face saving win. Next week will be very interesting.

tOSU 26-24 3 TOs 3 Sacks 290 passing bards

Another great article! I'm really looking forward to the day that Lanning's high school recruits start filling out the position charts and portal guys come in to fill in a few gaps here and there. With so many portal guys currently occupying the first team slots, it's hard to know who rises up and claims the starter positions and who's going to be playing behind the next wave of portal starters. As of right now, the two and three deep at most positions are being taken by many four and some five star players. I'm hoping they become the starters of the future.

Lanning's understanding of human psychology is so many levels beyond the next level it's nearly impossible to comprehend. These Duck's vs Them videos will generate their own fields of study. The concoction of football knowledge, commitment to team work, education and mental growth and straight up clairvoyance that meld together in his brain make him much more than a mere football coach. What's going on right before our eyes is so far beyond to sheer wizardry of the Kelly years. We are a very lucky fan base. The team is a very lucky group of players. The amazing video production crew is very lucky to have access to such unreal content. The only ones not lucky are the ones up next on the schedule and this week it really is THEM!
