The obvious lead is the win by OBD over UCLA, holding the Bruins without an offensive touchdown. I hope someone out there can tell me when that last happened outside of a cupcake matchup at the beginning of the season. Things always to clean up, DL said they are heading to "the doctor" immediately to try to fix some of the issues. Short week for OBD before they face Michigan State at Autzen. Hoping T-Ferg injury is NOT serious. The following is my opinion, feel free to disagree: Mark Helfrich is NOT a good commentator. His voice has such a flat affect that it's hard to listen to. I switched off the volume and listened to Jerry and Jorgy. Bama was a juggernaut, until they weren't and they almost gave the game away to Georgia. Texas struggled for most of the game with Mississippi State before breaking it open. Georgia has two identities and not sure what one will show up. I predict that Georgia will NOT make the playoff this year. I think Tennessee and Texas beat Georgia, and I also think Ol' Miss has a chance as well. My conspiracy radar says that the review booth received a call from the ACC commissioner on the VT/Miami game that went something like this: "Y'all know what you need to do. The ACC NEEDS to be relevant. If we give this game to VT, our highest ranked team is Clemson at #17 and we could miss the playoffs." UW lost to Rutgers. It was a beautiful thing! The UW Forums are ready to run Jedd out of town already. They were also complaining so much that they had to travel to Rutgers and that OBD only had to go LA. It was quite humorous to read! Wazzu has a better record than UW. Boise State needs to keep winning! Ashton Jeanty should be the Heisman front-runner. Finally, I don't see a team that is head and shoulders above another team this year. Ohio State and/or Texas maybe are the cream of the crop at week 5 but things can change very quickly.

I bet Portland State would maybe consider an invite. Maybe OIT from Klamath Falls.

The announcers just called Cam McCormick "The College Methuselah"!!

Wow, VT is not flinching against Miami at all! They just went back up by 10!

Virginia Tech is playing Miami tough. They picked off Ward at the goal line and just went up 21-14 in with 6 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. It's over on ESPN if anyone is interested.

I haven't seen this name suggested and so I'm gonna throw it out there. For those of you that still have kids at home, you'll recognize the dual meaning of the name. Folks, I give you the SUS-12 Hear me out. There are too meanings here. One is that all of these schools seem to be State Universities, so State University Schools - 12. Now, the dual meaning is that "Sus" is shorthand for suspicious and these schools are suspiciously masquerading as relevant. So, there ya go. The new power 5 conference, the SUS-12.

Cam Ward: "Coach, we have the ball and they are out of time outs, let's just take a knee and get the dub" Mario: "Orrrrrrrr, we could do what they aren't expecting and use our physicality to run the ball one last time. Yeah, let's use our physicality!" Cam Ward: "Coach, I've seen that blow-up on you twice!" Mario: "Third time's a charm"

Watched a podcast with Matt Prehm and his UCLA counterpart. It was sad from the UCLA standpoint. The UCLA podcaster said (laughingly) that they blame Oregon for the Chip Kelly hire because we made him look good!!! 😄 He went on to say that Foster was someone the players wanted even though he had no head coaching experience and that what the players want and what they need are two different things. The players that wanted Foster can transfer out and then you've hired someone who may be in over their head. Some boosters thought Foster would appeal to the "older UCLA fans" because of his connection with the school. Kinda reminds me of all the folks who were calling for Wilcox over Lanning. He believes that UCLA is in a complete rebuild mode. They are still dangerous though.

USC is in a very precarious position. They have joined a conference with much more elite and desirable schools (Oregon being one of them) and are in danger of just becoming a Wisconsin-West in the B1G. Recruiting has become an issue, and keeping their "star" recruits is now a challenge. There is a story about a massive, unsinkable ship and an iceberg...can't recall the name, rhymes with Mitanic. No matter, the parallels are there.

I see the potential for a huge parody right there!!

Well, this is what our D is up against for this week: 267 yards?!?! https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3523880/boise-state-rb-ashton-jeanty-started-the-season-with-a-casual-267-yards-and-6-touchdowns

Never wanted to see the day when a MC coached team had more big plays and scored more points than OBD. But it happened yesterday. Against an SEC team. Away. "Shout" sounded good though.

When Desmond Howard said that The Ducks would win the National Championship, the roar from the crowd was amazing!! Clearly lots of Duck fans in Ireland!

First ESPN Gameday of the season. Desmond Howard picked Oregon to win the Big 10 AND the National Championship. Kirk Herbstreit picked Ohio State to win the Big 10 but said Oregon will win the natty. Oregon is done flying under the radar. But first, Idaho.

I am so ready for football!! Just the intro gave me goosebumps!!

Last month I took a flight from PDX to Las Vegas and Mr. Burch was on that flight. Reading the height/weight numbers does not due this man justice. I was absolutely incredified at how big this guy is. To know that a man that size can move like he does is amazing. I talked very briefly with him and his demeanor, politeness, and attitude are intangibles that will make him a very successful person both on and off the field. Lanning has said it many times that he wants good players on the field who are good people off the field. Mr. Burch epitomizes that.

If this was Gabriel's second season with the Ducks, I would LOVE the Ducks chances. Since this is year one, I really LIKE the chances. I am hopeful that the chemistry with the offense develops rapidly and the team lives up to and exceeds the expectations!

Best mascot in college football! Oregon Duck mascot’s cross-country tour continues with interview on ESPN’s ‘Pat McAfee Show’ WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The Duck sat down for a wide-ranging, uhh, conversation with McAfee.

I can think of one area where USC would be totally dominate: The American Conference. Oh wait, that's where Tulane plays. USC could totally dominate the MAC.

It's okay USC...you DID get a punter. USC football adds commitment from Hawaii transfer punter Cameron Shirangi 247SPORTS.COM USC adds another specialist out of the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Dang it!! This thread reminds me of what I forgot to do....I was gonna check Goodwill to see if I could find any of the Pac-12 Network gear and the Pac-12 Jerseys the refs were wearing.

I know next to nothing about Novosad. He looked good throwing the ball and moving in the pocket. My only concern when I looked at him vs. Gabriel vs. Moore is that he has a very slight frame. I don't want to sell the kid short because he may be tough as nails but we are going into a conference with some big dudes. His durability would be a concern for me until he bulks up. Again, I don't know much about him and my impression is only what my opinion.

I was going to say something about maybe seeing a doctor for that, but I will refrain.

Jordan James is a wrecking ball!
