USC should not even be in the Top 25. After giving up 49 to 3-5 Cal, and winning by only 1, there's no way they shouldn't have dropped in the rankings. I don't think it will be long until Riley is off to the NFL.

Oregon 44 Cal 17 And we'll score 37 of those points in the first 3 1/2 quarters, whereby Lanning will pull everyone out for the remainder of the game.

I was close on the Duck's score with 38, but never-ever would I have thought that we'd hold Utah in Salt Lake to two FGs. Well done, TerryM9!

Surprisingly, we don't have to go back very far at all to answer your question. In 2019, we started off with 4 of our first 6 games holding the opposition to 6 points or less. And even more amazing, in 5 of the first 6 games that year, we held our opponent to 7 points or less. And in the second half of that season, we held one more team to just 7 points. Btw, our first game of that 2019 season was against Auburn in Dallas where we lost 21-27. Anyone happen to remember who Auburn's freshman quarterback was?

My guess is that because our offense is so incredibly balanced, that Bo will be penalized for that in regards to the Heisman. Which would be totally wrong and a shame.

Followed by Lanning saying, "Next season."

Cal leading SC 36-29 late in the 3rd

Go Cal Bears -- Beat USuCs! Bears 36-29 with 4:42 left in the 3rd.

This road win reminds me of the Dennis Dixon days. I don't remember seeing a road win as dominant as this at an extremely tough place to play since those days.

I was just kidding there. I had us winning 38-30. I never expected to see something like what we saw today.

That's amazing. Incredibly well done.

Lanning made the right call.

I had Oregon winning 36-6. So, not bad. Jk. I had them 38-30.

Our defense was just freakishly amazing out there today. Wow.

Best the Ducks have looked in years against a damn good opponent at a tough place to play.

Charles - You're spot on... if the goal is to punch our ticket and get into the playoffs, then every remaining game is a single elimination game. If, however, we're good with the likes of the Liberty, Sun, Alamo, or the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl... well then, that's a different story. If on Saturday Oregon plays like they are more than capable of doing, they win a tough slugfest by something like 38-30.

Frankly, I'd say the likelihood of Williams bailing out on the season is about 0%. But what I like about this story, and the ones talking about Riley potentially dumping USC for an NFL job, it that it all further underscores the craphole program, and disarray, known as USC football. They are also getting eaten alive by much of the So Cal media. All on the eve of their 'triumphant' move to the B1G. Admittedly, perhaps I am taking to much pleasure from this. But, IMHO, it couldn't be happening to a more deserving, and arrogant, program.

Not sure if this has already been covered, but there actually is talk going on that now that USC's season is officially in the el-crapper, should Williams just call it a season and sit out the rest of the year. The thing I absolutely love about this discussion, regardless of the outcome, is how it completely encapsulates and underscores how the wheels have totally blown off the USC season --- right in time for them to enter the B1G. How sweet it is. MSN WWW.MSN.COM

Plus, we're finally coming into the best weather in the nation down here. Can't wait for the ASU game in Tempe in a few weeks.

Absolutely perfect. LOL

Bucky - 180 total yards

100% agree. Maybe Stein bet against the spread. 😉

293 yards passing. 251 yards rushing. The Oregon offensive balance is just exceptional.

5 sacks on Ward, who obviously has a great arm combined with exceptional mobility, is seriously impressive. Before today, WSU had only given up 13 sacks on Ward. So far, Oregon had added about 40% to that number.

C'mon man! That was just awesome.
