No OSU player or coach ever said they were humiliated to lose to Oregon at Autzen. Like Jon said. Chip is smart butt east coast guy and couldn't resist a good quip.

Where do you get these numbers?

Say whatever. Chip was an innovator in his time with the Ducks and helped them create the brand that they are. He was not a good public speaker or recruiter. So the Buckeyes are blessed to have the best offensive coordinator there is. He now gets to do what he loves, which is to out scheme the other side. He demonstrated this again against ND to win the championship. And yes he was talking some sh#t.

Not buying the layoff was to blame for the lobsided result. As the article pointed out the Buckeyes had three weeks between the Michigan butt kicking lesson and the demolition of Tennessee. Beat them as bad as the Ducks with three weeks off. They used the time as a lesson and to get their act together. As far as what the Ducks need going forward, experience at the highest levels is the number one. Sometimes a good butt kicking is just what you need when you are cruising high on yourself.

Why Oregon was so outclassed at the Rose Bowl by Ohio State | The Seattle Times

At this point in the season OSU would beat the Ducks 8 out of 10 times. I say at this time because this team has evolved schematically and found it's mojo and swagger after the loss to Michigan. Kelly has ramped up the aggression and is allowing the supremely athletic players make plays. The player and coach meetings led to the players demanding to be cut loose. The defense has totally changed since Saban called their approach antiquated. I think the defensive coordinator has finally wrestled control away from the long time line coach and is scheming up a storm. Hence the 8 sacks on the ducks. Another difference between the talent of the Ducks and Buckeyes is that the Buckeye players have been more developed by time in the program. Many of Oregon's best players came from the portal. New to the team. Jack Sawyer convinced many of his draft ready teammates to come back for one more year. Look who's dominated: Henderson, Sawyer, Tuimoloau, and Egbuka. Finally, with the players cut loose the Buckeyes superior strength and speed show. Look how fast Henderson, Downs, and Styles play. In the Rose bowl the Buckeyes manhandled Oregon's offensive line. Men playing boys. I am an Oregon fan until they play the Buckeyes. Had football and women's basketball season tickets for over 10 years. Love the Ducks. They will be back. But they have some growing to do.

The Buckeyes after some soul searching upon losing to Oregon and Michigan made big changes to both their offense and defense. They have evolved into their potential despite a diminished offense line. I believe Oregon is the second-best team in college. Going in I thought the winner of the game would go all the way. Still do.

As another said, Alabama is the Mountain peak. He will have to go. Alabama will have no problem with a $20 million buyout. Donors will be rising out of the Mississippi. Only chance is if Vrabel takes it. But who opts out of the NFL anymore. Kiffin is too squirrelly for staid Alabama. DeBoer too much outsider. Dabo's been labeled behind the times. He's a butt anyway. Watch out! Damn, I was hoping to see what Lanning could do in the Big 10.

She seemed pretty homesick in that article. The WNBA is not the only venue for pro ball. She may want to play closer to home in Europe.

How about that Rose bowl? Ohio State and the Ducks went in opposite directions after their game in Columbus. It shows the difference between a program that has developed a football culture and one who's head coach consistently spoke in hollow quotes from Navy Seals. While the Buckeyes made coaching changes on the defensive side of the ball, Oregon stayed the course with a below average quarterback in his sixth year. What if Oregon had gone with their young 5 star quarterback and let him develop as the Buckeyes did with Stroud? Hopefully with the new coaching staff, the Ducks will start acting like the big time program it wants to be.

Yeah right. And Ryan Day will leave Ohio State to be the HC.
