I see the link for a second or two, then poof, gone like my brother-in-law when the restaurant check comes. Pennsylvania Duck's posts drop out the most. At least I know now it's not just me. Samsung S10e smarty pants phone running Android 12

Quite possibly true, but Nix has to play within his skill set without boneheaded mistakes. He got away with at least one sure pick turned TD against EW. There won't be that luxury against BYU. The defense has to show up in a big way. Stellar play from Flowe and Sewell, particularly in the short passing game and pressure from Dorlus and Funa et al to hurry the BYU QB's reads and throws. No converted 3rd and 12s. More man coverage as the Oregon DBs will be challenged by the BYU WRs, but should be able to match up athletically. It'll have to be a better game than they have played up to now, but I think DL and crew will have them ready as there is plenty of tape on BYU to analyze. Go Dux!

Neuter Dam* and Ta$m both go down at home to FCS or lower tier teams. Be still my beating heart.

Field switched. Now Texas 19-17 but Bama in FG range with 0:35 left. Regardless, Georgia the new #1 and it takes a tiny amount of sting out of last week.

Texas now in FG range, 1:30 left on clock, down 17-16 to Bama

As a comparison to the air quality after the Holiday Farm fire in 2020. That was about as bad as it could get without sticking your face into a campfire. So 110-150 ppm counts ain't great and 95°F at game time won't help, but the game will almost certainly be played, with minimal risk for players and fans. Go Ducks!

As DC for the Bulldogs, Lanning drew up game plans against Nix and Auburn at least twice. He knows every weakness and tendency of his current starting QB and elected to start him against his former team (and HC) Saturday over the two younger QBs. While not quite a catastrophe, as the whuppin' at the hands of Georgia was a team effort, Nix exhibited his known flaws. If DL and the coaching staff opt to stick with him, then there is a lack of game time confidence in TT and Butters that may not change as the season rolls forward.

I see this in part as a response to not only media $$$ but also NIL payouts favoring those same Power 2 programs (I hesitate to say schools, as college football may no longer include the word 'college') and the CFP committee not wanting to lose total control over the process. Out of favor conferences like the ACC, Big12, Pac(?#) and the mid-majors will at least have a fighting chance of landing at least one team in the CFP. Alabama may have clobbered Cincinnati in the semis, but at least they made it there and it was worth watching to see if David could win over Goliath. Whether Oregon scoots to the BIG or stays to lead a revamped PAC, this can't hurt.

And they appear to have my demographic pegged. Time for another PSA and digital heinie probe.

Yikes Charles, these ads are getting a bit personal and persistent!

Or he'll be distracted by thoughts of weeding dandelions, moving furniture around, hanging curtains, which dishes go where and remembering to put the toilet seat down. Then again, the game might be a blissful respite from regular Saturday domestic life.

I'd prefer 12-0, but if we have to drop a game it might as well be to the reigning national champions that so graciously supplied us with a new head coach.

And the bonus is that Miami ends the season unranked, tho he does say that MC will build a winner in time.

Ouch! Double ouch as it is in the Seattle paper.

Sorry to see Breeze get cut. Not surprised to see the others on the list. Glad to see that VMlll, ABrown and DAllen are still in the hunt.

I am happy AB may land a spot with the Ravens as he seems to be a great kid with tons of heart. But all too often, be it a result of MC's anemic passing game strategy or Brown's case of the yips, the "touch" was the hash mark 3 yards in front of his target, the DB's fingertips or the sideline Gatorade cooler. The Raven's QB coach has gotta fix those jai alai windmill throwing mechanics for AB to stick in the league.

So Oregon and Georgia OLs are neck and neck. The defensive front seven sees them everyday in practice and appear to be a match, holding their own by early reports. So how does it follow, as predicted by much of the sports media, that Georgia will destroy Oregon by simply running the ball down their throats?

Last year after Flowe was lost for the season (as was Mathis), opponents could scheme around Sewell as his ILB counterparts were either nowhere near as talented (Heaukulani) or talented but much less experienced (Brown and LaDuke) With a healthy Flowe that will not be the case and attacking the middle of the defense will become much harder be it run or pass. Thunder and lightning indeed.

We beat tOSU last year in large part because their since dethroned DC thought he could outmuscle the Ducks and stayed in a base man defense, which Moorhead just schemed around and AB executed well. Vanilla defense can be outschemed. I get the impression that DL will trust his defense to run the more complicated formations that he found so successful when guiding UGA to the NC with the best defense in the country.
