Yep, Tez in a sling. Hate to speculate but the hit he took looked like it could be a fractured clavicle. Hope not.

Kawika Rogers in at RG

Ok. Take a deep breath. MatayoU just made a great play by sticking with the receiver on that RB passing play and Michigan turns it over on downs

Wake up call. If Tez is out, fair catch the dang ball. Feel bad for Pellum but you can't give Michigan a reason to believe.

Well, that flipped in a hurry. I agree that Miami doesn't look like a #5. Ward may make his mistakes but he is keeping the U afloat.

I'm no Duke fan, at least for hoops, but Im enjoying this. Cristobal getting outcoached again. Time for Mario to dial up the physicality meter to 11!

Well I suppose it makes a holding call a bit less likely. If Troy Dye could do his job with a club hand at LB, then Ajani will do just fine at OT.

So as far as blue-collar physicality vs new-age style is concerned, watch Noah knocking the Illinois DB arse over teakettle and into next Tuesday a few times. Tell me that Oregon is all flash, style and excitement. Don't recall DL spending much time coaching in the B1G. Do recall his time at Alabama and then coaching Georgia's defense to a NC. So we have the SEC mentality of strength and physicality combined with that silly new age speed on the Oregon side. How can that possibly compete against a century of blue and maize?

Wolverine fan is hoping to see a reincarnated Bo Schembechler lead the team out of the tunnel in the Big House.

In spite of losing to OBD in Autzen by one point, Day and THEosu are in an existential crisis this weekend. They have arguably the deepest NIL pockets in CFB, the best recruits, the top portal group and a genius OC, yet here they are. The Bucknut fanbase is lighting the torches and sharpening the pitchforks in case they fall to Penn St. It feels so good to see OBD in the driver's seat.

If Penn St takes down tOSU, I don't see Indiana beating the Bucknuts even at home, unless they just fold after two losses and Day is out the door. I'll go with two undefeated B1G teams come December. I think I'd rather see Penn St at Lucas Oil but if Indiana survives to get there even better, although it's essentially a home game for them.

I believe that is prosecutable as attempted murder in 38 states and the District of Columbia.

I see the victor of this game as OBDs likely opponent in the B1G CG. Who do we want to see square off against Oregon in Indy on Dec 7? Does it matter? Should Oregon Duck fans pull for Ohio State or Penn State to win in Week 10? AUTZENZOO.COM Beyond the importance of Oregon's road game at Michigan, the Ducks should pay, at least...

Targeting.... Don't launch No helmet to helmet No crown of helmet Don't touch 'defenseless' player Forfeit 15 yds and at least a half of a game All in the interest of player safety, but it has gone way over the top with every hard football hit getting reviewed. Not sure then how to judge Noah's truck stuck on that poor, defenseless Illinois DB, as Illini fan has complained it should have been targeting. Pretty soon it'll all be powder puff flag football.

Neither is really a spectator sport, but I may watch out of morbid curiosity and schadenfreude.

Oof. That kid is going to hear that repeated into his ear hole several times on Saturday and it may even get a mention on next week's Ducks vs Them. Rule #1: Never give the opposing team locker room greaseboard material, particularly when you lack the funds to cover that check.

Alex hit the key salient goals for Oregon to leave the Big House with the W. Although the Wolverines have a lame passing game, they will undoubtedly have some air wrinkles as they cannot afford to have OBD load the box behind Harmon, Caldwell, Tuioti and MatayoU. The edge will need to be held, gaps maintained, with solid man or zone DB discipline and any misdirection appropriately read to limit anything through the air. A bit like Illinois but with a better defense, Michigan isn't built to come back from two touchdowns down. A fast start by Oregon could put the game away by the half. This is a contest where the 3rd quarter offensive issues could be a problem if the O sputters early or if there are turnovers. I don't expect that as Oregon's talent edge is big enough to stay at least one score ahead of what Michigan can recover from.

So out of the old Pac-12, only #1 Oregon and #22 Wazzu are in the top 25 of the coaches poll. Who'd of figured that one?

CBS hacks certain it's targeting on Holden. Nope. D holds after the pick. Now run the ball and take it home.

Loss of focus since the half. Stop Illinois this series and run the damn ball to kill this game.

Some things never change!

Everyone contributing on offense. Lamar, Sadiq, Whittington, Lowe, Herbert along with the usual suspects.

Yeah, ok. May have underestimated the Oregon point total in my prediction. Quite an offensive show.

I don't see this happening as that would shut the loser of the B1G and SEC CGs out of the playoffs, teams that will routinely be in the top 10, while advancing weaker teams from other conferences. Like others here, I would be in favor of ranking teams at the end of the regular season for the playoffs ( crowning the reg season winner conference champs). That would obviate having the two best teams in a conference beat each other up before the playoffs.
