Bryan Addison coming into his own during fifth season Bryan Addison's third season at defensive back has allowed him to expand his skillset. Still utilized primarily on passing downs, Addison has proven a tougher overall player this season than in the past. Addison, a fifth-year junior, credits head coach Dan Lanning for getting the most out of him. "I'd say coach Lanning really instilled that [toughness] in me — like you've got to be physical back there on the back-end," Addison said. "Being physical is one thing he preached to me, and I've taken it and run with it every day."

I ran across this short video while searching for articles for OBDF today and it had me thinking. Is the 12-team playoff format too much? No one really talks about it as it seems to be a done deal. There are interesting points brought out by the commentators: • If you were a play-in team, you would play an additional 4 games to reach the Championship. That is 1/4 of your regular season. In Oregon’s case, counting the Conference Championship, there is potential of a 17-game season! • Is that too much to ask of players, risking injury to their careers? • There is big money involved, should players get some access? • Or should alternatives of 8 or 12-game playoffs be considered?
