Bummer... not that the weather will be good, but that I just did my score prediction based on lots of rain.

Ducks 33-13 1 TO 3 Sacks 192 yards

Also, we might not like it sometimes, but spreading out the offense and throwing screens to the outside opens up the running lanes too. This is what Chip Kelley did. He sent folks out wide to open up the middle (fewer people in the box/fewer people to block). CK's offense was a running offence primarily, but the passes outside made it easier.

If I am remembering correctly, I believe that's what they did on that play. Tuioti (44) was in the middle, behind the defensive line a couple of yards. When the QB ran to the right towards the end zone, Tuioti ran fast to intercept him, but he ran into the back of one of the Ducks on the line, (I assume because he was pushed back by the offence). Tuioti fell down and the QB scored. The defense was called just as you described.

It was probably influenced by the #9 last Tuesday in the one that counts. This Tuesday they will probably move up one.

DUCKS 24-13 1 T/O 3 Sacks 199 yards

I certainly hope not.... because if he is, that means that Moga and Novosad are also below average. We have already said that Novosad and Moga could easily start somewhere else (something I agree with). I take all this to mean that BT could start somewhere else also. Will Stein and Dan Lanning didn't all of a sudden forget how to assess talent.

You support your nomination well, but they face stiff competition from Mario Cristobal and Miami.

Certainly sounds reasonable... And Charles agrees with you... 🤔 But I don't think I know enough to have an opinion.

Thank you Mike, for all the work you put into this.

Sounds to me like Lanning is saying that the only way he is leaving is if he is fired. I like that optic. Maybe we'll have to force him into retirement in another 50 years.

THAT!!! I wouldn't feel bad at all if Indiana won it all this year. Cignetti is an awesome coach who wins! (Google him.) Dan Lanning is still learning. We have compared Dante Moore to Nix and Gabriel and concluded that Moore needs Moore experience to be on their level. We can't say the same thing about Lanning comparing him to coaches who have had a couple decades of winning coaching practice??? I am rooting for the Ducks all the way... but if Indiana wins it.... GOOD FOR THEM!

And I think we should too. If Dante had stayed in the game, would the score have been much different? There is no way to know.

Brock Thomas was a 3* walk on out of Sheldon High School. Justin Herbert would have been a 3* walk on Sheldon High School if Oregon had not offered him a scholarship at almost the last minute. I don't think we should think of Brock as "just a walk on". I think we should look at him as a very talented young QB that is on the rise and capable of leading this team.
