I remember Mariota was "frustrated" that it took him a couple weeks to get the offense down. 🙃

The best way to get more day games is to play the best football in the west. ESPN, FOX, etc. want the most eyeballs watching them that they can get. Hence better times for higher ranked teams. I have no clue why nobody wanted USC - OSU this week. OSU should be rated, as should WSU.

I was always rooting for him to be the guy at Oregon. He would do great in this offence. The room is a little full, especially with who is coming in.

...or in 7 seconds when you receive the kick off. The look on the faces of the Kansas State fans was priceless. ...and DAT is how we do it.

I saw him throw several blocks. One good thing I notice is that he is being smart about the blocks he throws. He usually just throws a shoulder into a guy to slow him down just a bit. He knows that he doesn't have to throw his whole body into someone else to completely stop them in their tracks. This is coaching. I don't know when Bo was taught this, but it is a very smart move. The guy would get banged up bad if he was always throwing his body into people.

Perhaps his best recruiting so far...

One impression I had is that Bo still can be coached. One thing that has been repeated here and throughout the media (and during every game) is that Bo is still inconsistent after 4 years in the game. What I am referring to is Bo's use of the out of bounds pass. Without doubt KD and DL have been drilling that into his head since the Georgia game. From what we saw yesterday, maybe it is starting to sink in... a little. He didn't seem to force any (many?) dumb throws through non-existent windows. Instead, he threw the ball away to live another down. It worked.

What a play by Dorlus! What a scheme!

You can tell that these running backs have been told to look for a hole... not just run into a wall.

Starting to like Irving.

4 seconds difference in time of possession???

UCLA wins with last second field goal.

Charles, after the first game, asked Is Oregon that bad, or is Georgia that good. I think we have the answer. Georgia is lights out.

South Alabama is beating UCLA Cal leading ND 17-14.... now tied

Nice clock management.

Touchdown!!!!

BYU tired? or just wanted to slow down the steam engine?

4th and 1....... Got it!

Bo nix is showing why he is the starter.

Irving ain't bad.

Cal hanging with ND. 7-0, Cal in the 2nd.

I am one who does NOT WANT Oregon to leave the PAC. To me, there is a lot of upside with staying. I am aware that I have zero say in the matter.

When Dan Fouts was earning his spot in the Hall of Fame with the San Diego Chargers, he gave a tell. Before EVERY pass play he licked his fingers just before going under center. He NEVER licked his fingers before a run play... ...unless he did the opposite. He could go the whole season indicating run or pass on every play. But it was all on purpose. Only in an important game, on an important play of that game, he would break the pattern to gain an advantage. Dan threw for 43,040 yards and 254 touchdowns. He also threw 242 interceptions. Did the strategy work, or not?

As much as that sounds good. I think it is more important to root for the PAC 12. Oregon State and Washington State improved the PAC's profile in the world. If USC, UW, CAL, and UO come through this weekend, the PAC's stature in the world grows. You want Oregon to be top 6 by the end of the year? Beating a ranked UW, a ranked OSU, and a ranked Utah, on the way to beating a ranked USC in the championship game is a great way to get there... (tough my personal preference is beating OSU twice - an undefeated OSU at the end of the regular season and a one loss OSU in the championship game).

Thanks for the read. For me, the glass is a lot more than half full.
