Sounds like he'll fit right in here. ...and we won't use the word prowess here much either.

I kind of liked the Cascade Clash when it was mentioned on TV. It sounded appropriate.

I only got to see most of the 1st half because of having to go to work, and I don't remember seeing him get a target. This is what I was expecting most of all in the first half. He was probably VERY effective in being a decoy. With Tez on the field, the defense had to put one of their best guys on him... naturally opening up more space for Stewart, Holden and Ferguson. It worked well. Tez is a monster whether or not he is targeted.

4 game losing streak against that team up north.

What would Mario do now???? Go for it.

What a great time out. Messing with their minds.

Ducks 39-6 2 TO 5 Sacks 319 Passing

Great article. I am remembering in Lanning's first year (I think), that in a press conference he answered a question about his own self-education and what he does to better his football IQ. One of the things he said is that any time he hears of a trick play being called anywhere - college or high school - that he gets film of it to study it. What a great idea!

How hot would Ryan Day's seat be if he lost to Dan Lanning by one point... three times this year???

Just so that their loss in the first round will look all the more dramatic.

All we have to do to make this a bitter rivalry and become "the team out west" is beat anOSU a few more times in a row. (...and to always refer to them as anOSU)

Any team that goes 11-1 in the B1G, playing 9 conference games deserves a playoff spot. There are no cupcakes in the B1G. The SEC replaces one conference game with a cupcake game. That's my opinion.

Indiana 33 - 32 1 turnover 2 sacks 211 yards

I've been rooting for Indiana all year to beat anOSU. They've had enough time to jell. If they win, there is NO WAY Indiana jumps Oregon who has beaten anOSU as well as other ranked teams... ESPECIALLY since Indiana will have a chance to prove it is better than Oregon the very next week in the Conference Championship Game.

They should always try to put the top 2 contenders from the same conference in opposite sides of the bracket.

Yep! Wait! Where is #2 anOSU on this list?

surprise, surprise.

They are running into a brick wall. Looks like Mari....

Bummer

Go D!

I didn't notice a buyout number. They need a $72M buyout... and THAT won't stop some suiters from calling... if his history holds on into the future.

Ducks 42 - 10 2 4 302

TOTALLY agree with the article. The long game is in play. The third quarter mystery isn't a mystery to DL. One of the announcers pointed out against a weaker opponent (Maryland? Illinois?) that Oregon wasn't calling plays with the O-line doing exotic things like we see against stronger opponents... it was mostly just strait ahead blocking. This is especially true in the 3rd quarter. We could be scoring in the third quarter with perfect execution of the bland plays, it's just harder to score when we are not using everything in the tool box. One thing I have thought is that Dan is playing rope-a-dope in the third quarter so that everyone thinks that Oregon has a third quarter problem. I've been thinking that we won't see a pedal to the metal third quarter until the post season... then watch out! The long game was not used until the an Ohio State game, when Dan announced during practice week, "we are going over the top" to his team, something we didn't learn until Ducks vs. Them came out. The third quarter might not be used until CC game... or maybe not until the playoffs.

Actually, it's only 2 3*s. Even more impressive.

That side note looks more like a HEADLINE!
