So, the Backup QB is...Austin Novosad?
When I saw it, I thought it made sense. If DG goes down, Novosad is the backup to Dante. Give him the experience of receiving a couple of hikes, a hand off and a knee in front of a live audience. If he is #3, he will not get any meaningful snaps in a real game unless Dillon and Dante both go down. Give him at least a LITTLE experience with the TV cameras on.

Some Of The Beavers Stats
Of course, that 98 was AFTER the Beavers shut them out 21-0. I watched the game and the Beavers played very well on both sides of the ball. SDS is definitely not where they have been historically, hence, the new head coach. SDS will be back. They were a hair and a whisker away from joining the PAC-12. They still might. They are down right now and the Beavers took advantage.

Boise State Game is on Peacock Streaming
I noticed the B1G network had "Football in 60" just a couple of days after the games. Since I have to work during the game, I decided to hope for "Football in 60" to record later so I can watch it. Also, someone a week or so ago said that the game would be available later, either on the B1G network or the B1G app. Any confirmation on that????

Knock Me Over With a Duck Feather...
I was mostly disappointed with the O-Line play, particularly, that of Cornelius. He didn't play like one of the best tackles in the country. ¿TWO illegal formation penalties? That is something that won´t happen again. Also, WAY to many sacks. Right now, the O-Line is a weakness. I don´t think we should underestimate how good Idaho´s defense is. They are ranked 7th in the country in their division. They will no doubt be rated higher this week. We've heard experts say for years that the biggest jump that a team makes during the season is between the first and second weeks. Oregon now has an opportunity to prove that thesis.

49ers Should Have Listened to Lenoir....
I can hear the fear now: "The last guy that didn't listen to D. Lenoir got fired a week later." Maybe DL will make a great coach someday.

Holy Crap! Look at What Oregon's Projected Team Weakness Is...
I guess it's better to be Oregon than New Mexico this year. (Who could have known?) I looked up Miami, half expecting to see "head coach".

"The Duck" Continues His Visits to the BIG Ten
It wouldn't make it under the bridge at Harrisburg. There are other obstacles in the river as well. When it is inflated, it is anchored and there are guy wires attached all around it to hold it up. Otherwise, it would topple over in even a slight wind. 65 feet high makes for a very big sail.

Would B1G Fans Handle Getting "Ducked-Up" at Their Home Games?
Totally hilarious! I laughed out loud when he put an X in Seattle and then ripped it off the map!

House Case/NIL Settlement (Proposed)
Unlimited scholarships is what led to "Blue Bloods" becoming and staying "Blue Bloods". The 85 scholarship limit brought more parity to college football. Today with NIL, it is possible for a team to get over the limit by simply paying enough NIL to cover the tuition plus. That is a little more acceptable to me as there is no such thing as unlimited NIL money.

This is How to Make Bowl Season Matter Again
I understand that Bowl Season is not the same as it once was, but it definitely still matters... to a lot of people. Just look at Arizona State last year. The football staff and especially the athletes got the wind knocked out of them when the University decided they would not be going to any bowl game before the season started. They were not expecting to get to a big name bowl. They would have been happy to go to the "Little Sisters of the Poor" Bowl. For many athletes, getting to a Bowl game is their only chance to be on TV. The fact that maybe only families and friends might be interested in watching cuts down on the Bowl attendance and viewership. Many bowl are sponsored by the city that hosts it. Venues look for Bowls; Bowls don't generally look for venues. It helps the local economy. Family, friends, and fans, that can afford it, all make the trip, which supports local businesses. Speaking of the economy, all bowl games are driven by economics. Economically sponsoring a bowl game has to make economic sense to the sponsoring companies. TV will not get involved if it makes no economic sense to do so. Since all of these Little Sister Bowls have sponsors and are on TV, they must matter to someone. All this is not to say that Bowl Season cannot be thought out a little better... but it might be better if individual bowls were allowed to make most of those decisions. Paying NIL would be helpful to the athletes, but for the Little Sisters Bowl, it's not going to change anyone's mind about sitting out because those athletes just want to come and play. Bowl eligibility at 6-6 (50%) was a raising of the bar at the time it was first imposed. Becoming bowl eligible at 6 wins matters. To raise that bar to 7 wins just so we can have fewer bowls? Let the economy decide how many bowls we need. People don't have to be interested in watching every bowl. The stadiums don't have to be full. A whole lot of students just want to play one more game. If someone wants to flip the bill, I say let the kids play.

Oregon Football's Best On-Field Sponsorships
Other Nike clients will also take Nike's money. Nike wouldn't mind being on every field that use their uniforms and shoes. They might pay a little more for the privilege in Autzen. But that is determined by viewership more than anything.

RIP Bill Walton - Dead of Cancer at Age 71
