I’ll take risk averse over this abomination of coaching from Dan Lanning. But the offense was fun.

Sun Devil fans have been reliving 1996 for a quarter century.

He's gone.

2017 Herbert runs and get's injured. 2018 and 2019 EVERYONE was complianing about Herbert not running.

Styles make fights.

USC going to the CFP and Oregon the Rose is the highest payout for the conference.

Of course he’s leaving. Why stay and get injured again. Take emotion out of the decision and it’s an easy financial choice.

NIL funds must be allocated towards improving the DL personnel. There’s not enough out west.

A lot do that is due to the fact that premier defensive linemen have been leaving the West coast for the BIG10 and South. San Diego State being added to the conference isn’t going make it better. JTT is at Ohio State and Jayden Wayne left for Miami. No scheme is going to fix not having talent on the DL. In 2019 Oregon was carried by their defense with AA coaching them. They were 13th in the nation and 1st In the conference in overall defense.

Take Utah and the points. Easy money. TT & JB don’t have the confidence or ability.

I think they are.

I guess that would be satisfactory for some.

I don’t have a problem with is. So many programs using spread uptempo and the rules now favoring the offense more and more. Defenses can’t even tackle a quarterback without the player getting kicked out the game and I don’t trust the incompetent Pac-12 referees. Saban’s teams do it. Dani’s teams do it. Even Kirby’s teams did it in the national title game when Bama had a chance to change the game. Must adapt or perish.

If only Mykael Wright had decided to come back for his senior year. He was an electric return guy who Cristobal for some reason decided to not utilize. He probably would have gotten the development needed to actually get drafted which he wasn't. I alwasy felt he declared a year too early and should have stayed like Lenior who'se on the 49ers.

Perhaps he's not very coach able. Perhaps he simply doesn't have the "IT" factor the way 5 star Spencer Rattler got overtaken by freshman Caleb Williams at Oklahoma. Spencer is still a horrible quarterback at South Carolina after transferring from Oklahoma. 247 talent evaluators don't always get it right. If you go and analyze the recruiting rankings going back 15 years you will see plenty of 5 stars who never panned out.

He was barely a 5 star. Not consensus like Moore. I think he’s simply a bust.

TT has had plenty of time under two staffs now. He’s a bust.

The Big10 & SEC have quietly been hiring the top rated referees from the other conferences through increased salary. I cannot wait until that invitation in a few years during expansion movement again.

Might be time for the program to allocate NIL resources towards defensive lineman and edge rushers. Atheltic corners and linebackers are a dime a dozen out west but premier pass rushers & line stuffers are a scarce commidity especially west of the Rockies.

Reminds me a little of Bob Stoops. He was a defensive coach and the DC for Spurrier when the Gators won the title in 1996. His long tenure at OU wasn't known for defense. Being a defensive coach is not the same as being the head coach.

Oregon needs to leave the Pac-12 so they simply don’t keep getting screwed over by these referees. The incompetence is astounding. Every season the low quality of refereeing costs Oregon. How much money have these referees costs the conference payout. Too tired to do the math tonight but it’s easy to calculate. The BIG10 pays their referees and invests in them. This conference does no such thing. Can’t wait for the eventual invitation. Good Riddance Pac-12

USC is going to have a hard time replacing Dye's production and leadership. When the passing game wasn't productive they would lean on him heavily as their bellcow. The depth behind him is not great. Addison, their top wideout is also not 100% after missing several games due to injury. They have some depth at receiver with Kyle Ford, Mario Williams and Tahj Washington, but Addison, the reigning Biletnikoff award winner, was the best of the bunch. He did not look like himself against Colorado with only one reception for two yards. I'm taking UCLA depending on the line set after they play Arizona.

Auburn just hired a search firm and they didn’t even have Dan Lanning as a potential candidate. Fanboy Auburn site was looking to gin up some good feelings for the Auburn fans and generate some subscription sign ups after a horrible couple seasons.

You might want to look up sports illustrated and what kind of company they are and how/who they get their content from these days. This isn't the Rick Reilly days of SI.

You could add DJU from Clemson to that meme as well. Consensus 5 Star blur chip rated QB. Talk about a disappointment. I expect he hits the transfer portal after Clemson is done this season. His brother Matayeo being a 5 star defensive end Oregon is recruiting this cycle could play a factor. DJ grew up loving Oregon and rooting for Masoli & Mariota. Could be his chance to get his career back on track to get to the NFL.
