The LA schools have become Oregon feeder schools. 😂

Abdul Carter, Tyler Warren forced to wear Oregon gear after lost bets to Pro Ducks “Each and every year, we end up seeing some of these players, former college stars, end up wearing the clothing of some of their most hated rivals, thanks to lost bets on Saturday afternoons. This week, it was both New York Giants star Abdul Carter and Indianapolis Colts star Tyler Warren — both rookies who played for the Penn State Nittany Lions a year ago — who were made to wear Oregon Ducks gear for their media availabilities on Wednesday.” Buckner: “You look good. You should’ve been a Duck.” https://sports.yahoo.com/article/abdul-carter-tyler-warren-forced-122737621.html

Joel Klatt agrees that Penn State is running the wrong offensive system for Drew Allar (4:24).

The problem, IMHO, is that Penn State is not running a pro-style, physical, smash-mouth offense with some play-action passes. They are playing some RPO that does not take advantage of their QB’s strengths/limitations. A former Penn State offensive lineman posted a great video breaking down the 4th quarter PSU plays. Drew Allar made some good plays but he also missed some reads and, of course, made a horrible throw in OT. I don’t think he is the right fit for the system they are currently running and that is 100% on their coaching staff.

It’s the best decision for the young man’s career. Oregon’s RB room is stacked and 2 true freshman appear to be the most talented of the position group. I wish Makhi Hughes the best and hope he can find someplace to star.

More likely a USC fan working in Hollywood. I personally think it’s awesome that we have one of the biggest young movie stars playing a former Oregon QB. Great publicity and shows that Oregon is relevant.

“Oregon is the one team in college football that can look Ohio State in the eyes and beat them. Something they did last season already. This year's Ducks team is better and they have a better quarterback than last year's squad.”

Hopefully Dante Moore talks to Justin Herbert and Bo Nix about the importance of playing and learning as much as possible before putting his name in the NFL draft hat. There is no substitute for in-game experience for a QB. There are plenty of examples of very talented QBs, with only a year or two of starting experience at the collegiate level, who were thrust into starting in the NFL, with very high expectations, for really bad organizations (there is a reason the same teams are always picking at the top of the draft), who failed spectacularly in the NFL. Staying and learning does not guarantee success but I believe that it increases a QBs odds of success (and that second contract is where you really strike gold).

I personally believe that Penn State fans think too highly of their program and have unrealistic expectations (perhaps based on past success). They do not recruit the talent that Ohio State, Michigan and Oregon do so they have to out scheme and out execute those teams. Franklin wins all of the games he is supposed to win, which is why they are always in the conversation for the playoffs. I think to win, Penn State needs to play like Stanford did under Harbaugh. I’m not sure that they can get the athletes required at the skill positions and the weather is pretty lousy later in the season to play a pass first style of offense. When they hit on a highly skilled QB they can compete for a national championship.

Someone mentioned that under Riley new defensive coordinator’s defenses get softer the longer they coach under Riley. I wonder if it’s the overall culture that Riley creates. If he doesn’t let the players hit and bang in practice then they will not be prepared to play physical in games. USC’s current DC did an amazing job at UCLA, with less talent. His defense at USC looks soft as warm butter and no better than the last USC DC. It appears to be a cultural/mindset problem. (Not that I mind one bit, as an Oregon Ducks fan.)

My ears were ringing for a couple of days and I lost my voice. Now I wear ear plugs…

Aaron Fentress also said on his podcast that he thought Autzen was louder and George Wrightster said that he talked to 5 members of the current team, after the game, and they all concurred. Everyone admits that it was a very impressive environment.

"It was like some sort of crazy torture in the movies. How do people do that so long without taking a breath? I think my ears are still ringing." — Adrian Peterson, former Oklahoma Running Back Beaver Stadium was an impressive sight, especially for a white out” and the pageantry was top notch but my wife and I both thought Autzen (and Husky Stadium when they are playing Oregon) are louder. Of course, we were not on the field so it would be interesting to hear from those who were. Then there is this quote from someone who coached in both stadiums: “"That's the loudest stadium I've ever been in." — Lloyd Carr, former Michigan head football coach

I know that Ohio State fans travel well but the amount of red in Husky Stadium on Saturday was embarrassing. This is not the visitor section… https://www.dailyuw.com/article/in-an-afternoon-full-of-disappointments-the-husky-stadium-crowd-was-one-of-the-biggest-20250928

Urban Meyer recently called it the most difficult place to play in college football, at night, in the white out (over LSU). Oregon can win but they will have to execute and play very well on Saturday night.

Joel Klatt Picks Penn State 31-30 backed by their fans because “they have to win this game”

I prefer to park on/near campus and follow the crowd over the bridge and through the woods to Autzen stadium. It’s a bit of a walk, so it’s not for everyone.

A commitment means absolutely nothing in recruiting. Sure it might increase your odds but I don’t get excited about a recruit until Oregon receives their signed LOI, and even then we’ve seen kids back out or transfer to another school.

5-Star Oregon OT Commit, Immanuel Iheanacho, Plans to Visit Penn State for White Out Against Oregon https://nittanysportsnow.com/2025/08/5-star-oregon-commit-schedules-penn-state-visit/ “Georgetown Preparatory Academy (Baltimore, Maryland) offensive tackle Immanuel Iheanacho committed to Oregon last month and much like Spell, will be taking visits throughout the fall. Iheanacho plans to visit Happy Valley for the annual White Out against Oregon Sept. 27. Penn State is not the only school on the 6’7”, 380-pound tackle’s travel itinerary.”

I would recommend checking out the Moshofsky Center, aka the Mo Center, before the game. They have food, beer, games for kids, screens with other football games on and the band/cheerleaders. The Duck might make an appearance and I’ve seen him at tailgates well before the game. As others mentioned, the team will walk through a couple of hours before kickoff. There is some really good craft beer in Oregon. You might even see some fall foliage that time of year. Be sure to check out the Duck shop, which is attached to the Mo Center to get a souvenir/shirt for you son. Have a great time!

I am thinking the same thing. Let’s be honest - Hughes has not looked like anything special when he’s been on the field. There is a reason he didn’t get any carries until the 4th quarter in the Civil War Game with the 2s and 3s. He should probably redshirt this year (if he still has one available) and then transfer to a place he can star next season. Perhaps this is too big of a step up for him? I wish him the best whatever he decides.

Yikes. And what percentage of those completions and TDs were to TE Tyler Warren, who is now in the NFL? Penn State might beat Oregon on Saturday night but I would be shocked if it were due to Allar and the passing game…
