We need more downfield passes.

Coach Lanning wit some more questionable in-game coaching decisions in the 3rd quarter...

He may be getting a call from Gainesville, Florida soon. LOL.

I turned the game off in the first half but the final score indicates an impressive victory against a talented team. Georgia should be ranked #1 until someone knocks them off. Respect.

The Georgia-Clemson game is boring. Some will say that it’s elite defenses and that may be true. However, I prefer a mix of good offense and defense. The Oregon-Washington games last year were the perfect example (even if Oregon came out on the wrong side) - elite QB play w/ some key stops on D.

Road games in college football are tough especially later in the season. ”Fear no one, respect everyone.”

Wish Stanford and Cal were added to the B1G to form a West Coast Pod. Maybe they will be, if ND decides to join, and they are willing to depart with Cal…

It feels strange to be rooting for B1G schools in OOC games. [I still will not root for those mutts up north, no matter what…]

I feel bad for TT. He has a lot of talent and unfortunately it has not worked out for him. By all accounts, he was a good teammate and was loyal to Oregon. I was hoping that he could transfer down and get a shot to start. TT may need to look to transfer again, if he has eligibility remaining.

The talent gap on WSU and OSU roster, if there is one, will continue to shrink and after they run out of the money they stole from the departing PAC-12 schools those schools will not be able to afford top shelf coaching staffs. In a couple of years, WSU and OSU will fit right in the Mountain West. I would be shocked if the ACC or Big-12 decides to add these schools. They are reportedly trying to strong arm ESPN to get them in but I doubt that their potential lawsuit has any merit.

I don’t mind, especially the first game to get the kinks out. Most of the other top teams schedule these games. SEC schools schedule 2-3.

I would encourage those Duck fans to go watch some of the Oklahoma games last season, when Dillon Gabriel (DG) was healthy. DG was a Heisman contender until he got injured and beat Texas with a game winning TD drive, with less than 2 minutes remaining and no timeouts. • 14,865 career passing yards • 151 total career TDs (125 passing) • 26 total career interceptions (never more than 7 in a season) • 159.8 career QB rating (172 last year) That is what the national pundits are looking at…not a scrimmage a couple of weeks after DG got the playbook and landed in Eugene. DG is a phenomenal college QB and I’m sure our coaches were relieved to have someone of his caliber and experience leading our offense this season. I can’t wait to see DG in those B1G games this season. Dude is a balla and I’m glad that he is on our side.

Oregon should not see much of a drop off from the #1 offense in college football last season with Dillon Gabriel running the show. That's why you pay the big bucks for an experienced QB (vs. a high school 5 star). I re-watched the final drive of the Oklahoma vs. Texas game from last season. Dillon Gabriel has ice water running in his veins. He's a baller and could be the difference this year in those big games.

So, back to the thread earlier this week, “they just ran out of time”?

Well, seat 3C just got a lot more interesting….

"It's only business" No, businesses do not hold out the last year of their contract for more money!

I agree and hope that they do the weekly game recaps this year. As a fan, it's fun to get a peek behind the curtains and it can't help recruiting.

I wouldn't worry about flying as much in seat 4B (not because of Dabo)...

Dave Bartoo, at College Football Matrix, says that the strength of schedule is least important component that the college playoff committee considers and teams with 3 losses have a very slim chance of making the playoffs, so there is no incentive to play top teams preseason. https://www.audacy.com/podcast/primetime-with-isaac-and-suke-d0695/episodes/dave-bartoo-interview-6bd70

I actually think that Coach Lanning respects Coach Sanders, was a fan of his when he payed ball and they would have an interesting conversation. You would learn a lot about football/defense, if that is what they talked about. Seat 2B would be the most fun, if it came with a case of Coors; however, I hate middle seats... Who are some college football personalities that are missing or would be better than above? Some of mine are: * Paul Finebaum and Lincoln Riley * Jim Harbough and the head of the NCAA compliance department

And he didn’t want to play for a Mountain West team…
