I expected Oklahoma State to show up today. They’re usually pretty good about punching above their weight, but they looked like they were resigned to their fate. Might this be the final nail in Mike Gundy’s coffin?

Not much in the way of competition. I think Montana State would have beat Oklahoma State.

Gundy didn’t help his players any.

Holy Smokes Batman!!! Gundy hasn't looked that bad since he decided to sport a mullet in the 2010's. That's a P4 program and you made them look like they were on restriction. I know LSU has a better win right now with a road win over Clemson, but I'd seriously consider moving Oregon ahead of them. At the very least I'd move them ahead of Penn State.

Congrats on the win. Unfortunately not every ranked team could take care of business this week. Oregon is crushing a P4 team while Florida can't even beat a G5 school.

3 Keys to the Victory:

Ducks Showed Up 😍

I had serious doubts their offense would perform given that they lost their starting QB and the backup just basically got thrown in the deep end this week against a top 10 team. Conjures up old memories of poor Braxton Burmeister.

Ducks looked sharp executing today, BUT...they were playing one of the very worst teams among the P4 conferences, one that did not execute and looked, quite frankly, pitiful. Gundy is gone I fear, possibly before the end of the season. It is time.

Meanwhile, the competition ramps up soon with PSU looming. Go Ducks!

Their Clemson win is looking less good as Clemson barely edged pass Troy.

I have a feeling that BOTH teams were overrated in that game. We'll have to wait and find out.

Was Skattebo for Dillingham as Penix was for DeBoer?

I meant what I said, Montana State is probably a better team than the next 3 teams on our schedule. Maybe not in talent, but on the whole, a better team.

Maybe Cooper Perry deserves his own thread this week. Some of the statements made by Dan Lanning to date about him were so strong, they were difficult to take seriously, but Perry may be that good. One of those slot receivers that can get open at will, and never drops the ball, and has some wiggle after the catch. If you absolutely have to have 3-7 yards in 1 down, he's the guy to do it.

The route tree has improved. It's doing a better job at intentionally winning the numbers game to get specific receivers open in specific areas of the field. I think Douglas has contributed to that.

How about the double reverse flea flicker field side screen pass play? I've never seen that before, but it's brilliant. I wish we'd saved it for Penn State.

The one thing we are missing on the DL line is a Jamari Cardwell type NT that can't be moved off the ball. I'm not sure our run defense is better this year. There times when the OSU OL were road grading us. I'm sure there were some schematic reasons for those plays, but I'm nervous about the Penn State and Miami's of the world. At least our DL sees something similar in practice every day.
