Does CBS "journalist" Back-Assward Will Backus get that CBS is no longer the SEC's butt boy?

He's a Tennessee grad? I'm shocked!

Why this jihad against OBD?

Iowa under Ferentz was 5-1 in November vs. top 10-ranked opponents. The game was played in a monsoon. Oregon's win means it isn't on the same level as a 3-loss Tennessee team or an Ole Miss team that defeated The Citadel on Saturday?

Someone out there with (un)Social Media skills I don't have, please send this guy a B1G love letter. Do what you can to make certain this is posted on the OBD bulletin board if you can, and please prepare a nice B1G welcome for Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson next time they're in town.

And pump the brakes on Fernando Mendoza?

I expect this spit from Saturday Down South, but CBS?

Well, we just blew up the "Oregon isn't physical enough for the Big-10" nonsense, so they have to move to a new denigrating narrative.

OK, I had a cocktail (or two?). So, lighten up, JJ!

It's only a movie. 😁And we have yet to cut to the chase.

Oregon Ducks On SI

Kirk Herbstreit Jokes About Retirement After Oregon vs. I...

Before the No. 9 Oregon Ducks defeated the No. 20 Iowa Hawkeyes, ESPN's College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit predicted Iowa to pull off the upset over Oregon

Dan Lanning -

"Men, we're Licensed to kill Gophers by the government of the United Nations. Men, we're free to kill gophers at (the direction of) Will.

To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case, the enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit (except perhaps, against a Hawkeye.😁)

They're like the Viet Hoosiers, Varmint-Cigs. So, to knock the Fleck out of them, you have to fall back on superior intelligence and firepower.

And that's all she wrote."

I could be confusing Carl Spackler with Danno? 🤪

Aside from tOSU, OBD's can beat anyone. Anyone!

This teams has grit, a power running game, top five oline and a rock solid defense. And quality depth!

I put the Buckeyes in a different level. Texas was a train wreck when they played the Buckeyes. Other than that tOSU has dominated

In the CFP either bracket wont matter because we will need to play IU or tOSU along the way. A great chance to avenge our only 2 losses in 23 games.

Best of all our coaches are coaching better. Some may not notice but DL and his staff out coached Whisky and the Hawkeyes.

If you rewatch the games you can see the offense running basic plays to see how the opponents D reacts. Then later on out of the same formation the O ran counters or mis-direction plays for chunk plays.

Some may not understand that those early plays that only got a yard or 2, set up other successful plays later. Nothing is done by chance, it's done by design as part of a chess match.

It is no coincedence that when Iowa subbed their starting edge plays with 2 freshman that WS attacked the edges. This happened in the last 2 minutes of the first half. Those 3 points were critical. Those same 2 freshman played 5 plays in the 3rd quarter and the Duck O moved down the field. After those 5 plays those 2 did not play again.

When DM ran for 46 yards, It was one of those basic play formations. Knowing how Iowa would react allowed the TE Johnson to seal the DE. The safety and linebackers quessed wrong. And DM ran untouched.

OBDF members, to this old Duck thats coaching.

On the D side of the ball the Duck D keeps getting better. Holding Iowa to 2.7 yards per rush. Well below their average.

Look at how many times the Duck D has given the Duck O the ball at mid-field or better. Sadly the O got nothing from that. If that result changes then the Ducks will pile on the points in the final 3 games.

FYI: In the last 3 quarters the Hawkeyes had 5 offensive possessions. Let that sink in.

If the Ducks play clean and the refs are neutral then this team can accomplish great things.

Go Ducks

The only reason Iowa was even close in this game is because of three self inflicted disasters in or near the red zone after three unstoppable drives.

One was an end zone interception, another was a third down trip over feet and another was a third down holding call.

If OBD doesn’t self sabotage themselves and collect a mere three points from those three drives, the score would have looked as dominant as the performance.

I would rather the Ducks be an actually dangerous team lurking under the radar than being fed rat poison at number one like last year.
