This Ducks vs. Huskies game is a helluva game.

Gr8 game but Oregons coach cost theDucks the game

BMWILUVU · 10-16-2023, 09:30 AM

Pretty subdued matchup weekend except for Oregon-Washington my oh my what a game. I know alot of people are on the Ore coach but seriously I don't think a few extra yards from a punt would have made a difference for Penix and his nfl-draft receiver corp. It was a scoring race and Ore barely missed a field goal to keep the race going.

Colorado should have been an easy win but oh epic meltdown. The CU hype is dwindling fast and a loss to Stanford puts some doubt in even being bowl eligible. Can they actually win 2 more games the rest of the season? PAC-12 is up this year and even Arizona is no pushover.

Next weekend some doozies:
OSU-PSU
Bama-Tennessee
FSU-Duke
Miami-Clemson seems interesting
Pair of PAC-12 matchups Ducks vs Cougars , Utes vs Trojans
I have not watched so many PAC-12 games as this year for as long as I can remember!

Lanning went for it and didn't make it on fourth down three times. Two could have been easy FG's earlier in the game and the third could have pinned Washington back instead of giving them the ball at midfield. I think it's the combination of all three that have people on him. I also heard he didn't want to shake hands after the game, but didn't see it myself.

I'll be at Miami-Clemson and hope this week is better than the last 2.

I would of punted but the way Penix and his air corp can cover yards I don't blame him for being aggressive trying to get the upperhand and the win. Maybe too aggressive arguably but these two were back and forth he just wanted to put it away and took some risks. I think these two teams have a good chance to meet again.

Big win for the Canes (with a true freshman QB filling in) over Clemson in 2OT last night. Beautiful night and made some great tailgate pizza. 100% worth the late night after the hour+ ride home.

Nice win!

Btw idk how that wasn’t a safety - Klubnick was 2 yards in the end zone.

100% safety. Ball was in the end zone and both knees landed there. A few other no calls that were head scratchers as well. ACC refs this year have been worse than usual it seems and then the replay official let things stand.

At least that call didn’t cost us the game this time.

Will you be at the FSU/Miami game next month?

Yes, I plan to be up there! I’m excited for it.

How about you?

No plans right now and will be difficult time-wise to make the trip, but never know. Could be a late decision to pay up and go.

BMWILUVU · 10-23-2023, 01:21 PM

Will Penn State ever beat OSU? I don't think they can beat Michigan. Another 2 loss season looking from the outside in for James Franklin.
Tennessee shutout after Bama's halftime adjustments after leading 20-7.
Congrats to the Canes for a thriller as Clemson continues its spiral.

That dumb loss to Ga Tech really hurt us.

Don't forget GT is improved this year but agreed it was an opportunity lost.

UncleWede · 10-30-2023, 02:49 PM

First to 50 wins!!!

BMWILUVU · 10-30-2023, 05:09 PM

Penn State and Franklin is always good for a 10-2 season.
Hoping Miami can humble FSU in a few weeks.

Some focus on defense is in order. Cal scores 49? Only Stanford's D is maybe worse.

You have heard for the Curse of the Bambino? Happy Valley has the Curse of the JoePA. PSU will not beat Ohio or Michigan until the Statue of Joe Paterno is returned to it's rightful place out side the stadium.
In other words PSU will be 10 and 2 or worse for the foreseeable future.

You and me both! QB is playing injured and not making the right throws so that needs to be resolved to have a chance though.

Predictions for the college playoff rankings later today?

I will say what I think it may end up at the end of it all though there are a lot of meaningful games left(in my power-ranking order):
Michigan, Georgia, Washington, Florida State

BMWILUVU · 11-03-2023, 09:54 AM

UWash vs USC should be a shootout.
LSU needs to make this game a scoring race against a tough Bama D.
Georgia will see if Missouri is the real deal.
Lets see if KSU can takeout Texas.
Okie vs State is a watcher.
Is Colorado slipping below 500 against Ore State. Most likely.
