My 3 Keys to Victory Against Michigan.
Michigan has a very tough defensive line. My primary concern is they'll constantly push the OL back into Raiola and put him under pressure all game long. Raiola under pressure = fumbles and INTs.

Time for "Facts & Fun" After the Wild Weekend....
In this one possible scenario, a Duck fan gets some weird final week rooting positions: • Iowa to beat Nebraska so they are in the tie-breaker, so Oregon can finish ahead of them in the tie-breaker (Iowa needs to win out) • USC to beat UCLA (never fun to have to pull for USC) • Wisconsin to win at Minnesota to make the tie-breaker, so Oregon can finish ahead of them in the tie-breaker (Wisc needs to win out) • Ohio State to beat Michigan (as long as they already have lost to either Northwestern or Nebraska)

How OBD Defended Jeremiah Smith
I don't think coach Hampton gets enough props for the D during the Big 10 portion of the schedule. After settling in after Boise St and the Cowboys, every game has been winnable from a defensive perspective.

How OBD Defended Jeremiah Smith
We arguably have the 3 best starting corners in the country right now. Next year there will be no argument. If Washington can displace Perich, we can have the best secondary in the country. Ducks' no fly zone.

My 3 Keys to Victory Against Michigan.
Nice list. I'm looking for a little more creativity on 1st down than going up the middle for no gain. It's amazing how the offense survived so many 2nd and longs against tOSU. I think the D should take care of itself. May even possibly score.

UDUB Stadium Name Change...
I certainly hope we never have to do that. I do think after Phil passed the stadium should be renamed to Knight Stadium.

Time for "Facts & Fun" After the Wild Weekend....
I'm most worried about Iowa, who can always beat anybody any given Saturday. If the gods smile down on them and they don't lose again we are definitely out.

My 3 Keys to Victory Against Michigan.
Don't throw the ball to Michigan DBs Don't throw the ball to Michigan LBs Don't throw the ball to Michigan DL I guess you could also include "don't fumble the ball" too, but everything else is secondary to giving the defense a pick 6, a field goal shot or at the very least a drive killer on the opponents side of the field when it's already going to be hard to move the ball.

Time for "Facts & Fun" After the Wild Weekend....
If the Ducks aren't going to make the B1G Championship, a 7 way tie for first at 7-2 would generate some interesting discussions. Picking the correct B1G Championship game everyone would agree upon would be nearly impossible. I could see at least four different matchups that make sense. The tie-breaker actually picking the one that has two teams Oregon beat on the road by double digits would be interesting to see the conference defend. Pulling for Illinois tonight. Oregon can still get in if USC doesn't beat Indiana. Illinois wins tonight and then USC beats UCLA in the rivalry game leaving UCLA at 7-2 and USC 6-3. An 8-1 Indiana plays Oregon if there ends up a 4 way 7-2 tie for second between Oregon, UCLA, Iowa, and Wisconsin (however if it is just Oregon, UCLA, and Iowa, Iowa goes).

Should Dan Lanning Be Held Accountable?
I commend the posters here for their good sense. George Wrighster pointed out on his Youtube channel that even the best coaches occasionally make bad player evaluations. It is to DL's credit that he has made an effective course correction that offers OBD at least some chance of a successful season. I find the phrase "hold accountable" inappropriate in this circumstance. DL did not embezzle money from the Athletic Department.

Should Dan Lanning Be Held Accountable?
DC Jim Knowles did an excellent job at Ohio State, and this season he has the Tennessee defense playing great football. Under Franklin, Knowles flunked. The Penn State team that underachieved in Franklin's final half-season had a lot of experienced talent that did not perform as expected. A few weeks back, Kirby Smart noted that today's players are not as hungry or as motivated compared to players even a few years ago. Why should they be as motivated? They're being paid before going to the NFL. In the Big Ten this season, Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, Penn State, and UW have not played up to expectations. USC has a game in Bloomington on Saturday and finishes against UCLA in the Rose Bowl; 8-4 is in view. UCLA has a motivated coach who came up from the G6 and a core of players who were playing at JMU last season. The coach and the players are hungry. In the SEC, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Florida, despite being ranked this season, have underperformed. Auburn will not cover the preseason win total. South Carolina, Ole Miss, LSU, and Missouri could all finish with four or more losses. Saturday, Texas is +4 at LSU and Tennessee is down to -1.5 at Oklahoma. No. 6 Texas and No. 8 Tennessee could suffer a third loss. A 24-team PO is coming along at the right time. The word of the day in CFB, like the NFL, is 'Parity.' Motivating players is harder than it was even half a decade ago. How many experienced coaches will adapt to this world of college football? How many coaches can handle today's roster turnover? Even 'recession-proof' Ohio State is feeling the pain. I watch games coast to coast, and see that Lopa, Grey, Green, Kasper, and even Makhi Hughes are balling out. Talent that not so long ago would have bolstered Oregon's roster, pushed starters for playing time, and would have been available to back up injured players. CFB fans are watching a new paradigm and expecting the same results. No team, especially a team in the Big Ten and the SEC, is talented enough and, sadly, motivated enough to simply show up and go 10-2. Unlike Notre Dame, Oregon cannot schedule for success. Firing a coach who goes 9-3 in a given season, especially in a season with injury to key starters, is not realistic in today's college football. Fire Ryan Day, Dan Lanning, Matt Campbell, Jedd Fisch, Mike Elko, and/or Brent Venables, and none of these coaches will be out of a job for an extended period of time. I haven't seen one of the CFB geniuses who want Dan Lanning gone suggest a viable replacement, a replacement who will go 54-11 (.831) in his first four and three-quarters seasons.

I think it was Columbia Bank. They removed the Husky Stadium name, because the Husky's don't win there very often.

UW to change name of stadium for a $70,000,000 cash infusion from a bank. I’m on my phone and I forget what the name of the bank was but I thought they were rich and they didn’t need the money?
