I'm guessing that this subject has been discussed at length, but does anyone know who the braintrust is who schedules these start times... and why a consistently Top-10 team tolerates it?

That is one of the more spectacular screw jobs I have seen in quite some time.

This guy is one dumb son of biscuit. "The same Boise State that two years ago arrived in Eugene for the season opener..." For some reason, this schmuck forgot to mention that BSU ended the 2024 season ranked #8 in the nation.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

Corngratulations!

Probably sorted out against BSU on the field in reality. But the other side of things too comes down to how else Michigan performs. If Michigan is good, they'll look at that loss and ignore it due to the ref interference. If Michigan is awful then they still ignore the loss but it was a close game against a bad P2 team. Either way I think everyone of substance ignores that loss and counts it as a win for them but the context of what Michigan is will depend if that helps or hurts them.

Both have been coordinators before coming to Oregon and both we Co-coordinators previous years. Play calling needed fine tuning and it got better over the game. Offense needs to just line up and punch a lesser roster in the mouth, the offense was vanilla outside of the questionable 4th down calls and the double pass that almost worked. I think a portion of the offensive frustration were the underneath passes but frankly BSU liked to pressure at the LoS... The vertical game they didn't have much of an answer for besides PI and hoping for a misthrown ball. Defense felt less like a play calling issue and more of playing undisciplined. Coaches will be hammering this into the heads of these players for the rest of the season. Two touchdown were the result of Oregon penalties that kept the BSU offense on the field. That's still coaching but not play calling. I hope we'll see a cleaner game out of the Ducks and better play calling in the next two games.

"....Memphis at Boise State could decide the G6 representative..." Here's something to contemplate: We all know W. Michigan lost at Michigan yesterday (or, perhaps they didn't) but assume they go undefeated the rest of the season. They are the defending champions in the MAC from 2025. If the Playoff Committee looked at that potential single "loss" how would they rank them as G6 rep in comparison to others? Well, it turns out the Committee may be saved by the scheduling Gods. Because W. Michigan hosts Boise State in a non-conference game the last Saturday of September. It will be Broncos vs Broncos on Sep. 26.

That kick was unreal.

Wait what??? I finally won? YES!!! I didn't think to check until just now, but glad I did. Haha.

The Wisconsin Badger Punter punted the ball 69 yards, it went over the head of the punt returner, bounced inside the 5 yard line near the center of the field turned 90 degrees then rolled all the way to the sideline out of bounds almost clipping the pylon. They panned back to the punter that for a celebration made a very serious looking golf swing. Perfection. I expect video clips to emerge shortly. If you find one please post it here for folks to see, it's a must watch video.

Solar! We did not even need tiebreakers, as his 34-24 prediction was only three points off of the final 34-27 score. Whew! Congrats to Solar, and thanks to all for playing!

ND, in many respects, I liked it better when you knew that refs would err and there was no replay. But, according to the rules and the look the replay officials had, there was .01 seconds left when a W. MI. player who was out of bounds touched the football. Any game time remaining under a second requires the clock to be set at one second. It's OK; I think Michigan will lose Sooner than later. 😁

Interesting Week 2 game coming up when Memphis, with a road win over UNLV, plays Boise on the Blue Turf. This early game could decide the G6 PO representative. Before Minnesota visits Seattle in Week 4, UW should roll over Utah State and E. Washington. State 8 member Utah State lost its opening game to FCS Idaho State, 29-17. But the State 8 only took the very best from the Mountain West, right? 🤪

Wasnt defending Mixon, just pointing out he played a little over half the possible snaps on defense.

Sluggish start for UW, good 2nd half. 24-10 UW win.

Great topic Solar!!! I have some thoughts I'll share soon. Still going over the tape. I see improvement, and I see similarities two years past. This is going to be an interesting season.

Mixon is #6 in this video. He was pretty underwhelming.

Both teams have missed on some good opportunities. Thaw fuskies are kind of in the same boat as Oregon was yesterday. They’re playing a team who is highly motivated to upset them. Frankly, I would rather the fuskies win so that the strength of schedule isn’t weakened.

Correct me if I am wrong, but both Boise State backs averaged less than 4 yards per carry, and Jerry Mixon actually split playing time with Dylan Williams. Mixon played 38 snaps.

If the civil war was yesterday we would have flattened them. Instead we played the Scrap-12 champs. Good to know WSU and OSU built a conference that they aren't competing for the top spot.

The fuskies are dominating the game but can’t finish drives. They seem to be a one-man show with Demond Williams accounting for most of the offense. The goal line stand right before the end of the half was pretty entertaining. I liked the fact that there was some ex-Duck on ex-Duck violence on 4th down with Keith Brown, stuffing Jaden Limar at the goal line.

My projection for the season? We are 1-0. Past that, I can't say anything because of the craziness of college football. Boise State has our number and plays us tough every time....and sometimes they get the better of us (2009 still lives in my brain). Boise State is a good team. They will probably be looking to be in a playoff spot. We always are gonna look good against a Nichols State or Arkansas State, or even Portland State. We played a potential playoff team. We are 1-0 and have a LOT of improvement to make. Saddle up for the ride folks, it's gonna be a good one!!

Probably the worst optic for me on this game was watching Bryce Underwood strut around after the game like he had just won a conference title or playoff game. The guy played awful all game and got a second chance at a Hail Mary AFTER throwing his first attempt out of the endzone. Michigan fans storming the field after that win also?? Com'n!!!!

Evan Williams looked almost timid on return duty...
