USC Today calls SC a fraud - 😁 https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2026/09/29/college-football-fraud-alert-usc-ole-miss-penn-state-missouri-louisville-tennessee/91994524007/

And the House may add or subtract from the bill and basically present their own. So, I'll await and see what a final bill, if any, gets signed.

Dan Lanning ONE-ON-ONE with David Pollack | Oregon Football Rallying After Dante Moore InjuryDan Lanning and David Pollack Break Down Oregon-USC, and Ducks Rallying Around Dante Moore

David, your observations are spot on. I didn't really want to get into this discussion this early out of respect for Dante and the team, but inevitably, the topic was going to be brought up. I have my thoughts on how this plays out, but will refrain and wait for a larger sample size. I think it's prudent that Dylan starts against UCLA for Dante's continued healing. I'm sure Dante was really looking forward to playing his former team, but his former team has had a complete makeover.

The Senate Passes The Protect College Sports Act, 77-22. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/protect-college-sports-act-passes-senate/ The Bill now moves to the House, where it faces an uncertain future, with the Black Caucus members, among others, against passage. It has been reported, but not confirmed by the Power 4, that representatives of the four conferences have met and are in agreement on a revenue-sharing cap of $44 million per annum and a separate player retention cap. $5 million would be available for non-revenue sports. NIL deals would be scrutinized to ensure they are not being used to exceed the cap. However, without antitrust protection from Congress and without a bargained-for agreement with the athletes, the caps will not pass legal review.

You can read the whole article if you sign up and claim the free post. But posted what I could. The Oregon Audit: USCOregon did not dominate USC snap to snap. The Ducks won because their best plays carried more value, their situational football was better, and they beat their efficiency baseline in Los Angeles.There is a temptation to look at Oregon’s 41-27 win over USC and see a fairly conventional explanation. The Ducks gained 504 yards, averaged 7.4 yards per play, did not turn the ball over and scored every time they reached the red zone. USC finished with 446 yards and 5.9 yards per snap, and what had been a tie game early in the fourth quarter eventually became a two-touchdown margin. The box score says Oregon made more plays and eventually pulled away. The advanced profile says something more useful. Oregon and USC finished with identical 35% offensive success rates and identical 42% rushing success rates, while their leverage rates and percentage of passing downs were almost the same. USC actually produced more explosive plays. The difference was not how often the teams generated successful snaps. The difference was how much value Oregon extracted from them, especially through the passing game and in the highest-leverage situations. That distinction becomes even more important when the opponent adjustment is considered. USC entered the game fifth nationally in adjusted offensive EPA per play at +0.43, 10th in raw offensive EPA per play at +0.32 and seventh nationally in EPA per dropback at +0.53. Jayden Maiava entered as the national leader in total passing EPA among qualified quarterbacks, with 69.21 EPA through four games and 0.59 EPA per dropback. Oregon, meanwhile, entered with an adjusted offensive EPA per play of -0.23, ranking 108th nationally. That is why this Audit matters more than the raw 41 points. Oregon did not simply beat USC. The Ducks performed far above their own established offensive efficiency baseline while forcing one of the nation’s best offenses into a much less efficient game than it had been producing. The Oregon Audit: USCOregon did not dominate USC snap to snap. The Ducks won because their best plays carried more value, their situational football was better, and they beat their efficiency baseline in Los Angeles.

With Bob Chesney's 2026 UCLA, I prefer the Origin of Thump! These Bruins will smash-mouth you for 60 minutes. Trench play and tackling will decide this game. It's not the greatest team with the greatest offense, but going on the road and holding better-than-average QB Washington and Maryland to 3 points was impressive. To date, this is the second screening of Cig from JMU to Indiana.

And I will add that, unfortunately 😉, I do know several USC fans, and they are excellent fans and good people. I've spoken or texted with three of them since Saturday and they are sickened and absolutely disgusted by the behavior of their program. While they were already unimpressed Riley before Saturday, and were pretty much already wanting him fired, after what happened Saturday night, they were livid and embarrassed. While these guys don't have uber-wealthy kind of money, they all do quite well and they all would make a special donation toward Riley's $70 million dollar buyout. Although USC, obviously, completely sucks, I would bet that after Saturday, a significant percentage of their fans feel the same way. Riley might be wise to avoid airport tarmacs, as he may soon find himself getting the "Kiffin Maneuver."

Not this season's SAG. He looked lost against Clemson and is in a sophomore slump under new OC Jordan Summerville, a former grad assistant at Oregon. The 30-year-old Summerville was the Tampa Bay QB coach and a strange hire by Tosh. He was brought in to teach SAG NFL quarterbacking. WHY?

The Oregon Ducks are breaking out something special for this massive game against the UCLA Bruins in Week 6.

5 years to play 5. Under the five year eligibility rule, there are no more redshirt seasons. Post-2026, Dante has another season of eligibility remaining, and Raiola is eligible in 2027 and 2028. With revenue-sharing and NIL, I expect many players will play college 'semipro' sports and delay going pro.

It takes no effort for someone or anyone to reach out and show compassion and understanding. Good on him. Charles, this is truly a one of a kind forum and thank you for all your efforts. I understand why you don't want to add any extra monitoring to your schedule. Who needs that? This Duck gray beard supports you 110% just as Riley is oblivious and supports bad behaviour. I have friends and business associates in Texas, New York, Indiana Utah and Idaho that expressed their disgust at the bad sideline antics. Even my moronic, lifetime friends who are die hard huskies did not condone those actions. Go Ducks......

Most emotionally charged DvT yet. As always, very well produced and edited, even if it tugs at the homer heartstrings a bit. One damning aspect is the obfuscation on the part of the U$C announcers as they victim blame Dante for not really sliding feet first then absolve the defender of targeting. This is followed by a, shall we say, less than flattering image of an older Trojan fan repeatedly shouting "f/u" at the refs and Oregon bench once the targeting call was confirmed. All fan bases have their toxic components and Oregon is no exception. But, wow, this is Roman gladiator crowd stuff. How apt that the venue was the Coliseum. It sheds a bad light on Riley, the SC leadership and their fans. All the more reason to appreciate the team that OBD is and the coach that we have. Full recovery for Dante Moore!

USC radio broadcast ripped for 'embarrassing' call of Desmond Stephens II hit on Dante MooreWith Moore now in concussion protocol from a scary hit he took on a targeting call, and linebacker Desman Stephens II being suspended by USC for the hit and his reaction afterward, there has been plenty of controversy surrounding the situation. In yet another aspect of the Stephens-Moore hit, college football fans have been critical of USC's radio broadcast team for how they framed the targeting call in real time when it happened. Here's a look at the viral clip from USC's radio broadcast and how fans have reacted. USC radio broadcast ripped for call of hit on Dante MooreAfter its games, Oregon posts a weekly YouTube montage showing moments from around the stadium. And after the Ducks' win over USC, an episode titled "For Your Brother" was released, which includes the moments after Moore was hit by Stephens and carted off the field. One of the clips included was from USC's radio broadcast. Yeah sure 🙄 After watching the replay, Arbogast — who has called Trojans games for nearly four decades — stuck by his words, saying he didn't think it looked like targeting. Analyst Shaun Cody, meanwhile, gave a look to the camera in the booth that indicated he did think it was targeting. When the clip of the radio call made its way to social media on Monday night and Tuesday morning, fans were critical of Arbogast for appealing too much to the Trojans crowd, misrepresenting the hit.

Joey Harrington, on Talkin' Ducks, said that that incompletion was on the young receiver, Hampton. Riola correctly recognized zone coverage and the wide receiver should have sat, instead of continuing the route. The result was a pass behind him but it was the right read and execution by Riola. Someone also mentioned that the long TD was a result of Riola’s audible at the line of scrimmage. He recognized that a freshman USC corner was guarding an experienced, stud WR (Dakorien Moore?) and called for the double move.

A USC fan registered to join this forum, but not for the usual reasons I see from opposing fans. He wanted to apologize for what happened to Dante Moore, and wished for a full and speedy recovery for him. I wanted to give him credit, (Andrew Reed) and convey his great sportsmanship, but I am not opening the door for what could end up being a ton more moderating work. My thanks to him for his well-wishes, and it reminds us that not all fans are the same. At all schools you have terrible fans, and great ones. I thank him for his intent, and hopefully this can inspire more goodwill on both sides.

I didn't initially see that while watching the game. Talk about the poorest sportsmanship that we've ever seen... If Riley had any leadership qualities, he would've kicked him off the team as an example for everyone else.
