They've picked it up a little, but Alabama's new Beavis coach JaMarcus Shephard's receivers had 93 yds after 3 quarters. Georgia now leads 28-7 with 6:51 left.

'bama's D-coordinator Kane Wommack is getting his pants taken down on national TV. There are more than one receiver open on almost every play.

Interesting story here about Tulane's QB. And, by the way, former Duck Ty Thompson is still on the Tulane roster, but as a TE, no longer a QB. He has played sparingly this season. Thompson was regarded as a 5-star QB recruit in 2021. An interesting case study on player development, or lack thereof. Anyway, here is the link for Tulane's current QB who transferred from BYU: Jake Retzlaff, eyeing college football history, isn’t the...Across the country is Zevi Eckhaus, a Washington State quarterback who dons tefillin every morning, prays at the 18-yard line and hopes to set an example for Jewish fans

I get the impression Kraft would ask his President to never consider ending Oregon's partial media share early despite Oregon making a contribution to TV viewer interest and CFP revenue share.... laugh.

Perhaps add a little spicy sauce to OSU vs WSU? Jonathan Smith is available.

Penn State finally hires a head coach after about 50 days. Got him from Iowa State. Iowa State took about 50 minutes to hire a replacement. First year Washington State coach leaves the Cougs.

No coach, including Ryan Day and Dan Lanning, should assume more than a one-season commitment these days.

North Texas at Tulane for the AAC championship, 5:00 pm PT, ABC. The winner will likely be in the No. 12 CFP slot to face a team in the No. 5 slot. N. Texas is one of just 7 teams this season which did not lose on an opponent's home field. (Oregon was one of the 7 as well) N. Texas has been an offense powerhouse including thumping WSU 59-10. North Texas leads the NCAA with 46.8 points per game. They lead in total offense with 511.8 yds per game. They lead the nation in number of plays 10 yds and longer. N. Texas leads in total red zone conversions and is fourth in percentage success (66 of 70) QB Drew Mestemaker leads the nation with 319.6 yds passing per game. The North Texas and Tulane head coaches have accepted new jobs (OK State, Florida), but both will coach on Friday night, and both say they have been told they can continue with their teams if chosen for the CFP. NTSU head coach Eric Morris will be on the Oklahoma State sideline next season when the Ducks visit. He is a Mike Leach protege. He coached Cam Ward and John Mateer.

Maybe he should talk to Mark Few about out-of-conference scheduling philosophy?

Henry Jr? Obviously you guys are out of the loop... :)

"Bair will be joining the Ducks in the Fall..." I read a few weeks ago that his 2-year mission in Texas started mid-February 2024. Seems that would make him available for Spring camp? Church NewsWhy Gatlin Bair, the biggest football recruit in Idaho hi...Burley’s Gatlin Bair is the biggest recruit in Idaho history, and will soon decide where he will play. Then he plans to spend his next two years as a Latter-day Saint missionary in Texas. Here’s why h

Lanning was hired by Oregon on December 11. He coached in Georgia's last game on January 11. He probably has as good a feel for what to expect from Stein as anyone could have.

How about the team that lost its head coach, and apparently also its O-coordinator today? Ole Miss. A&M lost to Texas, which was the only team A&M faced in the upper tier of the final SEC standings. Didn't get much publicity, but A&M's conference schedule was comparable to the ease of Indiana's last season.

Iapani Lalolu, Sione Laulea and Jayden Limar are questionable. Isaiah World and Alex Harkey are available. Gary Bryant Jr. and Dakorien Moore remain out.

Mt. West SDSU, 6-2, 9-3 – lost to Hawaii and New Mexico New Mexico, 6-2, 9-3 – lost to BSU and San Jose St BSU, 6-2, 8-4 – lost to Fresno St and SDSU UNLV, 5-2, 9-2 – lost to New Mexico and BSU (final game will be vs Nevada) Boise State, New Mexico and San Diego State all finished MW play with 6-2 records. UNLV would join the group at 6-2 with a win over Nevada on Saturday. The participants for the 2025 Mountain West Football Championship will be determined by a composite average of computer metrics and announced the morning of Sunday, Nov. 30. UNLV and New Mexico were not invited to the New Pac. If they were talking about being Power 5, maybe they meant the Mt. West's power four plus one? Boise won by 1 point today. A loss would have meant 7-5. 7-5 would have matched 2021 for their worst W-L since 1998. North Texas is 11-1. James Madison is 10-1 headed to Saturday's final.

"TAM loses. What will this do to our seeding??" Assuming the Ducks win, then not much. Ole Miss will be jumped by the Committee over Oregon. Thus, 3) Georgia, 4) Ole Miss, 5) Tex Tech. Perhaps the question will be whether A&M can take the 6-spot from Oregon.....SEC, SEC, SEC strength of schedule....but look at my earlier note above about A&M schedule which the Committee will ignore. There's still Saturday's games to be played, plus conference championship games in SEC and Big12 which could mess with the highest seeded. As Al Davis said, "just win baby!"

Teams at the top of the SEC standings with A&M Georgia Ole Miss Alabama Texas Oklahoma Vanderbilt Tennessee Which of these teams has A&M played this season? Answer: Texas. That's it: Texas. They did win 41-40 at Notre Dame.

Florida is now apparently targeting Jon Sumrall, Tulane, not Fisch.

Chris Vannini Sources: Stanford is hiring Tavita Pritchard as the school’s next head coach. He’s a former quarterback, assistant coach and coordinator at the school, including a run on staff from 2010 to 2022. Pritchard is the Commanders QB coach, where he coached Jayden Daniels in his ROY season in 2024, and he’s set to leave the team’s staff after Washington plays Denver on Sunday night. Mariota is expected to start for the Commanders/Pritchard. Pritchards time on Stanford staff included five seasons as coordinator and nine seasons coaching QBs.

In the final regular-season game of his college career, Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski made history. The Hawkeyes' signal-caller rushed for 64 yards in his team's 40-16 win at Nebraska on Nov. 28, increasing his season rushing total to 491 yards, breaking the program's single-reason record by a QB. The previous record was held by Kenny Ploen, who set the previous high mark at 487 yards in 1956. Ploen was the MVP in the 1957 Rose Bowl win over Oregon State. Gronowski had a net 25 vs Oregon, in a bad weather game where 42% of the Hawkeyes total yards came from rushing.

That win in Iowa City should be given more credit than it is getting. Iowa is demolishing Nebraska in Lincoln today. Iowa will be 8-4 with the four losses: 13-16 at Iowa State, on a late field goal 14-20 vs Indiana, with a Hoosiers late TD pass 16-18 vs Oregon, on a late field goal 21-26 at USC, after leading at half-time

For Canzano, the emphasis is "look who I got for my show" as opposed to content - sometimes which can be silly. Not sure why Lanning decided to make time - and it's not just the 20 minute interview, more time is required - during game week preparation. A couple times he even looked like silly questions were an irritant. It's not the first time he's been down that road with Oprah Canzano.

Play Creighton in the "0-2 championship" and it sounds like Creighton (at the link) has similar problems. https://archive.ph/AEGWm Creighton lost twice in Vegas by similar margins of Oregon's losses. The Ducks face Creighton at 11:00 am, Thanksgiving Day, on TruTV. Creighton's already played Gonzaga and lost 63-90. The way Oregon played tonight, I might be happy with a 27-pt loss. We'll have to see how badly Bittle's ankle injury may be. The Aztecs made 39 of 58 (67%) from the field, 11 of 23 (48%) from 3-point range, against the Ducks. Michigan beat SDSU by 40. Those could be some long plane rides home from the Midwest for the Ducks if score comparisons predict the future. That 67% was the highest ever allowed by a Dana Altman Ducks team. 8 different Aztecs were over 50%. The Ducks were 28% from 2-pt range in the second half.
