I hear you, during the game against OBD they had an advantage over our DBs and was dumbfounded that they didn't throw the ball more. Sounds to me like a pistol formation up the middle problem, maybe they weren't physical enough. Day losing to UM at home is equivalent of OBD losing to Washington this year. Would the Ducks fans call for Lannings head for losing 4 in row to our biggest rival then standing there while Mullen's tries to break up a brawl on the field? I for one wouldn't be proud of that. What's Days excuse, it's not me I hired the wrong guy 4 years in a row. If you're a head coach you're very involved in the strategy and game plan if your offensive coordinator is going rouge then fire him. If Day isn't making adjustments to the game plan at halftime and then making sure the plays are called accordingly then that's on him. You have to be a leader and I'm not seeing that from him. This is football not war and if your shell shocked from losing maybe being the head coach of one of the top teams in the nation is not for you. Can you honestly tell me Lanning, Sabine, or Smart would have sat there. The whole rest of tOSU team was certainly not shell shocked and they defended their field from and unsportsmanlike opponent. It comes down to is this the guy that you want leading your team. Arguably tOSU has had one of if not the most talent team in the nation every year and has not won the big games. If I was a tOSU fan I would start to feel like I had a Mario problem.

I'm not saying Michigan was in the right I'm just saying that Days leadership is lacking and that he doesn't have that leader of men type quality that Sabine, Smart, Lanning or other elite coaches have. I don't think the above mentioned coaches have ever been so shell shocked from a loss as to not keep his guys from continuing a brawl rightfully or wrongfully. Sherrone Moore wasn't sitting on the sideline he was in there tell is players to back off. To me that's a leader of men I'd want as a coach. Two wrongs still don't make a right. Blame Kelly for losing to Michigan this time but he didn't lose the other 3 games against Michigan. Weaknesses is revealed early and he's just never seemed to have the it factor. Him blankly starting at a brawl is indicative of his coaching style.

This is exactly the problem with Day, does anyone here think Lanning would have been sitting on the sideline during that. If you're not going to lead these young impressionable adults, then who will.

I believe Oregon is doing a great job of finding potential and then developing then into premier running backs. If memory serves me right not everyone was very high on Bucky when he started with the Ducks he had a lot of drop balls but the potential was there. Stars don't mean much after you've made it to the team.

I think there going to have a hard time replacing him with someone better but at some point they have to show him the door.

Mario is keeping it interesting, will refs bail him out this time?

Penn St will be very interesting game but ultimately I think our D will be to much for them to keep up on the scoreboard.

Texas or A&M? With tOSU going down what is best for the Ducks? I like chaos so I love A&M to win but not sure what that would leave us with going into the playoffs.

I prefer PSU in the championship just so we've played every team on top and there's no excuses.

Michigan needs to key running the ball.

I keep thinking they need to throw the ball more but then Howard gives it away. Not sure what the answer is but I hope they don't figure it out.

Running your QB like a full back is not the best idea as Oregon well knows.

Vanderbilt takes the opening kickoff to the house. Loving the SEC drama this year.

There was also the last play in regulation for GT. They had the ball for a first down they then reviewed it and took it away for 4th in inches and never showed a single replay of the review. I can't even believe you wouldn't show review of the single most important play of the game to that point.

Rule change?

This is ridiculous!

3rd OT. Are you not entertained?

I'm not loving GT chances in overtime but I really hope they pull it off.

Got to love the TV coverage, critical 3rd down and no replay of the line of gain.

Would love to see a replay on that 1st down.

Classic mistake of speaking too soon.

I'm sure they'll try.

Hard to argue that the ACC is so tuff that this game would be a quality lose at home for the dogs.

That will work!

GT really needs to eat the clock and put some points on the board.
