Raiola, after pinpointing passes again USC, could not hit the broad side of a barn yesterday. How a guy with his talent played that way is unexplainable. Dante, even healthy, has problems when pressured and lacks some aggressiveness. Both QB's are talented. The bottom line to me, I suspect this team is loaded with talent but has some really lousy coaching. For a program that is looking for a NC to obtain blue blood elite status....it is a shame because these type teams don't come every year. 7 turnovers.....seriously!

Ducks 49 UCLA 10 5 sacks 2 TO 410 yards passing

Changing the coordinators may have really upset the team in so many ways. Whether it improves or goes the other way is the big question. Given Lanning's talent with defenses you would think it should improve as the year progresses.

As someone who has watched every minute of his coaching time at USC........No.

After watching a replay of Purdue vs UCLA it sure looks like the UCLA defensive DB's are sub par. DR ought to dice them up nicely.

Good one!

Riley is a narcissist. There is no doubt. I am not a doctor however due to issues with an individual during my career I learned a ton from professionals about this disorder. A narcissist does not have empathy. Very little.....they have limited feelings about most anybody. If they apologize it is not sincere. Any problem with performance.....they deflect blame. It's always somebody else. Good performance.....they brag. So not morally lacking...... they just don't care.

As I've stated many times on USC boards over the past 3 years.....Riley is the definition of pure incompetence. Many agree with me......now. National media that defend him have no idea what they are talking about.

USC vs Oregon.....reminds me of going to the Zoo vs the Opera.

A national championship may be at stake. I think the world of Dante Moore....he is a real gentleman......but.....as a QB.....Dylan is the better choice for the Ducks. IMHO How this plays out may determine Oregon's future this year. I'am glad I'am not making the decision....it's a tough call from a human point of view. It could be heart breaking either way.

Of all the teams in college football......only Oregon probably had a former 5 star QB who was very experienced playing in the BIG, highly coveted, mobile and ready to play sitting on the bench. Sincerely hope Dante gets well but IMHO if Lanning wants to actually win it all this year his greatest chance is with Dylan. If he puts Dante back in after protocol.....I'd be disappointed.

Pretty much. Riley also issued a statement of apology.....I bet the AD wrote it.

A public apology has been issued by Stephens ......it was a disgusting display of the worst in people.

Not knowing a thing.....I'd bet he has a very large endowment trust written into his will for the University after he and his spouse pass.

Ducks 28-27 2 TO 3 Sacks 210 yards passing

Far from an expert regarding Mr Knight. My understanding is that he has already transferred huge amounts of wealth to his children. His intention with the rest is to give most away prior to his death so he can enjoy the effect and see it happen. Since he is 88 and the road is getting short it may be that he and his spouse are accelerating doing what gives them joy. God bless them both.

IMHO Unfortunately, this question is a symptom of the newer generation of everybody is special children where the participation trophy reigns. In football its kill or be killed. We are trying to teach young boys to be men. Some take that as a chance to make life fair. There is no fair in life. Except on TV or some communist collective farm. That fish and beef we eat knows exactly how fair life is.

Yes......and the USC game may determined on both sides by which QB's show up. Maiava has the same issues......with some awful decisions at times. Dylan was also a 5 star and has gone thru some crap.....but has shown an ability to carry a team at times.....Donte rides with the wind and when the wind blows against you.....he is no sail. Do I expect Lanning to just switch....no....but if the half time stats and results are obviously bad QB play.....give Dylan the ball and see what happens. A loss in LA is going to be really bad for Oregon. A win could be the start of the climb. With a somewhat shaky OL Oregon may need a QB that can create instead of just administer.

The Trojans play a totally different level of game at home. They are a very weak travel team. Oregon needs to clear its head and execute without errors. If it does it will win based on superior talent and execution. Which sounds like Indiana.

I feel old........and Kiffin looks old.

Depends on if you want to win.......if you want to be nice guys Dante will start.......if you want to win Dylan should be given his chance if the Ducks don't move it against USC by half time. If Rutgers can hang 35 on them......at the half we should have 24.

Frankly, if Donte has a bad half against USC.....I would insert Dylan without hesitation. Talent and potential is one thing, winning the big ones with great execution is another. We have the luxury of a Dylan existing and being paid.......use him. He is used to being under pressure at Nebraska.

Let's hope the boys kept some fire for USC. That game could put Oregon right back into the top 10 depending on the quality of the win. An extra day of rest sure does not hurt.

Sometimes a loss is the best thing that can happen to you........Even two (Ohio State) might be a positive. College football has evolved. It's all about the playoffs.....the conference means little.

Which I guess, tells me, that the coaching was sub standard that day. Not willing to take it too far yet.
