Coach Sanders knows how to work a room. He has the whole country slobber all over the Buffs. USuC ain't gunna like it, they are the rightful owners of any love fest. Couple of things that are being ignored. Colorado put up a measly 55 yrds on the ground, 1.6 yards a carry. What does that look like going forward? Colorado surrendered 262 yd (7.1 per carry) on the ground and 279 in the air. Over 500 yards total. Buffs D will stop no one. What will the top of the pac do to Buffs D? Won't be pretty. TCU threw 2 pics in the endzone and missed a FG. Credit to Colorado. I only remember one of the pics. Nice diving catch at rhe goal line. TCU QB should have never thrown that ball. Bottom line. Buffs played well. They deserved the win. TCU played below their abilities and made costly mistakes. Happens first game out. Thats football. Congrats to Buffs on matching their win totals from last year. Can we pump the brakes a bit on the "Buffs are the greatest" hype. Lot of football to be played.

86% completion rate.

The 3rd down conversion rate defensively is nice to see. I don't remember many, if any, conversions 3-7 yards between the hash. Can't really remember PSU attacking middle at any depth. 20 pass attempts is a pretty low stat. Big point of concern heading into the season. Seems to be defended but being PSU, who knows. There is plenty of film Lanning can use as teaching moments regardless of strength of opponent or scoreboard.

It appears the Ducks QB room got better. Perhaps much better. Annoyingly, I have to preface every comment with "it was Portland State". TT was solid. Gone were the throws to the feet of his receivers in the flat. He looked poised and his decision making was almost perfect. Ty was going through progressions with no urgency or panic. He was making plays with his arm and feet. Gone was the panic on his face we have grown accustomed to seeing when he steps out on the field in front of 60k fans. He looked confident, relaxed. It made a difference in performance. It was nice to see Ty corral a couple bad snaps and not panic. In the past he would have panicked and make poor decisions. Instead TT secured the ball and moved on to make a play. Growth. His decisions to pull the ball and run were the right decisions. He ran with aggresion and purpose. I think this success loosened him up a bit more. There were a couple plays that he should have pulled the ball and ran but I get it. The quick slant to Briant Jr was perfect. Throw was very accurate and quick. Result in a +10 chunk. Ty would/could have missed that throw last year. TT also hit Lamar in the flat after scanning (or so it appeared) right to left, the entire field. Thats not something TT has done in the past. Two plays I am sure TT would want back. He under threw Kasper but drew a PI. So that resulted in a positive play. TT missed Lamar (?) Down the middle. He could have put it in the air a bit and it's a TD. Almost picked. Gotta make that play. Love Thompsons skill. Dude has a strong arm and its clear he is very accurate. He is a big strong kid. Best game he has played in a Duck uni. QB room has me a bit more confident in the future if TT's number is called. Hopefully what he showed is not just because of PSU talent level. Can't wait to see him perform v. better competition.

What is this, Lanning's 14 game? 11 wins. How long did it take Kirby to get his D up to the elite level they play at today? Duck could very well have a top five offense. So YES to a matching defense. Probably win the superbowl. Viks aren't talented enough get a read on where this D is at. Pretty bland play calling. PSU threw the ball 20 times. Many v. Ducks 2nd and 3rd team. Not much opportunities for sacs. Especially with a mobile qb. Defensive playbook will be opened up a bit more next week. Ducks front seven should be much more active.

Butterfield looked great for SJSU. Drove it down the fiels in 2 min drill and got a touchdown pass. Well done Butters

Smith is to good of a coach to coach a G5 school. The payout in the Mountain west isn't enough. Even if JS wanted to stay, Beavs wont be able to afford him.

Beavus in a tight contest in San Jose. DJ doesn't look like anything special.

Coaches job is to get his players in position to get better. Dan did that. When he subbed in 2nd and 3rd, he didn't change the game plan or play book. Exactly as he should have.

Yep... not much more to add.

College football is no longer college football. College has little to do with it anymore and it just become football. Oregon has been forced to take their brand global to quench their desire to become a true blueblood progr'm. This started over 2 decades ago. Ducks are a name brand and one of the most recognizable progr'ms in the country. The market size of the Willamette Valley has very little impact on Ducks future success. Ducks are right where the want to be and climbing. This is no accident, very much intended, very much on purpose.

Watching TT v. WY. Late in the 2nd TT is up 17-10 with 156 yrd of offense. Meh, they are ok. No way TT keeps up with Ducks. Techs D is going to get throttled. Oregons O could very well end up top 3 nationally. I think Ducks D comes out and plays with some urgency. Lannings presser, he kept going back to the "standard". Numbers were outstanding but again, eyeballs dont lie. Lanning will address it. Hopefully the D brings aggression and speed next week. Get after it. Right now, what I see of TT, Ducks by 17. Game never in risk. Colorado just got interesting. Looking forward to the Buffs forsure.

PSU took 20 pass plays, 37 run plays. Of those 20, several were throw aways and the rest were quick outs.They were 8 for 20 with a few very nice PBs. So the numbers are great in the defensive passing game. That leaves the eye test. To me they didn't look exceptionally fast. Also, there were some nice tackles (Bassa had some knock backs), but I didn't see the violent aggression I was looking for. Team tackling wasn't impressive. PSU is hard to grade a D against. Talent gap is just too wide. Came away wanting more but the numbers are impressive. So I don't know what this defense is yet. Guess we will find out next week. TT looks pretty decent offensively tonight. Should be a good test.

Thats 544 pushups. Duck gets the game ball

Hope Buffs get ranked this week and keep it up to Duck game. 6 ranked teams in conference would be epic. Well done Deon.
