Mixon is #6 in this video. He was pretty underwhelming.

Both teams have missed on some good opportunities. Thaw fuskies are kind of in the same boat as Oregon was yesterday. They’re playing a team who is highly motivated to upset them. Frankly, I would rather the fuskies win so that the strength of schedule isn’t weakened.

The fuskies are dominating the game but can’t finish drives. They seem to be a one-man show with Demond Williams accounting for most of the offense. The goal line stand right before the end of the half was pretty entertaining. I liked the fact that there was some ex-Duck on ex-Duck violence on 4th down with Keith Brown, stuffing Jaden Limar at the goal line.

In 2014 Ohio State started the season with an unimpressive win over Navy and then lost to an unranked and eventual 7-6 Virginia Tech team. We all know how their season ended.

I totally agree with your take on the linebackers. Jackson had five tackles and Mixon had four. Good enough for seventh and eighth for the game. The top six tacklers were DB’s and DL. Don’t even get me started on Mixon’s effort on the Sire Gaines TD after the fumbled punt return. I trust that Dan Lanning reminded him that the armless tackle is a very low percentage defensive play.

Dan Lanning’s best fourth down decisions yesterday was to bring Ettridge in to punt the ball. On two of his three punts, he buried the ball inside the 10 yard line. Both times Boise went three and out and punted the ball back giving Oregon great field position (50 and BSU 44 yard lines). Oregon scored TD’s on the subsequent drives. I believe the win may have been a lot less nerve wracking if DL had made the safe call and made Boise try to drive the length of the field on his defense. We probably would have seen a 14+ point win.

I was curious about how much playing time Oregon’s outgoing transfers would earn after leaving the team last season. It seems that most transfers that have left Oregon in the past have ended up buried on another depth. However, this last group has produced quite a few starters and backups. Some players of note are below. Lopa, Perry and Johnson are starting at Cal. Jaden Limar and Jay Harris are backups at Washington and KSU. Terrence Green is starting for Bama and Tionne Gray is a backup for Notre Dame. Sionne Laulea and Jahlil Florence will be staples in the Mizzou defensive backfield. Moga earned the starting job at New Mexico after the original starter was injured.

As a freshman for Tulane, Hughes posted 1,378 yards on 258 rushes,

Lane thrives on drama. He couldn’t stand the comfortable situation he was in at Ole Miss. It’s as if he needs to live his life being constantly on the verge of getting fired, divorced and sued.

Will Matayo Uiagalelei dominate this season? He had six sacks last year, but 10.5 in 2024. Which Freshman shows his greatness early and gets Duck fans excited for the future? Will Drew Mehringer’s play calling be an upgrade from Stein or is he still the guy he was a Rutgers (15 PPG). Is Huyrich trustworthy or do we have another Alejamden Maldolewis on our hands?

Oregon 28-20 1 TO 2 Sacks 267 Passing Yards New coordinators, new O-Line, and a new kicker will be the reason for only 28 points. Boise is always a tough opponent for the Ducks, so that factors into my prediction.

They will have one advantage against Oregon on September 12th. It will likely be 100+ degrees. They will be much improved over last season, but it will probably take some time to gel. I also don’t think they will be very good defensively. Mestemaker is going to have to score a lot of points.

I don’t think the Ducks will get a chance to get too deep into the roster. There are three things in life that are certain. Death, taxes and Boise State playing great against Oregon. I’ll wait to give my prediction later in the week, but I think it will be a one-score game. Part of the reasoning is BSU’s consistency and it being the first game of the season. The other part is Oregon’s new coordinators. They’re not new to the program, but I think they’ll experience some growing pains. Especially if they try to run a vanilla game plan.

The Fusky rowing team's main opponent in the 1936 Olympics was the Germans. Yet, the villain still won.

Not only did he get back out on the ice and score the game winner, He continued to crush cold beers late into the night. I hope the doc numbed him up because I can't even stand drink room temp water after dentist visits.

Canada’s coach was not pleased with the 3 on 3 OT format. He said it was not a good way to finish a gold medal game. He must have forgot Canada won the 2010 gold medal vs. USA with a 4 on 4 OT format. I’ll take a 3 on 3 over the shootout format any day. If you look at both rosters Canada had a fairly decisive speed advantage which is crucial in 3 on 3 hockey. Conner McDavid is the fastest skater in the NHL. Nathan MacKinnon is third fastest and Cole Makar is the fastest defenseman in terms of acceleration in short bursts. All three were on the ice when Hughes scored the winner. If Jake Oettinger or Jeremy Swayman had been in goal for Team USA, Canada would have won 5-1 or 6-1. Ask any Bruins or Stars fan. They will all say the same thing.

Hang it in The Louvre. I love this reference to Herb Brooks’ pre-game speech before they played the Soviets in 1980.

I really like him in Colors as Officer Hodges, but this scene from Four Christmases was pretty funny.

Is the Athletic department getting their advice from Jerry Jones?

I reserve this title for guys who didn't quit half way through a Pac-12/Rose Bowl championship season.

It doesn't get any more "Eugene" than disc golf. He's also going to have to start wearing patchouli oil and play hackysack in his spare time.

The Patriots have the only for Duck players on their roster in this game. Gonzo and "The Quitter". However, I am picking the Seahawks to win much to my chagrin. Seattle 17-13 1 TO 2 Sacks 197 Passing Yards

The bright lights of Autzen shouldn't be too much for him.

UCLA plays eight straight without a break as well.
