Another way to frame the BSU loss is to say we only had six first downs and 152 yards total offense. That is on a par with what we saw yesterday.

Braxton Burmeister started for SDSU against Arizona.

I agree. What I question is how Irving and Whittington got the early playing time. I probably missed something but the stats show Cardwell and Dollars averaged more than twice the yards per carry and appeared to be more reliable receivers.

Another disastrous opening game, look at page two. Six first downs and 152 yards certainly didn't foretell what was ahead. Rave Report (PDF) GODUCKS.COM Rave Report (PDF)

We spent the past four years learning why Nick Saban took some coaching duties away from Mario Cristobal. Was today a window on why Saban reportedly did the same to Tosh Lupoi?

Didn't the announcers keep talking about how superior the top three teams are to the rest of college football? Let's see how tOSU does against Notre Dame, a talented team with a brand new head coach.

BYU up 28-0 at the end of the first quarter. 233 yards of offense in nine minutes of possession.

Actually spot on. I believe everybody is surprised how pathetic they were, I know I certainly am. I hope someone will watch the film and post an evaluation of line play on both sides of the ball. My initial feeling is it won't grade out well.

Does anybody understand the running back rotation?

It hasn't stopped them for the past fifteen years. U$C could be 0-12 and the next recruiting class will make them NC contenders.

Six alumni are in the NFL Hall of Fame, another performed well enough to be the #1 pick in the NFL draft. Only one qualified for a top two place at Oregon? Somebody needs to do their research.

The self described "American Football Insider" from ActionNetwork (whatever that is) has breaking news! Somebody from Oregon asked a question in Chicago, nobody important involved.

John Bosco is a private school with tuition of $15,000 per year. The inequality between private and public schools athletic teams will grow even wider as the NIL money flows to schools with wealthier parents. The sad part is the public school athletes with the greatest need probably won't get any benefits.

$1.2 billion annually is a big number but let's put it in context. I assume that figure is for the final year of the contract, seven years from now. ESPN reports "The Big Ten is projected to eventually distribute $80 million to $100 million per year to each of its 16 members.", the key word being 'eventually'. The $80 million figure and 16 teams is the 1.2 billion, but that may not be happening until the end of the decade. What will be the purchasing power of the $1.2 billion and $80 million per school in 2029-30 after seven years inflation? The US Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator indicates if won't be as dramatic increase as it appears.

There's a disconnect at UW that they're Notre Dame or Michigan. They aren't. They never have been. 😂

I wonder how many schools in the semi-pro league would prefer to revert to the traditionalist model. I don't think institutions like Vanderbilt, Perdue, Northwestern etc have any illusion of getting to the national championship game. Wouldn't they prefer to be on an equal footing?
