Seem like you can throw three times and complete one pass for 3 yards or rush 3 times for 3 yards. How is an offensive coordinator to choose?

I was so worried Dan was going to go for it. Not with this offense still tied you do that.

I think Brock is fine for his role, but I am guessing the point being made is that for Brock to complete that 35 yard sideline throw from the pocket, it requires a bit of a wind up to uncork a bit of a rainbow to get there (which by testing his limits of what you would like to see him do, is much more likely to either sail by or float on him), than Dante who can deliver that on a rope with velocity out of his regular throwing motion. The difference between arguably having as much pure arm talent as any high school QB recruit the last decade compared to a very good walk-on. It is a pretty tough throw for a college QBs to regually make. I see some of the problems people point out currently in Dante's game, but making that throw as good and regularly as anyone isn't among them. In Brock's defense, until I see Raiola do it in 2026, I am not sure it is a throw he can make much easier either. 🤷‍♂️

I don't know if it has been discussed here in detail? I think in the end the refs got the call right, the umpire spotting the ball just simply never corrects the original mistake. I just rewatched the whole sequence. The ref announces it is half the distance to the goal. Ball is placed at the 1.5. The end of the run appears to be at about the one. Ducks start to line up. Refs stop the game and correct the call saying it was from the end of the run. UCLA coach starts to argue. Ball is picked up. After hearing the correction, umpire comes back and spots the ball where it was originally incorrectly spotted. Oregon tries to line up fast for a second time but Lanning comes out and starts arguing. He eventually seems happy. The rules guy on tv comes on and agrees it is half the distance from the end of the run, not the 1.5. Ball has still not been moved from the 1.5 yard line. Oregon finally lines up and snaps it. No one on Oregon seems to notice. My guess is Lanning thought he was getting the correct spot and assumed it was being moved, but is never is, and the Ducks just snap it. GoDucks.com lists the officials for the game in their summary, and the umpire spotting the ball is listed (according to RefMetrics.com) as having refereed just 17 career college games in 3 and 1/2 seasons (and in the funny little coincidences department for those enjoy such things, the umpire is from the state of Ohio). It could be fairly questioned how after all the arguing, delay, and clear announcement of how to assess the penalty, that the umpire kept putting the ball back in the incorrect spot. I mean, if you are confused, you have 7 other refs out there to check with.

I haven't known what to do with all of this NIL stuff because who really knows; but, with so much attention and so many people looking at it (and so many people involved digging for off-the-record info), the given numbers probably almost must be increasing in accuracy. So, take this with a grain of salt (and remember they aren't my numbers). A few seem mildly surprising. Not trying to pile on here, more trying to add to the discussion of whats and whys. The thought appears to be indeed Oregon spent close to 70% of its total budget on player retention; but, with such a large budget, it still had about $7 million in NIL to spend in 2026. Over half that apparently went to two players: • Perich ($2 million) and Raiola ($1.5 to $2 miilion, lets say $1.8 million to make the numbers simple) = $3.8 million • 6 players thought to be in the $400,000 to $600,000 range: Scott, Olesh, Hooks, Robinson, Williams IV, and Bennett = $3.0 million • 6 remaining players: Price, Dixon, Dantzler, Simmons, Ettridge, Emmett about $200,000-$300,000 = $200,000 again to keep it simple Total: $7.0 million (about as projected) I understand the Perich splash play (even if it doesn't work out as well as Thieneman); and, I think there are future hopes/roles for Olesh and maybe Robinson. That's $3 million that maybe you call good. What did Oregon get out of the remaining $4 million? I know Raiola was a play primarily for 2027; but, he came in with a 2026 obligation to get 2027, which now has to very much be called into question after what can almost only be described as one of the very worse performances from a Duck starting QBs in almost two decades. Just watching that game one would wonder if DR can even get to Anthony Brown levels of play from where he now is at (the lack of accuracy and velocity on many of his throws was jarring). I have a hard time thinking Oregon put $400,000 into Bennett but the sites seem to think that might even be low (but I refuse to estimate Oregon going any higher). Scott, Hooks, and Williams look like they may have already been passed by (Hooks running out of eligibility and the other two possibily on the move again to look to play). What could have Oregon done with that $4 miilion in NIL on the OL if the young OL was properly evaluated and prioritized and veterans were brought in to raise the floor? Some guys who were out there just as examples? • Lance Heard (from Texas to UK): senior with 24 career starts now starting LT at UK: $1.5 to $2.0 million • Jacarrius Peak (NC State to South Carolina): 5th year senior with 31 career starts, starting LT at SC: $1.0 million to $1.2 million • Melvin Siani (Wake Forest to Texas): senior with 27 career starts, starting RT at Texas: $1.3 million • Zavier Chaplin (Auburn to FSU): 5th year senior with 37 career starts, starting LT at FSU: $800,000 to $1.3 million • Colton Price (BC to UK): 5th year senior with 30 career starts, starting C at UK: $500,000 • Tegra Tshabola (tOSU to UK): 5th year senior with 29 career starts, starting RG at UK: $800,000 to $1.0 million • E'Marion Harris (Arkansas to Oklahoma): 5th year senior with 24 career starts, starting RT at OU: $500,000 to $1.0 million More guys were out there and obviously OL were in demand; but, in college football today, the $ rules (and Oregon's $ are as green as anyone's); and, with $4 million to spend, at least two (if not even 3) of these guys could have been in play if the staff chose its priorities differently. For example, the Ducks have a ton of trouble at LG? I think Luli played a lot of LG early in his career. For apparently $1 million in NIL, Oregon could have had the starting RG for Ohio State's 2024 National Championship team (Tshabola) and moved Luli to LG and I think the IOL would be miles better (and probably would have upset a lot of Ohio State fans along the way which would have been a nice bonus). I know one of Oregon's key NIL guys followed Stein to Kentucky for a promotion; but, that much impact seems a stetch. Sure seems like a ball was dropped somewhere; or, dare I say it, maybe just some hubris went into decision making. Was another CB really that big a priority? Was the slot really in that bad shape? For that matter, how can the veteran blocking TE you made a target not even get on the field to block? 🤷‍♂️

I tried to watch some of Gernorris and what I caught looked a bit bumpy; but, he always has made a lot of sense at RT. PFF still gave him the second highest overall grade on the OL after Laloulu (69.2) with a score of 63.6. He did not look out-of-place filling in for Harkey at Iowa last year. No one sees practice of course, but I imagine it's possible his recovery from last year's season ending foot injury has slowed his return? Big athletes and their feet can sometimes make for complicated injuries, what is Gernorris 6-5 and 320?

Concerning 2026, it all starts with the decision made with the OL in the offseason. The new Duck OC could be bad; but, a lot of stuff should still be working with a decent OL (and we should just be complaining about the new OC for overall lackluster numbers, rather than the collapse we have seen). The Duck OL looked confused at times last year with a 6th year senior, a 5th year senior, a 5th year senior, a 4th year junior, and a 3rd year sophomore (with 15 starts). What did it expect to see throwing in a bunch of young guys: Addison, Crader, Utu, Ferguson, Wilson, and veteran backup Rogers (a group with two career starts and very few overall meaningful snaps)? To make this move, the staff must have had a sky-high a degree of confidence in them before making that decision (which in hindsight seems even more odd given the Spring game struggles on the OL with the clear star of the day being a true freshman). Given the lack of portal interest in OL from Oregon, clearly a decision was made there was full confidence the young guys were ready to be at least a decent quality OL for a Top 10 team. I thought the Yale kid at first (since he was about the only OL target) might have been an Ajani Cornelius type (who was one of the FCS's most highly regarded young players before Oregon); but, no, he was just more veteran depth and insurance in the mold of a Nisad Strother (who arguably actually saved the OL in 2024 so is why a staff does such things). There was some buzz maybe it wasn't the greatest OL classes in the portal this year. Even if true overall, it doesn't mean there weren't a number of decent guys out there. In this case, veterans with experience in solid programs, which would have given the OL a massively higher floor. You give the Ducks the often maligned healthy pair of Harkey and World back, and I am pretty confident the Ducks are 5-0. Portal experienced talent that was available for 2026? Just among the top of one list: Jordan Seaton (JR/Colrado) : 22 starts (now LSU) Jacarrius Peak (5th SR/NC State): 31 starts (now SC) Lance Heard (SR/Texas): 24 starts (now UK) Coleton Price (5th SR/Boston College): 30 starts (now UK) Xavier Chaplin (5th SR/Auburn): 37 starts (now FSU) Melvin Siani (SR/Wake Forest): 27 starts (now Texas) Tegra Tshabola (5th SR/Ohio State): 29 starts (now UK) E'Marion Harris (5th SR/Arkansas): 24 starts (now Okla) Joe Brunner (5th SR/Wisconsin): 24 starts (now Indiana) Aliou Bah (5th SR/Maryland): 24 starts (now LSU) Emmanuel Poku (5th SR/E. Carolina): 26 starts (now SC) Now, obviously the Ducks couldn't have gotten them all; but, some? A couple? Kentucky found a way to sign 3 of the top 8. We seen the struggles at LG all season? What happens if instead Oregon had Tshabola plugged in there? I know he was a bit of a controversial figure at tOSU, but his 29 career starts and a bunch of big games, I am sure elevates what we have seen at that spot so far almost immeasurably. Instead, Oregon went for a high profile backup QB, a high profile safety (who at least so far hasn't had the expected impact for the defense), a backup DL (who hasn't played much), and a backup WR (who hasn't played at all). Stein faced a similar huge question mark on his OL and went out and got four portal OL starters (which often is considered a recipe for complete disaster); and, have surprised everyone starting 5-1 with its OL being singled out as a huge reason for its success (reading a couple articles). Oregon fans are not only left wishing for Kentuckly level OL play, we probably are wishing for Oregon State or Oklahoma State (built with North Texas transfers) level of OL competence (which we likely probably will only continue to dream about the rest of the way).

Came across this one. It isn't pretty. It is one play from the game, but if you are willing to "continue watching" and open it up in X (then hit the "X" to get rid of the pop up), it scrolls to nine examples of the OL from the game.

Interesting. Very possible, but no one at USC should be packing it in at 4-1 (or now 5-1). 9-3 for USC considering their schedule has Oregon, Ohio State, and Indiana, would seem well within expectations. 1-2 in those three games had to be the reasonable goal (and is still out there for them). USC beating UW means they have a good shot at 8-4, which will have them in the top 25 (which keeps it a top 25 win for Oregon). It will be interesting to see how UW responds. This friday night with Iowa coming to town looms large. If they drop that one, 5-7 definitely seems firmly on the table.

It is certainly could be a fond recollection watching Chip and Northwestern run for 413 yards at 7.2 yards per carry against Penn State. However, the week prior it was 32 yards at 1.2 yards per carry against a very good and well coached defense. Eventually Chip finds some success throwing the ball in the game, but, too little too late. Seems like we have seen this movie before? With Oregon, Iowa, and Ohio State still on Northwestern's schedule, I would say there is a pretty good shot we see it at once or twice more this season? Some heavy lifting done by that year as OC at Ohio State by Chip for sure; but, it was at Ohio State. It was good to see Chip put that all together; but, I mean, absolutely loaded offense. If one can pair Chip's running attack with a 5th year senior QB who ended up almost 10,000 career passing yards and Emeka Egbuka, Jeremiah Smith, and Carnell Tate, that might be the cheat code? Hard to replicate (even for Ohio State). 🤷‍♂️

I don't think Cignetti can claim Chesney? He was HC at Holy Cross the whole time Cignetti was at JMU and Cignetti took most of the JMU coaches he liked with him to Indiana (and as far as I can tell the two never coached together anywhere else). Interesting comparison between the two is Chesney is in his 17th year as HC and Cignetti in his 16th. Cignetti spending 6 years at Division 2 and 5 years in the FCS, and Chesney 8 years at Division 2 and 3 and 6 years in the FCS. Chesney becoming a HC at 33 while Cignetti didn't until 50 (Chesney actually got his first HC job a year before Cignetti did). One would think that some teams might come calling for Indiana's DC Bryant Haines (40) and OC Mike Shanahan (36) very soon. Not as familiar with UCLA's guys, but I think their OC (Dean Kennedy) is only 35 and will be a name to watch with a couple more good offensive seasons. Their DC Colin Hitschler (40) I believe also has a good reputation having worked 6 years under Luke Fickell and a season with DeBoer at Alabama before JMU, and also could be a name to watch somewhere at some point. Maybe somebody else can enjoy the off-season coordinator poaching cycle this winter? 🤷‍♂️

I went back and took a look. In the final drive, Oregon had in its 4th QB of the day, throwing his first career passes, two true freshman in on the OL (Iheanacho, Tofi) and 3 young OL with 16 career snaps between them (Brooks, Stascausky, Manning). It had two true freshman in at RB (B. Smith, T. Ball), a walk-on TE who had never played (Cole Newton), and ran through 4 WRs: one WR playing his first game (Ressler), true freshman (Dayton Raiola), and two walk-ons (McCoy, Brady Bidwell). Prior to the game, none of the skill guys in on the drive had recorded a single career counting stat (pass attempt, rush, or catch). 8 career snaps from Brooks was the veteran out there, followed closely by Tofi's 7 career snaps. Ohio State had it's five star and likely "heir apparent" QB in throwing on 3rd down with 3 1/2 minutes left up 59-0 against Kent State. The play actually was intercepted and returned 48 yards which led to a Kent State FG. Both teams kept playing and I'd imagine Kent State was pretty happy making a late play to avoid being shutout. They asked the Kent State LB (Tanner Mintz) about the late interception in the post game and he said: "I came here to play football. I saw the ball, had my opportunity, I took it. Gotta do whatever I can to try to flip the script for us." Seems like Tanner wanted no part of Ohio State taking it easy on Kent State.

Kentucky I believe went out and got 4 starting portal OL. A 5th year senior with 31 consecutive starts from Baylor, a 5th year senior who started the last two seasons at Ohio State, a forth year former 5 star who played in 36 games/25 starts at LSU and Tennessee, and a forth year former top 200 recruit from Alabama (who had not played a lot there yet). Three of its younger back-up OL are also portals from Tennessee, Northwestern, and UTEP. That had to be a decent sized portal investment. Compared to Oregon, who took some heat on portal OL last season, and only went out and got one budget friendly FCS guy. Last season, the one P4 conference portal OL at Oregon ended up a first team AP All-American, and the two G6 guys ended up really ok, especially against most of the schedule (it has been argued elsewhere perhaps expectations for a second team Sun Belt OT and an HM Mountain West OT were perhaps a bit unrealistic as 5th year seniors beyond what they had put on tape). If the 2026 OL doesn't turn itself around, seems like getting possibly spooked in the portal and miscalculating how many young OL were going to be ready to spend NIL bucks elsewhere very well may be an offseason topic. 🤷‍♂️

My top 15 most disappointing/poorest performances in a loss 1993-2026 (I only go back to 1993 reliably). Not just toughest losses, but losses where things just were bad (or during the game went bad). Factoring in where Oregon was at as a program at the time, expectations against the opponent, the importance of the game, and so on (and not games like 1998 UCLA, 2010 Auburn, 2012 Stanford, 2022 Georgia, 2024 tOSU II, where it was either a competitive game that just didn't go the Duck's way, or just a very tough opponent). 15 Colorado (1995) Cotton Bowl (6-38): #7 Colorado (9-2) versus #12 Oregon (9-2). Coming off the Rose Bowl the year prior, Oregon had a shot at its first 10 win season and a first top 10 finish. Oregon brought a reported 14,000 fans to Colorado's 6,000 to a cold and rainy Dallas. With a 7-6 score in the second, Tony Graziani throws a pick returned 95 yards for a Colorado TD. Oregon goes on to commit 5 TOs. With 5 minutes to go leading 32-6 and running 7 straight times, on 4th down Colorado coach Rick Neuheisel calls a fake punt and pass for a 28 yards (Oregon fans not pleased). Included because it was just a huge letdown game for a success hungry program and fanbase, losing then its forth straight bowl game. It was a gloomy day (upper 30s with a cold drizzle) and the teams combined for 8 TOs. The game really turned on the pick 6 (going from going in for a go ahead score to suddenly down a score in an instant). Oregon once leading 6-0, was outscored 38-0. Yardage ends up being 313 to 267, with the fake punt being 28 of that. 14 OSU (2004: 21-50): Oregon and Oregon State enter the Civil War both 5-5 with probably a bowl game on the line. Derek Anderson throws for 351 yards and 4 TD plus a rushing TD, Mike Haas has 9/154 receiving and two TDs and Kellen Clemens is held to 126 yards passing and 3 picks in Corvallis. Oregon closes the game to within 6 in the third quarter, but momentum turns and OSU outscores Oregon 23-0 to finish the game. Oregon is outgained 455 to 235. Oregon ends up 5-6 in Bellotti's only losing season (and doesn't beat a team with a winning record that year). Included because it was a very rough ending to a very poor season, collapsing to the rival Beavs. It also was the end of the third season after finishing #2 in 2001, the Ducks going from 11-1 to 5-6 rather quickly and unceremoniously. 13 California (1993: 41-42): After an Independence Bowl loss the previous year, Oregon jumped out 3-0 and travelled to #17 Cal. It came out firing and built a big 30-0 lead. Cal then proceeded to perform the then 2nd greatest comeback in FBS football history. Cal scored the winning TD with 1:17 left with a 26 yard TD to Iheanyi Uwaezuoke then a 2 point coversion in the corner of the endzone by Mike Caldwell. Danny O'Neal for Oregon completed 17 passes for 313 yards and 3 TDs, Derrick Deadwiler caught 11 of those for 234 yards. Post game coach Brooks, "It's got to rank up there with one of the toughest defeats in my life." Included because expectations were very high at the time, the Brooks led Ducks were going to (again) turn that corner after a couple down season, starting 3-0 and coming out and jumping all over ranked Cal at their place. The game then just changed in then historic fasion. Oregon still has a late chance to salvage a win but allows the 2-point conversion in the corner of the endzone. Devastating loss at the time. 12 OSU 2022 (34-38): 34-17 Duck lead after a Duck FG to start the 4th quarter. OSU gets a long KO return then scores a TD on 3 runs. Oregon gets a decent KO return but a holding puts them back to their 8, they stall, the punter drops the punt and OSU recovers at the Duck 2 and in two more rushes scores again. Up 3, Oregon goes for it on 4th and 1 from their own 29 and gets stuffed and OSU takes over and scores in 4 rushes to lead 38-34. Oregon drives all the way to the OSU 5, then fails to score in 4 plays and OSU takes over on downs with 2:58 remaining. With 6 more rushes, OSU runs out the clock. 15 straight rushes by OSU to win it. Included because prior to yesterday, it was the worse loss of the Lanning era. Being unable to stop the Beavs when they weren't even trying to throw was particularly demoralizing. 11 UW (2002: 14-42): 14-14 at half, UW outscores Oregon (who was still rated #23 at kickoff) 28-0 in the second half and Neuheisel and his players dance at midfield on the O at Autzen. Cody Pickett throws for 316 yards and 4 TDs and Reggie Williams catches 3 TDs. Included because, at the time, Oregon had won 5 of 7 from UW, and 2002 had started off well, highly ranked and 6-0, then teams found out Oregon could not cover anyone. The UW game in the middle of losing 6 of final 7, dancing on the O was pretty exasperating. 10 Stanford (2013: 20-26): Under Helfrich, Oregon had started 8-0 and and was averaging 55.5 points per game. Stanford was 7-1 and #5. In the 4th quarter, Stanford led 26-0. With the offense sputtering all night, Mariota, nursing a sore knee, attempted a bit of a late comeback (aided by an onside kick recovery and a 40 yard FG blocked and returned for a TD by Rodney Hardrick); but, ultimately were held to 312 yards of offense and just 20 points. Included because jumping out 8-0 post Chip Kelly and putting up 56 a game came crashing unceremoniosly to a hault. Through 3 quarters Oregon's explosive offense had been held to 0 points and about 175 yards. It had 6 drives only to that point, 3 ending in punts, one on a missed 4th and goal at the Stanford 4, and two with fumbles. 9 Arizona (2013: 16-42): Eleven games into the Helfrich era, probably the first real game that showed there might be more serious problems post Chip Kelly. Oregon was behind 35-9 in the third. Ka'Deem Carey rushed a whopping 48 times for 206 yards and 4 TDs as UA rushed for 304 yards on the day. 9-1 Oregon commits 3 TOs in route to its second loss. Included because Oregon had survived the loss to what ended up being a good Stanford team but went down to unranked 6-4 Arizona and got throttled. Could not stop the run and also Arizona QB (BJ Denker) goes 19-22 for 178 and 2 TDs. 8 Wake Forest (2002) Seattle Bowl (17-38): Coming off a #2 finish in 2001 and once ranked #6 in the nation, Oregon finishes the season losing its 6 out of last 7. Fife starts the game 1-10 passing and is replaced by FR Kellen Clemens. Wake Forest, making its 6th ever program bowl game appearance, jumps out 21-3, Oregon closes within 7 in the 3rd, then is outscored 14-0. Oregon is outgained 497 to 290 on the day. Included because it was a tough ending to a very rough season. Game known most for college football discovering Seattle was probably not a successful location for a bowl game (lasted two years after which no one wanted to finance a 3rd); and, a large turnout of Husky fans who showed up to cheer for Wake Forest. 7 Indiana (2004): 24-30 #23 Oregon outgains Indiana 495-198 but commits 7 TOs to snap Oregon's 21-game home OOC and 11-game home opener win streaks. Indiana goes on to win just one more game the rest of the season. Included because #24 Oregon loses an opener at Autzen with 7 TOs, despite going up and down the field on Indiana. It ends Oregon's home winning streaks and Oregon ends up not beating a team with a winning record that season, finishing 5-6. 6 UW (2016: 21-70): Maybe the game that ultimately ended the Helfrich era. Second most points allowed in Oregon history (it gave up 71 at Texas in 1941). Jake Browning threw for 6 TDs and ran for 2 more. Myles Gaskin rushed for 197 yards and a TD. Washington piles up 682 yards of offense with 378 rushing yards. Included because it was just rough to watch. Washington appears to be happy to make it convincing for its out-for-blood fans (after Oregon winning 17 of the last 21 over UW), and Oregon seems pretty helpless under Helfrich to stop them. Jake Browning's "point" at Jimmie Swain remains part of the rivalry lore. 5 Utah II (2021: 10-38): The Mario foot out the door Pac-12 Championship game. Even with losing the first matchup, Oregon was still ranked #10 and Utah #17. For a second game, Oregon is essentially uncompetitve falling behind 23-0 at half and 38-3 in the 4th. Oregon only manages 221 yards of offense (and really doesn't seem to change much from the loss 20 days prior). Included in part just because it felt like a near repeat of the 7-38 game 20 days prior. Mario is announced to Miami 3 days after the game and fans are left with the feeling the coaching staff (and possibly some of the players who had the idea) sort of mailed it in (while the fans still very much cared). 4 BYU (2006: 8-38): BYU entered the game 9-2 and ranked #20 and Oregon was 7-5 and on a three game losing streak. However, BYU was Mountain West and Oregon Pac-10, and it was Oregon who got most of the attention in the game lead up (Bellotti I believe even got into a bit of hot water for some pregame comments about where BYU might slot if it was to play instead in the Pac-10). Oregon looked unmotivated and underprepared falling behind 31-0. Duck OL Geoff Schwartz later recalled: "While they're sleeping, we were partying." Included because coach Bellotti later called the game such a poor performance it became "program changing", as in so bad he felt it required a change and reset of where the program was at. 3 TCU (2015: 41-47 OT): #11 TCU versus #15 Oregon. TCU suspended its starting QB and Oregon and Vernon Adams jumped all over them 31-0 in the 1st half, outgaining them 376 yards to 142. Adams did collide helmets with a TCU LB and was out for the second half. TCU then outscored Oregon 31-0 in the second half to force OT. Oregon's second half offense was listed at 18 plays for 18 yards, while TCU had 356. TCU scores 6 in the 3rd OT while Oregon fumbles on 3rd and 2, forcing a 4th and 8 where Lockie misses Carrington ending the game. Included because one of the most shocking changes I have witnessed from one half to the next. Oregon looks absolutely dominate the first half under Adams and absolutely looks borderline inept without Adams in the second half (struggles to even snap the ball). 2 WSU (2003: 16-55): "Rich, Cool, 4-0" the previous week (beating #3 Michigan 31-27). The following week defending Pac-10 and #21 ranked WSU came to Autzen and were up 38-2 at half. After having no interceptions on the season, Clemens throws 4 picks and Fife throws 3 and Oregon fumbles twice for 9 turnovers. Oregon adds 12 penalties. WSU "only" needs 399 yards of offense to put up 55. Included because after #3 Michigan and rising to #10 nationally, there was a feeling 2002 had been a fluke and Oregon had returned to 2001 Fiesta Bowl form and were set to return to being a national player. One week later Oregon crashes back to ground and looks boarderline inept getting rolled at home by a very solid WSU team 1 Oklahoma State (2026: 39-31): After a supposed wake-up call last week, #6 Oregon loses to a team on a 21 game FBS losing streak, in a game that probably wasn't as close as the score indicates. Outgained 554-281, and 25 first downs to 12. I don't know where to start on the rest of this one.
