The House has to decide whether to take up the bill, change it or leave it alone. If it changes the bill, the House and Senate would still have to agree on the same version. Congress begins their next legislative session on November 9th. There will be a five week period where they will vote between November and December, but there is no indication yet if they will even put the Protect College Sports Act on the docket.

You can read the whole article if you sign up and claim the free post. But posted what I could. The Oregon Audit: USCOregon did not dominate USC snap to snap. The Ducks won because their best plays carried more value, their situational football was better, and they beat their efficiency baseline in Los Angeles.There is a temptation to look at Oregon’s 41-27 win over USC and see a fairly conventional explanation. The Ducks gained 504 yards, averaged 7.4 yards per play, did not turn the ball over and scored every time they reached the red zone. USC finished with 446 yards and 5.9 yards per snap, and what had been a tie game early in the fourth quarter eventually became a two-touchdown margin. The box score says Oregon made more plays and eventually pulled away. The advanced profile says something more useful. Oregon and USC finished with identical 35% offensive success rates and identical 42% rushing success rates, while their leverage rates and percentage of passing downs were almost the same. USC actually produced more explosive plays. The difference was not how often the teams generated successful snaps. The difference was how much value Oregon extracted from them, especially through the passing game and in the highest-leverage situations. That distinction becomes even more important when the opponent adjustment is considered. USC entered the game fifth nationally in adjusted offensive EPA per play at +0.43, 10th in raw offensive EPA per play at +0.32 and seventh nationally in EPA per dropback at +0.53. Jayden Maiava entered as the national leader in total passing EPA among qualified quarterbacks, with 69.21 EPA through four games and 0.59 EPA per dropback. Oregon, meanwhile, entered with an adjusted offensive EPA per play of -0.23, ranking 108th nationally. That is why this Audit matters more than the raw 41 points. Oregon did not simply beat USC. The Ducks performed far above their own established offensive efficiency baseline while forcing one of the nation’s best offenses into a much less efficient game than it had been producing. The Oregon Audit: USCOregon did not dominate USC snap to snap. The Ducks won because their best plays carried more value, their situational football was better, and they beat their efficiency baseline in Los Angeles.

The Players Talk About the Hit
USC radio broadcast ripped for 'embarrassing' call of Desmond Stephens II hit on Dante MooreWith Moore now in concussion protocol from a scary hit he took on a targeting call, and linebacker Desman Stephens II being suspended by USC for the hit and his reaction afterward, there has been plenty of controversy surrounding the situation. In yet another aspect of the Stephens-Moore hit, college football fans have been critical of USC's radio broadcast team for how they framed the targeting call in real time when it happened. Here's a look at the viral clip from USC's radio broadcast and how fans have reacted. USC radio broadcast ripped for call of hit on Dante MooreAfter its games, Oregon posts a weekly YouTube montage showing moments from around the stadium. And after the Ducks' win over USC, an episode titled "For Your Brother" was released, which includes the moments after Moore was hit by Stephens and carted off the field. One of the clips included was from USC's radio broadcast. Yeah sure 🙄 After watching the replay, Arbogast — who has called Trojans games for nearly four decades — stuck by his words, saying he didn't think it looked like targeting. Analyst Shaun Cody, meanwhile, gave a look to the camera in the booth that indicated he did think it was targeting. When the clip of the radio call made its way to social media on Monday night and Tuesday morning, fans were critical of Arbogast for appealing too much to the Trojans crowd, misrepresenting the hit.
