2007? That year never happened. Plague or something.

But Oregon is absolutely a legit football team and has been for years!

It’s a failing of all of college football right now. We keep firing perfectly competent coaches to chase the next Saban instead of looking in the mirror and realizing how hard it is to move from good to elite.

Mind-boggling throw that turns into a pick-6?

It’s also maybe worth noting that we’re REALLY young on defense this year, and the experienced players we’ve got aren’t post-season honors-level players.

True, but Chins was a 3-4 guy, which is a modern version of the 5-2 with more mobile ends. This year we just don’t have the horses at NT & 3T to consistently stop the run with 6 in the box.

See: the latest TD run on Counter just now.

Could be? He’s the coach and he makes that call. All I know is our DL has been on skates all year, we can’t set a consistent edge, and teams that have committed to the run have had better luck against us than teams who have not.

You know how it’s going to go. It’ll be wretched offensive football, but Iowa will have a late drive the length of the field and Drew MFing Stevens will kick one last field goal to beat us 15-13.

I’m the oldest of 3 who grew up in a house with 3 bedrooms. As soon as I left for college everything got rearranged and my parents reclaimed the master bedroom (my middle brother and I had shared it for most of the years after our baby brother was born).

I saw that Iowa - Oregon game. Iowa is way worse than Washington.
