Not that I care. But if you're going to be ignorant about it.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:09 PM ^
I got stanford too.
Let the Luck machine roll.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:09 PM ^
November 12th, 2011 at 8:12 PM ^
Really want to see them matched up against LSU in the title game -- probably the only shot they'll have at the MNC in the next two decades.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:25 PM ^
Another nice BCS title game would be OSUc versus LSU.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:14 PM ^
7 Nation Army is conquering college football one team at a time.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:17 PM ^
Ducks
November 12th, 2011 at 8:30 PM ^
That's a pick
November 12th, 2011 at 8:33 PM ^
After the over hyped SEC yawn-fest last week I hope it's one heluva offensive game.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:33 PM ^
What forward progress? I don't think Thomas took a single step forward at any point on the play. Just back back back back.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:35 PM ^
Normally I would never praise Brent Musberger, but I just enjoyed that call of "a GREAT PLAY BY THAT OFFENSIVE LINEMAN."
November 12th, 2011 at 8:36 PM ^
Jeez, what a terrible throw by Luck. He had a huge alley, should have run.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:39 PM ^
November 12th, 2011 at 8:40 PM ^
Why are they going for two? Did I miss something?
November 12th, 2011 at 8:41 PM ^
They saw an advantage when they lined up for the swinging gate and took it.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:40 PM ^
Somebody in the liveblog asked why Illinois did the swinging gate. Oregon just showed an example of why.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:40 PM ^
Or are the night games SOOOOOOOO much more fun to watch when Michigan won their game earlier in the day. Last week was not nearly as fun as it could have been, but I'm having a blast right now conversing with my fellow M fans and watching this great night game. Also switching back between the other games and the St. Edward/St. Ignatius playoff game. Then there is the UFC fight at 9:00 on FOX.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:56 PM ^
It's not just you.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:41 PM ^
Oregon is so much fun to watch. I would love to see them play Oklahoma State
November 12th, 2011 at 8:42 PM ^
I was just about to post what you just said. That game would be nothing but scoring every possession.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:54 PM ^
Not gonna lie: I want a Stanford-like offense in the future at Michigan.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:56 PM ^
Yes please.
November 12th, 2011 at 8:59 PM ^
Love the movement, tons of TE's/FB's involved - hell, even the OL shifts.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:04 PM ^
Yes, I want that offense back also.
And wow, LaMichael James is just nasty.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:01 PM ^
For whatever reason I can't stand Luck. Could be the ridiculous hype and the Suck-for-Luck NFL mantra. It's just silly.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:03 PM ^
November 12th, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
Well I certainly can't speak for the rest of us but I just can't stomach the hype. Let him play college ball and let the cards fall as they will. NFL QB success is a useless thing to predict.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:22 PM ^
He's the one who decided to play more college ball. He's not the one predicting he'll make it big in the NFL.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:39 PM ^
I'm not too sure. Just the overall vibe I get from him. I never said my distaste for him was rational.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:07 PM ^
If Stanford loses, it'll be Bama LSU. Ok state probably will drop to OU.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:10 PM ^
I don't think OSUc will lose a regular season game. OK doesn't have Broyles, remember.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:18 PM ^
DeAnthony Thomas looks incredible until the ball pops out.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:21 PM ^
Personally, I DON'T want Oregon's offense. Reminds me of us the past few years: lots of teeny-tiny guys running around alternating between making big plays, turning the ball over, and getting smashed by mediocre defenses (like Auburn).
Stanford's offense on the other hand: DO WANT. Can you imagine them with a bigger, more athletic line and some real playmakers in the backfield?
November 12th, 2011 at 9:24 PM ^
you are essentially stating your ice cream preference. Both are delicious.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:27 PM ^
Mint Chocolate Chip owns all.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:28 PM ^
I wish I could find those Hershey's Cookies and Mint bars still....
November 12th, 2011 at 9:43 PM ^
Appalachian State disagrees with you. As did Stanford last year and again in about 30 minutes. Florida ran a very similar scheme and won two titles with it.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
What's up with Dior Mathis? Is he doing anything at Oregon or did he not turn out so well?
November 12th, 2011 at 10:10 PM ^
He is like their 5th corner IIRC. He plays on special teams.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:32 PM ^
Might be the fastest college back I have ever seen. He just torched the entire Stanford defense. Just ridiculous.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:37 PM ^
Olympic caliber speed.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:40 PM ^
I've still never seen acceleration like that before in a football game.
November 12th, 2011 at 9:47 PM ^
November 12th, 2011 at 10:15 PM ^
I didn't watch Stanford much last year, but it seems to me like their offense has regressed a bit. I know Owusu is out, but last year they looked "in rhythm" on offense much more than this year.
November 12th, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
Stanford just can't get it together. Oregon TD here and it's game over.
EDIT: As soon as I pressed "post," they scored.
November 12th, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
Well so much for Luck's Heisman. If Oregon wins out, I think they're the best 1 loss team in the country.
November 12th, 2011 at 10:26 PM ^
I can see why some guys might take Barkley over Luck....I like them both but to me Barkley has a much stronger arm and is just about as accurate.
As far as having an offense to work with, i would take Mid 2000's USC before this Stanford offense any day of the week.
Oregon's D is at least 2 steps ahead of luck right now...kid looks horrible today.
much like Booise it's funny to see what happens to teams when they get hit in the mouth.
November 12th, 2011 at 10:27 PM ^
Stanford should have called timeout on that 4th down - get your defense set
November 12th, 2011 at 10:28 PM ^
I would take Chip Kelly over any coach in the country.
November 12th, 2011 at 10:35 PM ^
Is just making poor coaching decisions. That ridiculous field goal attempt, not calling timeout before the fourth down TD, pretty much anything that's related to probabilities making a low-risk, high-reward decision, he's calling wrong. Just braindead on the intangibles.
