Nick Saban just called a football field a triangle. SEC.

What are you drinking? I'm drinking Bell's Two Hearted.

defense seemed to do just fine in the second half last year against OSU, not their fault the offense didn't score.

One thing is for sure, UM will need to make improvements over the course of the season to able to beat this OSU team. Also not buying the NW hype as much now, after seeing what OSU is doing to Cal.

Also, we can hope Akron wins the MAC. Maybe takes some of the sting out...? I'm looking for any bronze lining right now

They won't finish .500 in the MAC.  Sorry.  I mean, I wish they would, too.  Wish there was a positive spin.  Only good news is that Ryan should be back in a few more weeks and hypothetically that should make our defense better.  Williams will be back by then too, and I think he was missed more than some may have expected.  Still no excuse, but....

If they can't stop A&M offense, Oregon's offense is better.  Their defense is really, really good (so much better than A&M, it's not even close).  I'm going to root for Nike U to play Bama and then just dominate them so SEC throne would be dead for good!

I couldn't agree with you more.  Oregon's O is scary good.  Its not like the past few years under Chip Kelly.  They have something extra this year.  I think Mariotta is vastly under-appreciated on the national stage.  De'Anthony Thomas might be the fastest tailback in the nation.   I saw Oregon's speed in person at the Fiesta Bowl last year, and they are/were on a different level than most teams.
