Already some out of character impact on the game. Masoli, only 4 picks all year, throws it to the beavers. oregon state doesnt force a lot of turnovers. Thats why games arent played on paper, but inside tiny TV boxes instead.

Man, I only hope that within next 2 years our offense becomes at least half as functional as Oregon's offense. Damn this offense is explosive; they executed that option pitch perfectly, in which we struggled with so badly and what was the turning point in the Purdue game with fumble on that play in 3rd quarter.

RR recruited him heavily once he realized that Pryor isn't coming to Michigan(after his visit to Michigan). Masoli wasn't a big fan of going away from home in a long distance but was willing to commit to Michigan. Oregon's starting QB, Nic Costas sufferred a major injury. Chip Kelly, then Oregon OC, convinced Masoli to commit to Oregon based on RR's recruitment of Masoli as a mean of a system fit. Masoli committed to Oregon and the rest is history. RR is left with Steven Threet and Nick Sherdian as the starting QB. Masoli has the grades to qualify as a Michigan transfer and would have been the starting QB for Michigan. We wouldn't have needed Tate Forcier.

Did anyone catch Craig James say, "I like watching his brother come up from behind". Kinda threw me off.

He does that a lot. I remember about 3 or 4 weeks ago it was during a show and Lou Holtz came up and he kept trying to talk like him and make fun of him and the other two guys were looking at him and you could tell they just wanted to slap the hell out of him.

I heard someone (Brent Musberger maybe?) talking about it a fwe weeks ago when the Quacks were playing someone else (SC?) he evidentally learned a lot from RR while he was still HC at New Hampshire. Living in a burb of Columbus, I cant wait to watch the Rose Bowl. It will be fun to watch all the OSU fans squirm against the Duck Spread. Personally, I am hoping and thinking Michigan's run game will get a whole lot better next year with another offseason of lifting and tutoring under Barwis. Jut would like to see them get some big name recruits signed.

Chip was an assistant coach at UNH working up to the OC starting in 1999. He ran the spread as learned in some coaching camps with Rich Rod, so in my opinion there's a link there but I don't know if you can call him a RR product as they were never really part of the same staff. I don't think many people know that this is Chip Kelly's first year ever as a head coach.
