If you were not near a TV or news feed today, then you missed out on some of the greatest games we have seen all season. When it is Rivalry Week, you can just throw out the records and expect both teams to bring it. So many exciting finishes, and I think we just might have a Heisman winner …
College football was fun today. There were so many entertaining games on all at once I don’t think I kept the TV on the same channel for more than a few minutes at a time. We had the exciting finish down at Auburn, while their rivals Alabama did not look like the N0. 1 team in the nation. FSU …
Kevin Cline If you ever have the opportunity to watch a big Ducks game in a backwoods South Carolina bar on $1 beer night, I highly recommend doing so. Unless you’re wearing an Oregon jersey and the team happens to get beaten like a rented mule. In that kind of situation, you’d probably meet this guy named Mo (or as …
Craig Strobeck The Spread Offense will never work. Stanford’s win over Oregon was clearly evidence of that. “Power Football” will always trump speed and innovation. So give up Ducks, old-school football has and will always prevail. This is the narrative that emerges following seemingly every Oregon loss. When Oregon loses, the argument never seems to be that Oregon with its …
I was starting to get worried about too many undefeated teams finishing perfect. Thanks to Stanford we had Oregon drop from the list of unbeaten. We still have Ohio State and Northern Illinois unbeaten thanks to their bye week coming at a convenient time . . . but do those teams really matter right now? Alabama keeps doing what …
Wikimedia Commons In the modern lexicon, there isn’t a word that reveals one’s level of online presence better than the word “troll.” (For those unfamiliar with the term, check out Wikipedia’s page on the subject. If you are still unclear on the definition, find the person in your life that spends the most time on Reddit and have them explain …
If you were looking for upsets this week then just stop reading now. We had many of the top teams on a bye week, while the others took care of business between the stripes. College football fans will have much to look forward to next week, as Alabama plays LSU and Oregon takes on Stanford. Don’t forget, we will have Baylor’s …
This could be the best Saturday we have had in college football this season. The upset bug was at work all around the country. We are really starting to see who are the contenders (Alabama, Oregon, FSU) and the pretenders (Clemson, Georgia, LSU). Team stocks are rising for the contenders and falling for the others. We had teams in …
“When Offenses Attack” was the theme of the day. It seems that as the season goes on we are seeing more and more teams put up massive numbers of yardage and points. You have Baylor and Oregon averaging more than 50 points a game, easy. Clemson and FSU just dominate whoever lines up in front of them. Ohio State and Texas …
Kevin Cine Week 5 of college football is over. No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon are still clearly the top two teams in the country, while the remainder of the top five held their spots for the third consecutive week. The Ducks are closing in on Bama’s endeavor for supremacy, however, and with that, the teams left on the schedule become increasingly important to …
Kevin Cline As Duck fans, we have to face the facts. Stanford beat us last year. That night they were the better team. Don’t anybody accuse me of “woulda, coulda, shoulda,” because I don’t have any. It’s the responsibility of the superior team to put enough distance between itself and the competition such that it doesn’t come down to a …
Kevin Cline On Monday, we looked at who could potentially crash the National Championship Game, but we all know that is not happening. It’s going to be two of the five teams below that play for a title. But who has the best chance? Let’s find out, unlikeliest to likeliest. 5) Stanford The last three years, the Oregon-Stanford game has …
