    (2) Oregon vs. (3) Florida State

    The ACC Championship game would have been a lot more interesting if the GT QB looked like he had learned to throw a football earlier than that afternoon in the parking lot. Winston's INTs in his last 6 games=12 Mariota's INTs in his last 39 games=12 If Oregon gets a double digit lead in...

    Kelly's 6 years at Oregon

    Crowton was a good hire for the transition. He was there 2005-6 We only lost to USC and Okie in 2005. Problem with Crowton is that he's not imaginative.

    How long?

    Looking at your Scout current verbal commits, there's a lot to like about the number of HS and JC four stars lined up to help out, though the list lacks O linemen. UT shares something with Oregon, a shallow in state talent pool. This means you need tireless recruiting efforts. If CBJ is that...

    Unrealistic Expectations (long)

    When you are near the end of your career, you can't be afraid of hiring the future when you see it. There are two ways to hire at the CEO level: bring on people who aren't as talented as you and be the undisputed master of the inferiors you've surrounded yourself with, or; Hire people as...

    Unrealistic Expectations (long)

    That yellow buzzsaw the Vols ran into last Saturday is now in its eleventh year of construction. Former HC Bellotti was beaten by Urban Meyer's newfangled Utah spread-option in 2003. Oregon adopted the spread/op and dropped the pro set in 2005. You guys first saw our offense in 2010, when it was...

    Teams that played Oregon closer than us

    Tennessee was not treated any worse than Nicholls St. or UVA was. The starters were pulled with four minutes left in the third. That's not making a point against UT or the SEC, or taking out "frustration." Besides, that's not how we roll. The Ducks' ultimate contest is to improve...

    I know it was Oregon..... but

    Oregon plays exceptional defense for a unit that is on the field for fully two-thirds of each contest.

    Another factor is that most of the games cited by the OP were first or second week games, not third. The Ducks tend to ramp up over the three non- con weekends.

    It's rather like Switzerland, only without the chocolates or the functioning economy.

    Check out these Oregon fans

    That last line of mine was only referencing national championship claims made upon little or no actual basis. We have a rival that claimed a 1960 MNC 48 years late. It doesn't smack of tradition, it reeks of current desperation. I'm not accusing UT of that at all, though some of your own...

    CFN Vols at Oregon prediction

    The key to how your day goes is Worley's play. If he has good pocket presence you have a chance. If he is the type to get happy feet and can't make completions on the fly, or move up in the pocket, he's an easy target all day long. All of the teams that have beaten Oregon since 2009, save for...
