Honestly the 4 team playoff makes my head spin with the many permutations that could happen with the Iron bowl and SEC playoffs around the corner. As I see it, there are 3 locks. Undefeated Clemson who has nothing standing in their way (that’s 1) Big 10 Champion (Ohio State or Minnesota will slug it …

The plan coming in for the Cougar defense was to limit Oregon’s explosive and chunk plays. Good plan but then CJ Verdell showed with all time record rushing numbers. Herberts touchdown (per game) TD throwing game stat ended, and I understand why (ball control and heavy run game). Our Defense showed up when needed and …

No, the outcome was not the best but the Duck effort was nothing short of tremendous. Unfortunately, in football, someone needs to come away wanting and Saturday was not the Ducks Day. I was looking at Facey and Duck fans are yelling “OFF WITH THEIR HEADS” calling on resignations of Arroyo all the way to …

In trying to take a look at stories to post on this site I was thinking what is our next foe looking like compared to our preparation to a very important first game. So I did a little research. here’s what I discovered. First with Auburn: Auburn’s experienced defense is steps ahead of its re-tooled …

Well, the sky has not fallen but a freak accident on a foot plant puts Brenden Schooler out for the non-conference schedule opening up some opportunities up for some other guys like Junior Johnny Johnson III taking over with starters Juwan Johnson and Jaylon Redd during camp and freshman Josh Delgado as Oregon’s backup flanker …
