There are few teams I like to see lose more than I like to see USC lose. Sorry, Trojan fans. So, this weekend was pretty glorious from my standpoint. Oregon warmly welcomed USC into Autzen Stadium, and then proceeded to hand them their asses on a plate, winning 47 – 20.
Yes, you read that correctly. Forty-seven points. That’s the most points USC has ever given up since a very high-scoring game at UCLA in 1996. The entire Oregon team was on fire, but the major difference in this game was quarterback Jeremiah Masoli. He had 222 passing yards, 164 rushing …read more

Ok, let’s get it out of the way right now and say that ranked teams need to step it up. I already talked about how the AP Top 25 changed drastically this week with a crazy 15 teams moving either up or down three places or more. Three places. Those are huge jumps and drops. It’s uncalled for, especially when you take into account that many teams had games that weren’t supposed to be that hard.
So, at least the top three teams stayed strong. Of course, the big news for #1 Florida, who beat Kentucky into the ground, was that …read more

No longer do we have a top ten with perfected records. This week, Oklahoma bust into the number 10 spot with a blemished season. The rest of the AP top 10 are still unmarred after week three:

Florida
Texas
Alabama
Mississippi
Penn State
California
LSU
Boise State
Miami
Oklahoma

What’s significant to note is who is not there anymore. And really, that boils down to my favorite team to bash, USC.
Sorry, USC fans. This was supposed to be an easy week for you. The Trojans took on Washington, and after a week at Ohio State’s horseshoe, everyone thought that this would be a relaxing game. Only Matt Berkley couldn’t start, so …read more

Everyone’s still talking about about LeGarrette Blount’s hot head after the Oregon – Boise State game on Thursday night. As one of the first games of the season, I personally think that it’s a shame that people will remember it for the punch and not for the actual game. Oregon has a lot to learn in the next week, and little of it has to do with tempers. Most of it has to do with their offense not completely sucking.
So, now the penalties have been announced, and I’m a little shocked. We all expected Blount to sit out next week, …read more

Ah, my life is complete once again. College football, how I’ve missed you. Sure, we have the draft in the spring, but it just isn’t even to satiate my yearning for the clash of helmets on the field.
Week One is usually not very exciting, unfortunately. My favorite team, Penn State, plays Akron, so although this game means they’ll likely be able to keep a high rank, it won’t actually be that fun to watch. Actually, I don’t even think the game is being televised… Maybe I’m selling Akron short. *shrug*
In any case, despite all of the easy non-conference games we’re …read more

As far as life in the wild goes, I think I’d rather be a Grizzly than a Duck. Seems that some people think similarly about the situation in college football. After being released from the Oregon ducks in May, quarterback Justin Roper has announced that he’ll be a Montana Grizzly next season.
It isn’t that Roper isn’t good, according to the Ducks coaching staff. They just have someone better – Jeremiah Masoli. Montana gives him the chance to explore his NFL potential, according to what he told reporters earlier today.
Roper started during three games last year before a knee injury forced …read more
