To be absolutely fair I would choose most top 10 teams over Iowa (with some exceptions), but not by much. I give us a 40% chance at MSU.

Well, yeah. Getting flagged for unsportsmanlike on defense on a 3rd & 15 is pretty telling too.
As if we needed further evidence that Oregon isn't a well-coached team.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Fire Don Pellum, it has to be done.
The Beavers suck, I know, they are my team.. and they are horrible.. they look like a good team today against this defense.
The whole "they're young" defense is bullshit.. they haven't really improved all season.. still same mistakes being made.. and it's all how they are being coached too, they have skilled players.. a lot of them.
The offense is fine now, it really was all just lack of a decent QB early on... but this defense can't be defended.
You are getting destroyed by the Oregon State offense... which is the worst in the Pac-12.

I don't really think you'll find anyone here that needs to be convinced of any of this.

He's had plenty of defenders during the win streak.. some reason people forgive how bad it is when they win.
...and they should have gotten that 4th down conversion... dude was wide open and he just didn't catch it.. but he was so wide open on 4th.
I wanted to punch people who tried to give Pellum credit for the Stanford win.
The Oregon front 3/4 are actually pretty good, especially against the pass. But the secondary is so bad it doesn't matter.

Delay of game on the defense?

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
It's bad scheming and coaching.. or just really stupid players. Honestly though, it's coaching.. just terrible schemes.. guys ALWAYS out of position. They make it easy on opposing offenses since there's just guys always wide open.
Happens pretty much only if they interfere with the setting of the ball.
It begins and ends with coaching, yeah. The most consistent thing about this Oregon team has been opposing receivers running free downfield.

Yeah, there was none of that in the Oregon/Oregon State game, not that it really mattered in the end.

I don't understand why the game is delayed. Might as well not play the whole weekend if they can't handle these conditions. Even a Charlie Strong coach team played in these crap conditions last night.

They got athletes on defense. Gotta blame coaching.
..and damn.. Cal v Richmond is on now... there's like 100 people in the crowd it seems.. that's pathetic.

Holy fuck, Oregon gave up 48 to the Beavs?
We were flipping channels and thought the game might be on a rain delay because there was nobody within the camera's view.

no need to specify OOC for Notre Dame

I'll never drive from Dallas to Houston and back in the same day again. Other than that, good experience. Houston is in the drivers seat for the access bowl slot.
And as long as Temple takes care of business tomorrow, the AAC AAC AAC champ should be locked up for the access bowl slot regardless.

Most P5 programs play 1, maybe 2 P5 opponents OOC. Notre Dame has played 9 P5 opponents OOC this year. Gotta give em credit for that

Passing in this TCU vs Baylor game seems pointless.

Yeah that's tough. At least you can legally go 75mph on 45, and the flow is usually around 85mph so its not that bad unless there's a wreck or road construction. There has been ongoing road construction near Corsicana for 20+ years and its annoying as hell.

Hit rain pretty much the whole way back... So 60-70 the whole way.
But yeah at least no congestion except for in Houston just leaving campus onto 45.

quite a temp change too. I hear it's almost freezing in DFW but we're in the 70's with humidity in Houston. That's Texas weather for you

Yup wore khaki shorts and a T-shirt to the game. Getting into the DFW area I glanced down at my car temp gauge and it was reading 41.
Should have expected it when I made the stop at Buc-ees or whatever that monstrosity is called. It was already a bit cooler there.

Jesus Christ... All these turnovers
I drove from Corpus Christi to Dallas this morning. The difference was quite stark.

This game is hilarious to watch... just a complete mess and has both these teams flustered

Good thing it doesn't look like it'll get cold enough to freeze!

Are they playing with a running clock? Clock was going down even though he went out of bounds.
Doesn't look like it, maybe that was just an error.

So it literally takes hell freezing over for there to be some defense in a Big XII game.
If it isn't the last two minutes the clock runs at the ready of the official just like with a first down.
If it was within the last two minutes (I didn't see) then yeah, I assume mistake.

The Big 12 defensive player of the year should be awarded to "Heavy Rain"

Looks like AD and head coach might be out.
