I don’t know why they continue to overrate Texas. They weren’t that good last year and they really don’t look that good this year. Manning looks really rough.

Not sure I agree. First game against Ohio State at the shoe and they lost by 7.
I’m betting if they played again next week in Texas the game would be different.

Manning looked horrible. Not at all like a Heisman candidate. He missed a ton of easy throws.

4th?

Whittington
Limar
Davidson
Hill
Harris

they all looked better as RB's

I didn’t think Harris looked good on the carry he got. He had that good reception though.

If Hughes is that bad, I’m concerned. Limar and Whittington really struggled at times last year against B1G competition.

well, I did say the Ducks may have to do RB-by-committee.

Jonathon Stewart
Jeremiah Johnson
Legarrett Blount
LMJ
Barner
Royce Freeman
Thomas Tyner
Tony Brooks-James
CJ Verdell
Travis Dye
Bucky Irving
Jordan James

that list goes back to 2007, Chip's first season as OC. Right now, I don't think the Ducks have any RB's who are as good as the guys on that list. In some cases, the gaps are huge. Now it may be that Jordan Davidson and Dierre Hill will be as good a thunder/lightning combo as Oregon has had in a while. But they aren't there yet

but Hughes is disappointing at this point. The Ducks needed him to be much much better

Which is kind of my point. I honestly doubt he will look bad next week. When he was good he was really good.

Wonder how my Ducks quarterback would have looked at the Buckeyes and how Manning would have looked against Montana State at Billings or whoever we played.

What I like about Harris ( 6'2" 224) is that he looks to be a good blocker and receiver. So on passing downs, I feel good about him being in there.

As for Whittington, he struggled early in his return from injury last year, but he improved as the season progressed. And still finished the year with 6 yards per carry. I wouldn't sleep on him. He is a complete back.

As for Hughes, yeah, I expected him to be a bit more explosive. However, he may have been slow to grasp the offense, which could cause him to be indecisive on his runs.

The two true freshmen look to have a ton of potential.

Where are you seeing 6 Y/A?

Whittington had some good games against inferior competition. The only good game where he showed out was Penn State.

James -
5.4 Y/A
90.5 Y/G
1267 total yards
233 attempts

Whittington -
4.6 Y/A
38.6 Y/G
540 total yards
118 attempts


Noah's best games last season:
Oregon State - 64 yards on 7 attempts - 9.1 Y/A
Illinois - 56 yards on 7 attempts - 8.0 Y/A
Washington - 67 yards on 9 attempts - 7.4 Y/A
Penn State - 82 yards on 15 attempts - 5.5 Y/A

Noah's worst games last season:
Ohio State - 3 yards on 6 attempts - 0.5 Y/A
Wisconsin - 5 yards on 3 attempts - 1.7 Y/A
Ohio State - 7 yards on 3 attempts - 2.3 Y/A
Idaho - 33 yards on 14 attempts - 2.4 Y/A
UCLA - 21 yards on 8 attempts - 2.6 Y/A
Michigan - 36 yards on 11 attempts - 3.3 Y/A

I'm just really not comfortable handing this dude the starting spot.

Here is James against those same opponents
Ohio State - 115 yards on 23 attempts - 5.0 Y/A
Wisconsin - 121 yards on 25 attempts - 4.8 Y/A
Ohio State - 14 yards on 7 attempts - 2.0 Y/A
Idaho - 95 yards on 15 attempts - 6.3 Y/A
UCLA - 103 yards on 20 attempts - 5.2 Y/A
Michigan - 117 yards on 23 attempts - 5.1 Y/A
 
What's this about duck's head falling off?
 
Some guys that have been the DUDE and then transfers to another program struggle with the play book. I wouldn't count him out yet.

In case anyone was wondering how the Bama fanbase is handling their loss to Florida State...



STOMP
 


There's a whole conversation about how an entire generation of Bama fans grew up with Saban.

17 years is an insanely long time for a dynasty.

They're spoiled. Plain and simple. Spoiled as hell. But they also haven't come to grips with the new landscape of college football. Saban saw the writing on the wall. The portal and NIL was going to kill their grip on recruiting.
