Good job, Nate. I am not sure what the solution is. I guess the issue only affects a few playoff teams per year, so they will probably stick with it. And I am happy with getting rid of the Spring Portal.

I know Dan wants the season to end around Jan 1st, but I can't see them starting the season any earlier. However, I guess eliminating a non-conference game and getting rid of the bye week could make it work.

Not necessarily just playoff teams. Guys are going to have to hopefully give an indication on whether they plan to go pro or they're going to hang their teams out to dry. I'm not even sure if Novosad is the guy for Oregon if Dante leaves, but if they aren't sure if Dante is staying they won't be able to go to the portal to replace him if he decides to leave in the Spring. I don't think Luke Moga is ready to start. Someone did bring up that grad transfers aren't held to this short window though, so that could open up some possibilities.

It will be interesting to see out Akili Jr progresses. He certainly has the size and has a rocket for an arm. But as we know, there is a lot more to it than that.

And he has had ZERO snaps this year, which is weird.

Yeah, he has to be better than the walk-on who has gotten snaps. The only thing I can think of is they want to re-shirt him, and if both Moore and Novostad get hurt after week 8, then he can step in and not waste his redshirt. I realize that is a stretch, but it's the only thing I can think of unless he just doesn't know the playbook at all.

Brock Thomas is definitely one of the biggest enigmas so far in 2025.
