He needs to be #1 on the list in my opinion. He and Ingram should be 1 & 2, with Denard Robinson and Cam Newton trailing.

Denard Robinson absolutely needs to be a unanimous #1 pick to win the Heisman as of this moment. There is no debate otherwise, the guy is a force of nature on offense.

If he weren't accumulating his stats against Indiana, Bowling Green, Massachusetts, Notre Dame, and Uconn, I'd agree. He's going to have to actually play somebody before I declare him the best in the nation.

It's not even halfway through the season and the dude is starting to smash records.

Of course the Heisman is won at the end, but the guy appears to be the game's best true dual threat in a while.

With gimmicks and trickery like always.

They can't beat the best without making crazy calls that no legit team would ever make.

This makes about as much sense as the marching-in-a-line strategy of the British in the revolutionary war.

Retarded Duck fan that has no scope of college football outside of his own program? Where on earth did you find that?!

Actually, I wrote it. But, Bumi cherry picked the quote from a conversation and left out much of the reasoning I provided for my position.

Way to go, Bumi. Integrity!

You can post the rest of it if you'd like. Most all of it was stupid, from the idea that you'd hire Kiffin over Saban, to the notion that coaches shouldn't be measures by the number of titles they've won, right on to your insane insinuation that Kelly was a better coach than Saban based on "circumstances and outcomes".

Kevin Smith was about 30 yards shy of breaking Barry Sanders single season rushing records a few years back.

I'm really going to wait out and see what Denard does on the national stage against legit teams before I crown him the Heisman winner.

I was worried at the end of the 1st but that offense got us back into it in an awful hurry. And the Defense deserves all the credit in the world for shutting them completely down in the 2nd Half. Great win for UO. Washington State next week and then a bye. Just gotta stay focused and take this one week at a time.

Stanford is still a decent top 25 type team bit they haven't lost their last.

It seems Oregon is capable of exploding for a 4 or 5 TD half on anyone except perhaps Alabama.

Unfortunately for the ducks, after the way Ohio state looked (they needed a bit of help from the refs to get by Ron zook and Illinois yesterday) it appears Oregon and bama are on a collision course. Arizona is real good but Oregon matches up well and it's at Autzen. If Ryan Katz can get a handle of the passing game, the civil war in Corvallis might be the ducks only possible loss.

The Ducks undersized defense is worrisome. Doesn't seem to match up well with Bama's defense. Unless of course Darron Thomas continues to develop his arm.

I actually agree with you for the most part. The only 2 potential losses I see on the schedule are OSU and Arizona. With OSU being the scarier of the two matchups, but right now... I don't think it's a stretch to see Oregon running the table and going to an NC game.

Also, as much as I'm branded as a homer on here, I don't think we beat 'Bama on a neutral field in a hypothetical NC Game. Right now, the Ducks look like the second best team in America to me. 'Bama is just a friggin force to be reckoned with.

We're going to lose a game that we probably shouldn't. That's always how it goes in the Pac.

It looks like your remaining road games up until the Civil War are very winnable... Washington State, USC and Cal. None have been particularly impressive. Cal isn't winning a shootout. USC's defense has been thoroughly unimpressive, Kelly will probably smoke Monte.

I'd buy Arizona's chances if the game was in Tucson, but the Ducks are far better at home than on the road. Nick Foles is gonna have a tough day.

An extremely young Oregon State getting settled by the end of the season, playing the Civil War on the home turf is really the only thing in between the Ducks and a national title. If James Rodgers gets healthy and the o-line can figure out how to open some holes up for 'Quizz, that is going to be a hell of a game. I am pretty confident that Katz will have progressed into being a solid QB by seasons end. That's typically how OSU operates. I think Stephen Paea and co. will wreak havoc on the center of Oregon's o-line. Dude is the best d-tackle from Oregon or OSU since Haloti Ngata.

Thanks BeecherVol. I felt horrible for Tennessee on Saturday. Was actively rooting for them against LSU. Good luck against UGA.

I'm just glad it's supposed to be 66 and sunny on Saturday on Pullman. Wouldn't want anybody getting injured on that ridiculous turf that's like a block of concrete when it's cold out.

Everything in Pullman turns into a block of concrete once the cold weather hits. Playing on a frozen field is the least fun I've ever had playing football. I was counting down the minutes until half so I could get in the damn locker room.

We won't have to worry about cold weather in Glendale!

Kidding....




Maybe.
