I'd say it's way too early to say Franklin can't get it done at PSU.  He's taking over one of the thinnest rosters in football, sure they have some elite players but those guys are practicing against 2* 3* and walk-on players.

 

After 2 yrs we were all pretty happy with Brady Hoke, you can't say Franklin's first 2yrs will determine how successful he will be.  Anyone who can make Vandy a .500 SEC team obviously knows how to coach.

Dominique Reed apparently was conscious and talking and even moving a little bit as he was placed in the ambulance, so that's hopefully a good sign. Still going to the hospital with that neck injury, of course. Hopefully, he's up and about soon enough. That looked pretty bad as it happened, to be sure.

If Gary Patterson and TCU beat Oregon, then my respect for Patterson is eternal. It's pretty damn close to eternal already given his track record.

Ducks won't get the credit they deserve if they win this thing.  It'll be about TCU without they're QB.  Not the Ducks fault

Any MGoMusicFans, MGoDrumMajors, or MGoConductors out there? If so, do any of you  know if there is some sort of story behind the Oregon band's choice of music after a big play? Although I find it amusing, "Augie's Great Municipal Band" from Star Wars I (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAs7Wxvc1_o) is annoying and not music that I would EVER want my band playing! Thoughts? Please discuss and inform!

Never seen a blocked punt ending up being a 1st down anyway... 

 

Wow... TCU is unlucky as hell.

so they can be fresh for the 4th quarter."

Oregon is up by 28 points at the moment.

Edit an hour and a half later...Oregon has shown they have a critical position depth problem...up 31-28...
