Agree that Carrington probably doesn't deserve a lot of hate from the fanbase but booing a guy who was here and left is different then booing a kid who is from here but chose to play somewhere else.

You can see them working to bring some semblance of sanity back to things but it is going to take time. Things changed so dramatically, so quickly, with no guardrails in place. Correction will happen but it will be a slow and frustrating process.

Losing always sucks, especially in games that were winnable but it's sports, someone has to win and someone has to lose. It is clear what Niko is trying to build. Have caught some brutal luck on the injury front this year but the players/coaches are battling and doing better then a team with a...

I think there is zero doubt that there will be players that try to retroactively get credit for a reshirt year if they didn't take one (no clue if there is anything built in for that). I am sure Pavia is trying to figure out a way he can use this to get a 15th year of eligibility.

Agree on hoping it doesn't click for him next year. It is always crazy with WR when you see guys like Coleman and Wright who have all the physical tools but for one reason or another it just doesn't work out for them. Happens across all positions but is especially common at the WR position.

Not sure we can afford the kind of players that would be a slam dunk to push us into that higher tier. As for offense taking another step - Returning starters on o-line is always a good thing as those guys tend to get better with time. Big off season for Drake as well now that he has a season...

Obviously nothing would really be shocking with how backwards everything is but I think scenarios like those would be very rare.

Could definitely see that happen although I think the majority of players will end up using their redshirt year as true freshman because even some of the best true freshman aren't always ready to go in the first few games. If the 5 year thing was a no go this seems like a decent compromise...

I think you are fine but will defer to the experts in this thread to answer that :)

Fun game and crazy end of game sequence. Blackwell has some ridiculous range. Sucks that Carrington having the game of his life was key in the loss but a hard fought battle against a good team. Wish we had just a little more usable depth but it is what it is at this point and the 7 we do have...

Transfer rankings are a lot easier to trust then high school recruit rankings but there is still a ton of guesswork involved.

You are not wrong but we do have quite a bit coming back on offense as well. 4 of the 5 starters along the O-Line (at the end of the year) are back. And there are a number of guys in the system. Given the lack of O-Line transfers they may feel pretty good about what is in house with another...

Yep, really tough to live up to the expectations for a guy like him. He did as a freshman, fell short of it as a sophomore. Plus that Cal game is tough to forget about where he had an absolute disaster of a game. Change of scenery might be a good thing for him but sucks to see him go as well.

Even with the expanded playoff field there is still a fairly limited number of teams that are true contenders on a year to year basis and it has been that way for a long time in college football. Oregon is and has been one of those teams.

Agree that it would be really interesting to know but I doubt there is any coach in the country that would be that transparent about all of this. It would be fascinating to see what all is going on behind the scenes because I have little to no doubt it is way more complicated then we realize...
