FBC Week 8 thread: What the Buck (Belue)

Absolutely. And may I add:

If you want to meet girls besides the farmer's daughter, go to Iowa.

 

Massive SEC fanboi here, but you're totally right. This year is not the right year to be rolling with SEC RULEZ ALL arguments. The top teams in the conference (Auburn, LSU, Bama) are all flawed (No D, no offense, short attention span), and an entire division is garbage. Who in the East beats Oklahoma? Vandy?

 

Fixed.

 

Listen bitches, don't talk about me when I'm not around to defend myself. ;D

 

That's about where I am. Auburn's defense will make LSU's offense look better than it really is. LSU's defense will slow Auburn down some. But this is still a 10-point game.

 

Oregon going with the "Fightin' Hi-liters" look tonight.

 

Love the yellow jerseys.

I am very excited about even the possibility of an Oklahoma v Oregon title game.

would be an incredible pace.

 

I don't think a 1-loss OU team will make the title game.

[/MIZ...]

 

Oregon just set a school record for most points scored through nine games... and they've only played seven.

 

At some point, UCLA will hire a quality football coach and become relevant again. For now, it's embarrassing how bad a program with so many advantages has become.

Seriously, you're within 20 miles of the greatest collection of high school quarterbacks in the country and you sign Kevin Prince and the joker who played tonight?

 

Oregon plays Missouri's offense, and seems to do it substantially better. Then again, UCLA seems to be the Pac-10's equivalent of Colorado.

 

Sorry, but the only similarity between Oregon and Mizzou's offense is that the snaps come out of the shotgun... and they're both no-huddle.

The Quackers run an ultra-hurry up. Mizzou really doesn't. The Oregon QB is about two yards closer to the line of scrimmage. Oregon's run plays don't take eons -- and I do mean eons -- to develop, like Mizzou's do. This is the first Oregon game I've seen, but it seems they aren't nearly as reliant on the screen game as the Tigers are. And, as we saw, Oregon's offense is much more effective from the 5-yard line and in.

Point taken about UCLA. But nobody, with the exception of Wyoming, runs an offense that looks like Mizzou's. The run Oregon is on does remind me some of the 07 and 08 teams, at the height of their powers. It just remains to be seen if they can maintain that pace over the course of a season, like Mizzou couldn't.,
