While I agree that beating an undefeated southern cal team would be great, I seriously doubt they will be with their current defense.

Yep... suc's defense sucks for large portions of the game. They were extremely lucky to have beaten the mildcats. I like our chances against oregon state even though Reeser will be rocking and there will likely be rain of course.

Our defense is something special - they are disruptors through pressure and turnovers. I do believe Dante will be a quick learner and improve his timing and decision making.

This season should be a make it or break it for Chip as the BIG looms ahead. Go Bruins!

In the Army you have squads that make your platoon. Leading these enlistees you play to the strengths and weaknesses of each member of the squads/platoon. Same thing with business. You do not allow a new hire to interact with mammoths like Kroger or Costco. You allow them to be part of the team to oversee stuff and understand your relationships and business goals. Long story short it's all on Chip. Chip's job is to keep our wonderful 5 star quarterback out of harms way. Play to his strengths and the teams strengths. Do not put him in situations to fail. Play calling yesterday Chip put our young quarterback in situations to fail. Scenario example: 4 plays to score on the five yard line. Pass, pass, interception. Our run game was on fire. No idea what Chip was thinking. No way I can blame quarterback play. Just my opinion.

Seems to me that DTR had a similar bad habit of running backwards fir awhile. He was never blessed with a defense like this one. A win in Corvallis could really set this team on a roll. It’s a tough place to play, but we have the defensive chops to compete in a tough environment.
