Yeah, everyone on the twittersphere (and thereby the Facebook sphere) thought he was gone. Nope! Just one of his trick plays. haha.

@steveospeak Hope you’re getting pumped for the Senior Bowl!!! Now that the Chip Kelly rollercoaster has come back down to Earth, I’m feeling pretty good.

I feel good about him – great even. I think he has the potential to be one of our great QBs. The question is whether he’s ready right now. Even without LaMike, we have the best running backs we’ll see for a LONG time right now (De’Anthony Thomas is insane) and every other position is solid. If Bennett can step up, we will be amazing. The pressure is on, but at the same time, the expectations will be lower so he can surprise. By the way, a week ago Duck Nation was upset that we have such an easy non-conference schedule. That easy start is looking pretty good now…great way to condition Bennett.

Darron Thomas to the NFL – what is he thinking?! And what do people feel about it outside of Duck Nation? So far I’ve only heard one or two positive responses. I don’t think he’s NFL ready, but the buzz is that maybe he was never going to be NFL ready, so the going is as good now as it will ever be. Truth? And Bryan Bennett…you’re up!
Wow…that is surprising! Steve will have to add him to his big board.
Guess he went out on a great note with Rose Bowl win!
How do you feel about Bryan Bennett?I feel good about him – great even. I think he has the potential to be one of our great QBs. The question is whether he’s ready right now.

While i think the move was surprising for Thomas, and I don’t see him taken before the 6th round, I guess he felt that Bennett might start taking playing time. I really like Bennett and think they won’t miss much this season.

Super Darth Vader. Sometimes I hate justifying why we get so much money for uniforms, but those looked good…

Glad they were good games! It was a breath of fresh air to see Oregon playing loose, having fun, and looking like they were at home. They seemed excited and energized – something I haven’t seen in a long time in the bowl season. Let’s remember that for next time! I do wish Stanford could [...]

Thanks! I love the uniforms. I was going to say ”the new uniforms” but we seem to have new ones every game.

Thanks. I had a feeling we’d win about a week ago. Was not wrong. Earlier today I predicted we’d win by 7. All good things.

Saw it about an hour ago. I was a little sad but not surprised. Running backs have to go when they get the opportunity. We’ll miss him and watch him in the NFL!

Scratch that. I just remembered Arizona State is playing Boise State. They will get crushed. I am now hoping for a 4-3 record!

Yeah, even a four team playoff is better than this! Then we get to see a mix of conferences playing for the top spot rather than just assuming the SEC is dominant because people ”feel” that way.

I agree. I think a playoff system is the best option, although it couldn’t be a long playoff series due to the fact that the giving a college kid another 3 opportunities to get banged up would be problematic. One of the commentators last night suggested a +1 playoff system where #1 goes against #4, #2 against #3 and the winners play for the BCS. That isn’t bad. Maybe something modified from that to include 8 teams.

Totally agreed! Yes, some games are going to be lopsided just because of way bowl games are set. Baylor vs. Washington being one of them!
This is why College Football needs PLAYOFFS!! Would be so much more fair for schools and entertaining for fans!!

I didn’t think about that (having a college kid play another 3-4 games). That makes sense. I think atleast an 8 team playoff would be the best though!! Here’s hoping!

I don’t buy that excuse of a college kid playing 3-4 more games. 1. FCS, Division II and Division III schools all do playoff systems and it has worked for years. 2. this is during the most school breaks so it isn’t as though they are taking the kids away from school.
Yeah i was shocked Tech got in after getting killed by Clemson
Scratch that. I just remembered Arizona State is playing Boise State. They will get crushed. I am now hoping for a 4-3 record!
yeah i def. don’t see Arizona State winning that game

Thanks! It should be a good game and an interesting one. Completely different styles of play…kind of reminds me of the Rose Bowl two years ago, only let’s hope there are different results for us! I think we can win if we just remember what we’ve learned and take it to them like we took it to Stanford (which also claims to play smashmouth defense).

thanks! yeah the Senior Bowl week has been a little crazy so far, but a great experience. That Kelly rollacoaster must have been tough. He made the smart move for right now, but hopefully this doesn’t worry too many recruits.
