USC receiver Robert Woods was the only unanimous first-team selection.

LMJ wasn’t unanimous first-team?

I can imagine a coach or two thinking Barkley is having a better year, especially if you go by the stats. One could have predicted that pre-season in fact due to the different offenses.

That wacky Nick Saban

Wasn’t Saban the one on his soapbox the year we were going to possibly get a Michigan/Ohio St. rematch in the BCS game about how a team that doesn’t win its conference shouldn’t be playing in the BCS championship game?

Well, now there’s this…no surprise really; it’s just hilarious.

This brings up an interesting question.

Would Kelly talk about the BCS if we got snubbed out of the championship?

A lot of me is actually glad to not be involved in the stress of who’s gonna play in the Natty this year, but part of me still wishes we would have beaten USC only to have Alabama get selected ahead of us (I just don’t want to play LSU again). I know Chip talks (and seems to live) as if they don’t worry about it. But if we had a strong case for a rematch in the mNCG and didn’t get the opportunity, I wonder if he would speak out then, after it was all said and done and the games had been played.

Darron Thomas

I know we’ve debated the kid for days now and I give myself a pat on the back for not getting sucked into the debate. But now I have an observation and a thought on the subject.

We see that DT is not even an honorable mention while Luck, Barkley, Foles, and Price were four QB’s who were at least honorable mentioned. Quite a contrast to last year DY being 2 and team. This in spite of his slightly better stats this year. I can ad that pre-season in Ted Miller’s top 25 run down, DT was 3rd best. I’ll guarantee you that DT won’t be 3rd best in Miller’s top 25 post season list.

I am not gonna debate if DT is better than Foles or Barkley or Price here. I do want to note the alternative universe of NFL prospects where DT since the preseason has been behind Luck and Barkley and Foles at least and maybe Price and Osweiller (I’ve seen some love for the guy on NFL draft sites).

So what I am seeing is a merging of these two ways of ranking the QB’s with the NFL draft prospect lists being the dominant list. You can debate weather this should be happening or not but the fact is, well, it is.

by ursula on Nov 29, 2011 7:43 AM PST reply actions  

I would think DT, assuming improvements over the offseason

can be a darkhorse Heisman candidate next year. Easy schedule + Loaded talent at the skill positions.

by skyo12 on Nov 29, 2011 8:24 AM PST up reply actions  

So can DAT

Assuming that he’ll be an every-down player next year, he should be able to rack up some gaudy yardage and TD numbers.

by k_dubious on Nov 29, 2011 8:39 AM PST up reply actions  

If DAT is in the running, it's more in the Desmond Howard role.

Des won because he was really good in several roles: WR, slot receiver, returns, occasionally taking sweeps and reverses. DAT will get more touches, but it’s going to be all over the field rather than as “running back” or “receiver.”

Ducks GOOOOD. Fuskies BAAAAAD.

by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Nov 29, 2011 10:43 AM PST up reply actions  

I'd love to have DAT as an every down WR next year. He is our leading WR already while only playing limited snaps

Add in those reverses and occasional motions into a straddle triple option and the like, plus the KR/PR duties. The old adage “jack of all trades, master of none” may apply if he doesn’t settle into a role. He’ll want one too if he intends to go to the NFL in a couple years.

by OregonNYC on Nov 29, 2011 11:08 AM PST up reply actions  

I do see a benefit in that.

BUT is think he is dangerous from anywhere on the field to the point where “jack of all trades, master of none” doesn’t really apply. If he’s going to have success on Sundays, it’s going to be from a multi-threat role.

I think he only was at times when the runningback corps was very depleted.

Between LMJ being beat up at the end of last season, and Kenjon almost dying, we really needed another athlete to play all over the place.

by CaDuck on Nov 29, 2011 11:56 AM PST up reply actions  

TZR is also not an every down position though

I don’t think he can get 5-8 catches/game and 5-10 rushes as a TZR and he needs it.

by OregonNYC on Nov 29, 2011 12:05 PM PST up reply actions  

Yes, he will. He’s still behind LMJ and Kenjon for running the ball. That will open up a lot more next season with LMJ gone. There’s only so many touches to go around.

by ConfofChamps on Nov 29, 2011 6:35 PM PST up reply actions  

Ultimately what DT's rankings compared to the Pac-12 are don't matter

How Luck, Barkley, Foles and Price do is outside of DT’s control. Comparing DT to that group means you’re comparing him to two NFL top 10 picks, another potentiaal high first rounder and someone who had a great first season. And DT simply didn’t put up the numbers Price did because, well, he didn’t have to.

I don’t think this is a knock on DT’s skill. It’s the fact that this year wasn’t as productive as last year from a numbers perspective because we ran the ball even better this year and that the competition in the conference was pretty insane. Take DT out of the Pac-12 and put him in most other conferences and he’d rank pretty high as well.

No, he’s not as good as Luck or Barkley. But that doesn’t make him bad or even mediocre.

The next coach will benefit from the work Wulff has put in

They won 1 game 2 years ago, 2 last year and 4 this year. With full lot of scholarships available, and new facilities in the works, there is much to build upon the foundation he laid. Bad call IMO, but i appreciate both side of the argument. For me, as long as our moving forward, and he has, there is 1 year left on his contract that your going to have to pay out in full, might as well give him the one more year.

But 1 and 2 and 4 wins are all really crappy

improving while still sucking isn’t going to work for most BCS programs. WSU has had success in living memory, they aren’t Vandy or Duke where no one cares. Maybe Wulff could have gotten 5 or 6 next year in a weak PAC12, but averaging 2 wins/year isn’t going to cut if.

And if he don’t go bowling next year, you just don’t renew his contract. Doesn’t cost you 600K, no harm no foul. I agree 4 wins is crappy, but its still twice as good as 2. Did anyone expect them to from 2 wins to 8 in one season?

I think what might have done him in is that they probably should had 6 or 7 wins this year and coug’d it in winnable games (SDSU, UCLA, Utah). I think if he wins 6 games, he gets another year, at least.

I agree, they lost some games they coulda/shoulda won. They also lost their starting QB early for most of the season which set them back. I get the expectations, and like I said earlier that I can appreciated both sides of the discussion. I just wonder if expectation were too high. There is no denying that they are improved over last year. They won twice as many games and were more competitive in their losses.

I think if he wins 6 games, its a given he stays. Hell, up until the blowout at the hands of USC, The Weasel was looking like he had saved his job at UCLA after what looked to be a 6-6 finish and that is at a school 1 year out of a top 10 recruiting class, a coach the pay twice as much as Wulff in a market way more competitive where there are real expectations of winning football games. Not that WSU wont get there eventually, but its a lot harder to start at nothing and build something in Pullman than it is in LA.

It's not ripe for the picking

cause that assumes (in my mind) equality and uncertainty at the top, of which there will be none. Oregon returns too many experienced, talented players next year to not start the season as the heavy favorite. For Ducks, the Pac looks as open as it did this year; for everyone else, there’s a big hurdle standing in there way of winning the championship.

I think USC will be in the race next year regardless of defections. If Barkley/Kalil come back they’ll likely be tabbed as the favorite, but without them it should still be at least a two-team race. They’re the only team that really scares me next year, either way.

The other team that causes some worry imo is Cal @ Cal. Beyond that, it does look absolutely ripe for the picking.

The thing I keep realizing when I think "yeah but the sanctions..."

is, like you mentioned, the effect’s going to be delayed. It might even be a few years. Considering that they had such a huge class this last year – even the best of them are here for two more years, the rest three. It’s going to be a while before holes start opening that they won’t be able to fill. Next year, the impact would be on the true freshman class, which will likely have no impact on the number and quality of players they put on the field during games. Then, two years from now, the impacted classes will be true freshmen, redshirt freshmen, and true sophomores – which will take a bite out of their depth chart, but likely not a huge one. That they produce so many 3-and-out kids should make the impact felt sooner, but looking forward I’m thinking it might be 2014 before the sanctions really and truly start to hobble USC.

Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.

they were able to sign a massive class last year, and many of their current starters are young anyways.

I think Rich Rod has the best situation starting next year with Matt Scott who can be a dual threat QB, but Wulff is definitely not leaving the cupboards bare at WSU and depending on who they get could be competitive as well.

Regardless of his inability to recruit a quality quarterback in recent years, Tedford is pretty safe. He broke the record for most wins by a Cal football coach (75) in September of this year and has a winning record (7-4) in the Big Game.

Plus, with Luck gone next year, their chances of winning increase substantially (though we all know Zach “TEH DURPUR” Maynard will find a way to screw it up).

Riley is going through a rough spot, but he’s safe for at least another 2-3 years.

I think people have oversensitive expectations that EVERY team in the Pac-12 has to contend or we’re doomed. The simple truth is that it can’t and won’t happen that way. I feel the Pac-12 is unfairly viewed in this respect when arguably there are 3 teams that have a legitimat shot to beat anyone in the nation. USC is sanctioned so thy’re over looked, Oregon can’t win the big game so they’re over looked, Stanford is #4 in the nation but they didn’t win their one game so they’re no good.

I do sort of agree that the Pac will have less personality next season.

Some of that could change, however, if coaches like Mike Leach make their way out west.

We lose a person who says incredibly stupid things to the public media (Neuheisel), someone who is always blowing up on the sidelines (Stoops), and someone who never really gives a f**k, and lets his players just sort of go rogue (Erickson).

Last season the Pac lost a very likeable yet hard-nosed coach in Harbaugh, and Stanford replaced him with a robot that has no personality (judging by the lack of emotion in the Oregon loss).

 Rich Rodgriguez doesnt have much personality, but he at least tends to run fun teams to watch offensively (which is much more Pac-12 of him than Big-10).

Shaw – Ultra boring

Kiffin – Definitely has a personality that is quite frankly fun to dislike as an opposing fan

Wittingham – Seems pretty normal

Embree – He seems to express a healthy amount of emotion and enthusiasm on the sideline.

That’s not true. I don’t agree with what OkSt. is doing. I think senior day is senior day. They put in the four or five years. LMJ (or Blackmon’s) reward is coming with a paycheck in the NFL.

Yeah, you could make the argument that LMJ has been there four years and is graduating, and I get that. But I think that’s a slippery slope. Why honor him and not any other RS Jrs?

Blackmon plays at a place that has produced many great stars and NFL players, at a school which has had many great teams.

LMJ is one of the greatest players ever to put on the Oregon uniform, he’s been a driving force behind Oregon’s shot from relevancy to top-tier program over the last 3-4 years, and he’s played through an injury that would shut down most of the other running backs around. I think its a damn shame we didn’t get to give him the ovation he deserves, and I hope when we’re up by 40 in the 4th quarter, CK gets him the curtain call (assuming the place is full).

LMJ is an academic Sr and did put in 4 years

he is a Rs Jr. I think the reason he wont come out with the Srs is that is the same as announcing he wont come back next year, which coaches and players don’t like to do

by OregonNYC on Nov 29, 2011 4:15 PM PST up reply actions  

And that’s the thing. I love LMJ. He deserves all the praise in the world. But how do you decide these kinds of things?

What are the chances he leaves? 99%, right? But what happens when that 1% comes true and he comes back? What about the other RS Jrs who leave but weren’t honored by the team? This is a team sport. If you’re going to honor a certain group, you need to stick with that group, otherwise you risk alienating people with favoritism.

I think the fans should give LMJ a standing ovation. I don’t think you need a ceremony to do this.

How do you know he’s leaving? You can only say with a degree of certainty. What about guys who think, “Man, I’m probably leaving, and it would be really nice to be honored, so I’ll say I’m leaving just to get out on the field.” It really is a slippery slope. So don’t even mess with it.

Seniors are seniors. If you’re not going to be back next year because you’ve exhausted your four years of eligibility, you get a day. Everyone else, either wait until your turn or have fun in the NFL.

Leaving the surely-to-be-benzduck’d portion of that comment aside, since I’m positive I can’t answer it intelligently, who cares? It’s a team sport. You honor the seniors because you know they won’t be back, and they’ve given four years of service (actually playing the games) to the team.

LMJ doesn’t meet that criteria. Clap for him, cheer him, give him an ovation, chant his name from the rafters, do ALL of those things. But don’t include him in a special ceremony meant for the seniors.
