It will be another evening practice today so we’ll talk to DeShaun Foster before 7 p.m.

UCLA has offered a slew of Inglewood HS players since Saturday. After offers to 2027 teammates Elija Harmon and Jailen Hill, the Bruins offered 2025 three-star DE Lucien Holland on Monday night.

He’s been committed to Boise State since June.

The Pula brothers committed to UCLA today. Both will play in the NFL in the not too distant future. Congrats to Foster and his team for a get pickup!

Against Penn State. That’s more than LSU and Oregon. Unreal

A look across the conference here:

Just saw the visitor list moments ago and it’s a loaded one.

Below I’ll sort them into the commits and the rest by recruiting class.

There has to be a game where fans can point to and say...We're definitely headed in the right direction.

They all can't be like the Hawaii game.... looking at the remaining schedule there has to be schools that are worse than us. It would suck if we ended up in the cellar

Just finished going through the numbers:

The Good: Attendance was 43,051, a good showing despite being a late night game…plus a huge group of HS recruits. Our defense held the high powered Oregon defense to 6 points in the second half. That Addison interception for a TD was a thing of beauty. Harden showed some improvement, averaging 4.1 yards.

The Bad: Garbers is hurt. It remains to be seen how much he’ll play against Penn State. He still remains ineffective without a TD. He was 12 of 20 for 118 yards. UCLA had only 47 rushing yards and 172 total yards and was 1 for 10 in third down conversions. Our lack of an oline is embarrassing and UCLA lost Unije to injury.

The Ugly: Everything…the playcalling, the lack of talent, the coaching and lack of execution, the costly penalties.

For me, if there was a bright spot it is that it was not a rout. I imagined a worse loss and that Dillon Gabriel was going to have a 500 yard game . It’s a credit to the defense that they never gave up despite being overmatched.

you could hear crickets. No..." We're going to kick those Ducks to the third row of the Rose Bowl" banter or "Poor me...the sky is falling" except me of course.

It's so quiet here...you could hear a pin drop.

WAKE UP...KICKOFF IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS!!

And the breakdown of the game:

Making this now as I get ready to handle some errands.

Here’s my five things to look for:

I don't have high hopes for a win so I would rather focus on progress. If we can get 400+ yards of total offense, no turnovers and keep the game close through the 4th quarter that would be a positive step.

during the football season. Most notably Bear Alexander from suc is sitting out the season in preparation of entering the transfer portal and preserving his eligibility. I believe that Washington has a player that also is doing the same.

Apparently, Alexander is upset with his playing time against Michigan and felt that he should be the cornerstone of the defense and he's not

to join the conference. Why not add San Jose State or Nevada or Gonzaga??

A look at some other names here:

Checked in with our Oregon site for a closer look at the Ducks, how they bounced back from their own slow start to the season, and more:

Garbers did and so did a couple of our receivers.
But our offensive and defensive lines are being overwhelmed.
LSU was able to do whatever it wanted offensively. Our punter put them in poor field positions twice but it didn’t matter cause they were able to put together a couple of 90-yard drives.
In all 3 games we have had problems putting pressure on quarterbacks. Is it schemes, lack of size or lack of talent? I suspect it’s a little of each.
Offensively our running game is non existent because our O line is poor at run blocking. Also weak on protecting Garbers.
Almost all of our problems can be traced to our offensive and defensive lines. Both lines also lack depth.
We just need to do a better job of recruiting and developing our trench guys. Gonna take a few years.

Things now underway out at Wasserman

Sounds like we’re talking to transfers Skyy Clark and Tyler Bilodeau this morning before we get Mick Cronin.

Today’s practice got pushed back last-minute, deciding just before 7 a.m. that it would now start just before 12:30 p.m.

Naturally, I was already well on the freeway and now have time to get a head start on some Oregon research to kill the time, I guess.
