    Are you sure? I thought they said it was good.

    Edit: I guess you're right. I went back and watched it. Apparently Beard missed a 35 yarder.

    Bennett is disappointing.

    easy now... he is playing with all backups. Not saying he would be better than Mariota was, but life would be a lot easier for him with DAT and Barner, and all other starters taking pressure off him

    Why is Ark still playing their starters? Kind of stupid.

    Our starters playing all of 20 minutes... Chip's system might hurt his recruiting chances in a few years when players have trouble getting awards and draft position because they only play 20 minutes a game.

    It's the first game and their figuring out their system, and they got ahead by so much they want their backups to get playing time.

    Mariota is so gonna win a Heisman within 3 years, AND a Natty.

    After watching Bennit play the second half it seemed like he was always looking for the big play instead of the next first down.

    Bennett had no weapons and was basically running out the clock.

    The 1st quarter and a half was awesome, the rest of the game was just lame. I don't remember the Ducks ever pulling everyone like that. They used to just step on people's necks and never take their foot off the gas. That is what I loved about Chip.

    Who wants to see their team play 1.5 out of 4 quarters? We could have won 100-10!!

    I didn't even watch the second half. I guess Chip didn't want to chance an injury.

    Chip said the second half was training footage for the second and third string players..... You know you have bad ass team when you're using full halfs for video room discussion with part of your team that wont see the field probably more than 2 times more the whole year..... Let's keep in mind that Arkansas State was a 10 win team that went to a bowl game last year......

    I was a bit disappointed our scrubs didn't play better. But then again, they were playing way off the ball...

    You want scary... add Thomas to the 2nd/3rd stringer lineup and they're probably a 9-10-win team.

    Those point spreads still count in the rankings right? Isn't College Football going to a playoff system this year? Top 4 teams in a playoff series?

    Not till next year.... that said i think strength of schedule may count for far more so the Ducks may need to schedule Texas or a Georgia type of school in a hurry because next year we only play USC if they make it to the Pac-12 championship and we'll be loaded next year as well!
