I think there is an old school approach to consider about also providing the students a chance to travel to different places too. It's not like we're playing in Cheney and if you only go to big schools, you only end up seeing the same places in conference.

Think about an ooc game against a mid tier Florida school right now and how the coaches would spin it for recruiting, especially since classes don't start until we're typically into conference play. Oregon would practice at a local high school for the week to get ready for the "humidity" for "player safety."

It is a little risky scheduling a game where we visit a team like Wyoming. But it's kinda fun playing against a lesser team and a unique environment. I wouldn't get in the habit of doing it, but I'd say this time it worked out well for Oregon.

I wouldn't mind seeing Willy put Scott Frost back in his place again.
