Alamo Bowl: #14 Oregon v #16 Oklahoma (Dec. 29 5:15 PM ESPN)

Even if TT had played in 4 games, bowl games don’t count towards your limit anymore. So his RS is fine.

I'm actually all for just starting AB unless it gets out of control one way or another. No sense in trotting TT or Butter out there with almost zero game experience to get destroyed by the Oklahoma defense. I don't see that as a positive learning experience. The year is basically over. Lets get one or the other of them the entire offseason with the 1's and roll with it next year. Its HIGHLY unlikely we beat Georgia next year but 0-1 isn't the death sentence it was in the BCS.

There's nothing to gain by trotting AB out there. There's nothing to lose by playing multiple young QB's.

OU's pass defense is 108th in the country. Combine that with the complete disarray that their team is in and it seems like the perfect opportunity to get the young QB's meaningful reps in a meaningless game. Absolutely nothing to gain by playing AB.

^^^This! Common sense...

I haven't heard of that exemption to the rule.

I look forward to a new secondary coach. I feel like our secondary underperformed this year.

I feel like we're going to get slaughtered in this game because the coaching staff will have basically phoned in a game plan.

I think the other coaching staff will be doing the same thing. It should be renamed "The Contractual Obligation To Collect My Bonus" Bowl. Maybe just The Apathy Bowl for short.

Oklahaoma will be in the same boat, this is honestly going to be a garbage bowl game, might look similar to the game at Washington this year.

A garbage bowl game that we will never hear the end of if we lose, ala the trash TCU game that I spent the second half full-on laughing at because it felt like I was watching America's Best Home Videos.

According to Mullens, every coach except Mario will be coaching in the Alamo Bowl, including Mirabal.

Collecting bowl bonuses and getting paid while recruiting for new schools. Cool.

I was sick to my stomach for Doug Brenner getting hit with the yips so bad. A good guy from a great Duck family, having that happen on National TV. It wasn't the game that hurt as bad as watching that happen to him on such a big stage. The parental empathy thingee hit me hard.
