according to your body temperature.<\/em> For more than two decades, Oregon’s performed in more wardrobe combinations than Elton John.<\/p>\nSo, yeah, the idea of Ducks football coach Dan Lanning pointing fingers at Deion Sanders and CU for choosing sizzle over steak is pretty rich.<\/p>\n
But you do you, young man.<\/p>\n
“(We’re) rooted in substance, not flash … the Cinderella story is over,” Lanning told his guys, with the cameras rolling before the game in \u2014 ironically \u2014 the most click-worthy story of a painful 42-6 Buffs flop.<\/p>\n
“They’re fighting for clicks, we’re fighting for wins. There’s a difference. This game ain’t gonna be played in Hollywood. It’s gonna be played on the grass.”<\/p>\n
Yes, the Buffs got their collective grasses kicked.<\/p>\n
CU was also the only program at Autzen Stadium on Saturday to have won a national title at least once over the last four decades. Although, hey \u2014 why let details get in the way of a viral sound bite, Danny Boy?<\/p>\n
“I don’t say stuff just to say it for a click,” Sanders said after the game, sensing a chance to twist the knife. “Contrary to what somebody said. I keep receipts.”<\/p>\n
And the Buffs, no matter what anybody says, are still playing with house money. After four games, CU is halfway to bowl eligibility. A year after 1-11. Vegas is already preparing to take a bath after setting the preseason over-under on victories at 3.5.<\/p>\n
Lanning’s first college head coaching job is at Oregon, which is the Pac-12 equivalent being born on third base and telling everybody you just hit a triple.<\/p>\n
Or the Big Ten equivalent. Or the chartreuse equivalent. Whatever.<\/p>\n
If Lanning wins six games in Eugene, they’ll run him out of town on a rail with a Nike swoosh etched into the side.<\/p>\n
If Sanders wins six games with CU this year — and he should and could \u2014 he’ll be Pac-12 Coach of the Year.<\/p>\n
Lordy, that drives Lanning nuts.<\/p>\n
It drives them all nuts.<\/p>\n
Grass kicking?<\/p>\n
Completely.<\/p>\n
Fraudorado?<\/em><\/p>\nCome on.<\/p>\n
Only if you drank so much gold-and-black Kool-Aid that you bet the mortgage on Coach Prime reaching the College Football Playoffs in Year 1.<\/p>\n
Oregon-CU reminded us that no overnight sensation, even a Deion Sanders one, is without growing pains.<\/p>\n
The Buffs have elite Pac-12 speed on the edges on both sides of the ball and one of the 10 most talented players in college football in Travis Hunter. They’re also toting a MAC-level offensive line. And a defensive line more in on par with the cream of the AAC.<\/p>\n
Lanning inherited a team that’s Pac-12 everywhere, especially<\/em> up front, and went a combined 32-9 in its previous three non-pandemic seasons. The Buffs were 10-26.<\/p>\nCoach Prime won everything Saturday but the game. The Oregon Duck led the team onto the field in a giant white cowboy hat and cartoonishly huge shades, a telling nod to you-know-who. That quacked me up, won’t lie.<\/p>\n
Lanning kept it up with his pregame “they’re fighting for clicks” speech. Then he doubled down at halftime on ABC, when, with a 35-0 lead in his back pocket, declared that, “we’re not done yet. We’re not satisfied. I hope all those people watching (the Buffs) every week are watching this week.”<\/p>\n
Yo, Dan?<\/p>\n
Fraudorado wasn’t the team shooting for two in the first quarter, just because.<\/p>\n
Fraudorado wasn’t the one going for it on fourth-and-5 in the third quarter while up 42.<\/p>\n
“One thing that I could say, honestly and candidly is, you better get me right now,” Sanders said after the game. “This is the worst we’re gonna be.”<\/p>\n
With that, Coach Prime smiled. Knowingly. Some receipts you keep a little closer to the heart.<\/p>\n
