Oregon underwhelming for 6 quarters now.
This from CBS Sports

The Ducks allowed 10 total sacks during the previous two seasons, but through the first two games of the 2024 campaign, they've allowed seven. Oregon lost star center Jackson Powers-Johnson to the NFL Draft, and the early struggles can be chalked up to a new-look unit that is already dealing with injuries and depth issues, particularly at center.

... and NIU.  I recall a few seasons where NIU was pretty decent.  They got paid $1.4 mil to beat their hosts.

Florida also won, worth noting.

NIU had a pretty damn good run for a while.

Combination of some pretty good coaching hires, and some somewhat favorable conditions at the school.

Didn't WMU play Wisconsin tough last week?
I think it would be fair to say that Wisconsin just might not be very good.

#20 Arizona is losing to their in-state FCS opponent in the second half.

Last weekend I was throwing fits all first half about Arizona’s defense giving up a ton of yards to New Mexico. This time it's the offense I'm screaming at, down 10-6 at halftime to NAU.

The Wildcats defense did their job though, holding NAU to under 200 total yards of offense, and shutting out the Lumberjacks in the 2nd half while the offense put together a few decent drives to win 22-10.

The concerning thing is that what was supposed to be a strong OL was consistently overwhelmed all night by NAU’s pass rush which consisted of NAU moving their outside LB next to the DEs to bring 6 men to the LoS. That killed Arizona’s pass blocking all night.

Meanwhile, up in Tempe…

Oregon tied with 39 sec left. What's happened. I am at asu-miss state game  and missing this

Arizona State looked like a brand new program in Coach Kenny Dillingham’s 2nd year, building a 27-3 lead against Mississippi St. The Bulldogs mounted a comeback after ASU stalled out several drives but behind RB Cam Skattebo who rushed for 265 yds, the Sun Devils held on and are now 2-0.

Flipping between these two games, Tempe sure looked sweltering. 🥵

Next week is going to be very painful and ugly.

Blech I hate having only 8 conference games.  Next 2 weeks the Horns are playing UTSA and ULM.

My goal is to schedule at least 10 P4 opponents each year.  That leaves two pastries, and NIU.

It was comfortable at the start of the game because there was a nice breeze.  The breeze stopped and humidity went up and it was quite hot.  Kept thinking about leaving early because of ASU dominating, but stayed along with about half the crowd and watch Miss State make a game of it

Having grown up in FL and lived in AZ for 15 years, I set the equivalency between the 2 at about 15 degrees.
85 in the muggy southeast = about 100 in the desert

But yes, when it's humid in the desert, that changes.  However, 'humid in the desert' usually means like 30% humidity, not 90% like in the SE.

Basically, as long as ASU plays evening games, it's fine for teams from the southeast.

We're in the "feels like" 110 zone yesterday and today.

We still sit outside, but not in the sun. The pool comes in handy, of course.

Some relief will come tomorrow or Tuesday.

Been here for 11 years.  As long as it is below 110 it is generally bearable.  I will say that when I officiated Friday night, my uniform was probably the wettest it had ever been.  Usually I wait to wash the uniform until Saturday, but I got home and immediately put it in the washing machine.  Probably the worse Friday night as far as combo of heat and humidity since moving here.  I had great hope earlier in the week, played golf, barely over 90 and a nice breeze, was a great day.
And yes, I will take 110 at 10% humidity over 85 with 85% humidity any day of the week.  I was in Ohio in July and was quite miserable with the humidity.
