When Oregon Kidnapped the Oregon State Homecoming Queen
Great article. Sounds like it was a good ruse by the "Letter of the O". However, they should have taken them to the Dexter Lake Club for a night of drinks and dancing.

The Ducks Have a Problem with Run Defense
It certainly will help if the Duck offense comes out and scores TDs on its first three drives like last season. It would take quite a while to look up; but, I'd imagine that isn't something Penn State gives up at home often to anyone either.

When Oregon Kidnapped the Oregon State Homecoming Queen
My FishDuck Friends, this story above is wonderful, and was written by Bob Prall at current age 89, recounting his time as an Oregon student. So many references to a time when things were a bit more pure, and a story that is just good fun. Do pass this one along to your Oregon State friends, as I'm sure they will enjoy it too. Charles

When Oregon Kidnapped the Oregon State Homecoming Queen
On a Monday morning in November of 1957, I, Bob Prall, was told, “Last night some Oregon State University Aggies used a chain saw to cut up our wooden “O” on Eugene’s Skinner’s Butte. They are going to burn it in their homecoming bonfire on Friday night.” I was an officer in the Order of the “O,” and was asked, ... When Oregon Kidnapped the Oregon State Homecoming Queen

The Ducks Have a Problem with Run Defense
I believe Penn State ran for 287 yards because they stacked 7 guys in the box and we countered with two down lineman ( two guys with their hand on the ground before the snap). A defensive lineman cannot "hold the line" while standing up. This was a topic I brought up in the Spring- Lupoi scheming right into an elite team's strength. I've been more concerned with the pass rush. Or lack thereof. Am I concerned Penn State will boat race OBD? Not one bit. Our defense has given up half their rush yards in the fourth quarter. Well after the game was decided. Montana State would give Northwestern a run for their money, and I believe they would defeat Oklahoma State. That doesn't mean our defense should be content. I don't believe there is a sense of urgency to dominate the teams OBD have played. There will be a much greater sense of urgency to play their absolute best when they go to Happy Valley. Then we'll know where they stand. I've already stated in not convinced we have an elite defense. But I do know we have one if the best offenses in CFB. This year is like the Alabama v. Clemson showdowns. Offense is going to wil the Natty this year.

The Ducks Have a Problem with Run Defense
As a Duck fan, I was pretty happy to escape the 2024 B1G Championship game with a "W" and no major injuries and at the time mostly looked forward to the playoffs rather than read a bunch of post game discussion. I recall some talk (including here on OBD) that was essentially "exactly how bad is this rush defense?" Penn State indeed ran for 297 yards on the Duck defense at 8.7 ypc. 10 of their 34 rushes went for 10+ yards, including rushes of 41, 32, 26, 24, and 22. That's with Harmon, Caldwell, Burch, Uiagalelei, Tuioti, Boettcher, and Washington in its front. That's against a Penn State offense that wasn't exactly hiding what it wanted to do. On the year, it was going to run one of their two RBs: Allen or Singleton (or run TE Warren); or, throw a pass to one of those 3, a fairly remarkable 64.5% of the time (581 out of their 901 running attempts or completed passes were to Warren, Allen, or Singleton). In the championship game, that hit 74.1%. Despite entering the 4th quarter down 14, PSU didn't exactly abandon the run, keeping a roughly 50/50 split. Does the defensive scheme look like it will approach PSU differently this year? Does the talent so far look much better with the Duck box defenders? PSU had more success moving Oregon's front with double teams last year than any other opponent, will that repeat itself? Does the staff appear less loath to commit more resources to the box if it needs to than in the past? Many questions.

The Ducks Have a Problem with Run Defense
This summarizes my curiosity as well, but with the added element of new-to-each-other players all over the field. It takes time to learn to trust and gel. You start anticipating how the guy next to handles that blocker, that pulling guard, or that QB read and you complement their move with a move of your own (all at game speed). I am slightly concerned, but you have to believe we’ve been running a pretty vanilla scheme knowing there has been no competitive threat so far. Penn St. forums on the other hand are wringing their hands that their offense has yet to get untracked. They’re worried about Drew Allar shouldering high expectations and the slow start to the running game. They long for that one time last year when they ran all over us. Let them think that.

Dark Knight vs Whiteout: Oregon vs Penn State
All great and interesting comments. With a win at the game's end, let them wear whatever. What are the Forum Fanatics attending the game wearing? Camouflage? It's 5000 of OBD vs. 101,000 of them, and I like the odds 😍. Allar's been Allar, and James been small ball James, since I don't know when. Meanwhile, bash the instigators of faux treachery, the cesspool of avarice, the charioteer of reverse hypocrisy, the receptacle of malice, the disseminator of hatred, the fabricator of lies, the artful backbiter notorious for deception, and Pelt the Beavers! Take No Prisoners! Salt the Corvallis Earth! Let the Civil War see no further birth.

I'd love to see them bring these bad boys out for a repeat performance. "Are You Not Entertained?" Part Deux! Thumbs down, the throng of 100,000 making an early exit. Rinse and repeat. White Out = Our Time to Shine Go Ducks!

The Ducks Have a Problem with Run Defense
My real point is I don’t know how valid season stats are 3 games in when all 3 games were blowouts. We built a commanding lead on the road and put in our walk on QB which enabled the opponents offensive starters to get some disproportionate rushing yards and attempts against our 2nd and 3rd string D. If PSU rushes for 200+ against our starters I’ll change my tune. All IMO of course.

I say we match the white out. Go with these jerseys but with white pants and the granite countertop helmets they’re wearing against Beavis (no gold wings, though).

Oregon Ducks - OSU Beavers Pre-Game Reports, Interviews, Etc.
The Oregon Ducks have been one of the hottest teams in the country to begin the season, sprinting out to a 3-0 start. The first two weeks of the season saw the Ducks post massive blowouts, but this last game against the Northwestern Wildcats was their toughest victory yet. The game had an extremely early start time, which seemed to affect Oregon as they showed a bit of sloppiness, leading to their smallest margin of victory this season. But that doesn’t matter to bettors as the team opens as -34.5-point favorites against the Oregon State Beavers according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Oregon Football: 2025’s Best Defender So Far
Defensively, we are solid. Approximately, 10 points allowed per game, even when accounting for late touchdowns when many starters are on the sidelines. Our defensive tackles should improve as the season plays out. Have to remember that they are big bodies, but they are still developing their in game skills working together. The linebackers will definitely benefit as they improve. I think Bryce embodies the term “special player.” How did he get overlooked coming out of high school for baseball, and football? He then worked his a$$ off to develop into a top player for both teams. Have to love a guy who bleeds yellow and green.
