Our offensive line needs to wake up a bit more here. Getting beat..

Maybe we are thinking of a different play but I saw 0 Jordon Davison, lined up as the fullback, carry the ball in a 3rd and short for a first down. Lamar has been the featured back with Whittingham out.

Considering how quick backup was coming. Staying with his man would have been the right choice. At least until the QB ran past the los

I wish purchase would have stayed with his man

Whittington traveled, but was listed as questionable in pre-game. This game is typical Big Ten football. B1G may put up big offense non-conference, but the slog begins in the conference. That first drive by Northwestern was like watching Iowa with short runs on consecutive plays and bleed the clock. Keep the game close. Hope for opponent mistakes. Win it in the fourth quarter. All these B1G teams will have physical lines on offense and defense.

The NW DBs are playing pretty well, and Moore not really sharp on his longer throws up to now. Sappington hits the FG while the announcers are pointing out that he missed several in practice wide left due to the wind. OBD 10-0. This has all the looks of a grinder.

7>3 Duckies ... ☕

Yeah I was wrong. Got my numbers confused. But... Harris did get a carry later.

Yeah. He was list as questionable.

Whittington hurt? Good thing we are loaded at RB...

Now Harris is doing his thing

Yes it was number “0”

Wasn’t it Jordan Davison who carried the ball for the 1st down? I don’t think Harris has played yet.

Yeah that's true too, but that shouldn't matter if that's their game plan, Oregon just needs to take care of Oregon and play their game... Just as soon as they wake up 😀

Give NW credit, they are blitzing just enough to disrupt the downfield passing game and then covering the outlet and screen reasonably well. More misdirection is the cure.

And northwestern players standing around..

Runningback rotation so far... Limar Harris (short yardage carry as a fullback) Hughes ... Hasn't carried yet but was on the field at the end of the first. Interesting...

It feels like I've only watched 2 minutes of football and 30 minutes of commercials...

Ducks looked sleepy... I think they are starting to wake up.

Looking better already.

Think the coffee has finally started to "kicking". Now let's see if the D is now fully awake

DBs doing their jobs even if the D-line is a bit slow to get going. I'm confident they will start to dominate.

Eh, I wasn't upset, I think it's extremely tough for a west coast team to play at 9:00, not surprised to see us start a little slow for our standards, even then it wasn't like Northwestern had an explosive play. Really nice drive after the int.

Pick by Boettcher! Beautiful misdirection by Stein and a pitch to Lamar for the TD. DUCKS 7-0

Everyone needs another cup of coffee.
