It's also the holidays in there as well. Those are some massive distractions because they are distractions for everyone.

Two down ....Two to go!!!!!! Go get it Ducks!!!!!!!

If everyone knew before the game that Dante would throw for 234 yds, get sacked twice, throw a pick, get no TDs and Oregon would rush for well under 100 yds, would folks have predicted that win? Give TT credit for having a defense that was as advertised. One can quibble about overly aggressive 4th down attempts, specific play calls and not taking the dang points!!! All valid observations that will get examined at the doctor visit. But the defensive game plan and execution was otherworldly and that glass is a lot more than half full going into the semis.

TT’s scoring defense came in averaging just under 12 points per game. Ducks doubled that. Their scoring offense came in averaging over 44 points per game. Ducks blanked that. I could not ask for anything better.

It would be a good first step to get rid of the league championship games. For one, a team takes another loss possibly pushing them out of the playoff. And of course that weekend could be used as a bye week for the start of a 16 team format (or be used for first round games). The long layoff is ridiculous and isn’t fair to the higher seeded teams. I’d like to see games where each team is at their best.

Congratulations to the Ducks, especially the defenders, on the win against a worthy opponent. That said, I would like to see DL adjust to the game in his decision-making. Specifically, it seemed apparent at some point that Tech was going to have a very hard time scoring unless assisted by Oregon. The pick thrown by Dante nearly let them back into the game. Given that Tech statistically struggled to drive the length of the field through the season and was certainly struggling against the Ducks, it would have been better to punt the football.

Couple thoughts- Tech's quarterback looked like Moore in the Indiana game (due to our defense). That is probably the best Defense we will see all year, they were tough. Hard to throw vertically when there is that much pressure. We were sloppy on offense; fumbled hand offs, bad snaps, illegal procedure, etc. I cannot count the holding penalty's because they saved Moore from getting smacked. Can still improve which is a good sign.

I'd love to see Bama win and give us the Oregon/Bama matchup that some of us have been waiting to happen for 15 years!!

As to the 4th down decisions, I’d want to see the analytics, but each one felt like the right call to me. They just didn’t convert which isn’t necessarily an indication of whether the call was “correct”

If Oregon has to play Indiana, Dante needs to fix his happy feet or the result will be the same as the October game.

It's good to not to be Texas Tech fans right now. What a miserable offensive performance from their perspective. They lived on offense by short fields, deep passes down the sidelines and runs to the edges all season. We didn't give them any of those, and the 25 day break put them to sleep. The game was pretty much over after the strip takeaway. We increased our lead to 13 while injuring Morton's bicep on his throwing arm on the strip. TECH GOT WRECKED!

Previous Duck Defensive Shutouts... Pur-done, 35-0, with DG at the helm Portland State, 69-0, in 2010 Arizona, 49-0, in 1992... About time!

Bama can’t run the ball and Indiana has a top 3 defense. I’m expecting a score similar to the SEC Championship game.

No issue with the defense’s attack mentality. It’s knowing when and when not to adjust that approach on offense that troubles me.

I'm a little surprised TT out rushed the Ducks by 14 yds. 50 of those yds. on one play tho. Both teams did a good job of shutting down running plays. Dante Moore was the difference maker in this game, getting OBD in position to put points on the board. TT's offense had nothing. ,

Tech’s defense reminded me of Indiana’s defense . Fortunately, their offense reminded me of Oklahoma State’s offense.

Defense was lights out, Dante needs to keep his eyes downfield as he missed some pretty open reads for long yardage.

Indiana should win but after that Miami game I’m not sure of anything any more.

Oregon vs. Texas Tech instant recap: score from Ducks vs. Red Raiders It was far from pretty, but the Ducks got the job done and eliminated Texas Tech with one of the best defensive performances we've seen all season.

Indiana should dominate. I expect thier D-line to wreck Alabamas offense.

D coordinator seems just fine. O coordinator ... hmmm

Who knows? It may have been a much different game had Lanning taken that approach. Hard to argue with the edge the defense played with throughout the entire game. That came from somewhere. Perhaps it was a direct consequence of Lanning's approach. In DL we trust.

I am so impressed with this team, especially the defense. The offense will do better, the next team's defense won't be so stifling. They were very good. Texas Techs offense was sub par although that was probably due to the ducks. What a wonderful game.

Two takeaways for me, to win the next one more easily: Take the points Pass the ball vertically
