This game was exactly what we needed. Better competition from what seems to be a well coached team. We took a 34-0 lead while not playing our very best. Mistakes at the end give the coaches material to coach hard with. We probably anointed the offensive and defensive lines a bit early I need more and more of Moore and Moore

OBD - TCB in CHI 😍

Donte insured the win for us IMHO. Most Surprised By: The lack of push from our offensive line. With guys like Sadiq and DM bringing the blocks no matter the circumstances, you would think the 6'5" 330lb road graders could shove someone smaller and weaker off the ball simply because they want to. Not sure what to make of that showing today.

"Kenny Wheaton's gonna pour! Kenny Wheaton's gonna pour!" What a well written ad!

"66 players participated. I think 74 traveled" In addition to the 6 RBs with touches, I believe Whittington was on the sideline.

Most recent travel estimate: 2:40 pm PT wheels up in Chicago 6:40 wheels down in Eugene The Beavers are still in a weather delay in Lubbock which will mean a later arrival back in Oregon than they planned. Next game for them isn't at home, but down the road about 43 miles.

Hughes? The box score has him with 1 carry for 5 yds. If I counted correctly, 66 players participated. I think 74 traveled. 5-96 Hill 11-39 Limar 3-25 Harris 4-8 Davison 1-5 Hughes 2-1 Riggs 2-5 D. Moore 1-2 Moga

No. 4 Oregon Ducks vs. Northwestern Wildcats Highlights This Team Can Make a Run': Oregon Makes Statement in Win Over Northwestern

seems like the early start with pregame downpour had more effect on OBD than i thought it might.

Effort overall looked sleepy and lackadaisical...especially in the trenches. It gave me vibes of the Texas Tech game a couple years ago where the OL/DL struggled to take control of the LOS consistently.

Instant Reactions from Oregon Football's Big Ten opening win at Northwestern The No. 4-ranked Oregon Ducks traveled east to Chicago to take on the Northwestern Wildcats in an early morning contest. Here are our instant reactions from Saturday morning's game.

Dante Moore recaps Oregon win at Northwestern

What in the Bill Musgrave are you talking about?

No penalties! Team plays with discipline. They’re not likely to beat themselves. Watching Penn State and they have great speed plus play very fast.

Hughes?

Kirby can’t be happy. Heupel loves his new QB, Aguilar is thankiing the football gods and Nico is cursing them.

As an aside, does anybody else absolutely love watching Georgia Tech and its QB Haynes King? I love watching this team play, probably the team I'm most rooting for outside of Oregon right now. Just love the toughness they exude.

It was 34-0 in the 3rd and they took their foot off the gas. It goes to show how talented the team is to play that badly yet still be in control. I’ll take the W over an upset loss any day.

Agree that Moore was pulled a little too early. Whole team looked pretty meh all game. Props to the Wild Cats who seemed much more fired up. I think the Ducks showed up with a just take care of business mentality and it showed. Lanning will have plenty of things to see on film to work on. I’m hoping both lines getting pushed around was more meh than signs of trouble.

166 yds of NW’s 313 came on NW’s last two drives In the last 11:27 of the game: 9 plays 75 yds, 3 plays 91 yds With a 34-14 final, Ducks do not cover the spread. Would have at 34-7,

My take away is we won by 20 in a dead environment with a 9am start against a B1G roster and didn’t seem to have any injuries. Every year we’re going to have a few workman like games and some of OBD fans will analyze it…a lot. In my rearview mirror personally.

Sleepy start ... Moore took a while to warm up. Even his pitch to Limar on the touchdown was a bit off target Limar caught it around his head. Ducks got rolling in the middle. Lanning and company took their foot off the gas too early. The 79 yard touchdown was a gut punch to an otherwise solid game. Pulling Moore after his interception instead of putting him back in to rack up another touchdown for the team felt too early. The Ducks should have had their foot on the gas for one more series before pulling the starters. I also get that Lanning doesn't care so much about the final score as he is preserving his players for a LONG playoff schedule but with so many new faces I couldn't help but feel Dante Moore could have just used another series on the road.

Good to see the "marker in time" for the rise of Oregon Football get a lil retroactive NIL for his place in our collective memories. 👍 Even if it be only unlimited supply of HOPS Valley pale ale. Lol. 🍻

Overall I would give us a C, we only out gained Northwestern by about 60 yards, which is not a top 5 performance. Line play was very average. You can tell Lanning is PISSED at the performance, we didn't play even close to our potential. We have to bow up on the line, we will get demolished against PSU if we play like that in the trenches, it was kind of pathetic at times how much they getting pushed around. We were opportunistic, caused some turnovers which was good to see, but it should be a major wake up call that B1G football is going to be a lot tougher than beating up on a BAD Okie St. team. Secondary can improve, LBs were okay, just need more consistency. RBs were decent, WR the same, not a lot to digest there I think. I thought Dante was very good until that last throw, I really don't understand pulling him after that play, I don't get it, I especially don't get putting a 4th string QB in for a series, Moga should be getting those reps.
