Oh well... at least we're not Penn Srate.

I’m not worried. As crazy as it sounds, I don’t think we’ll turn into Penn State. The reason? Dan Lanning. Will he take OBD to the playoffs this season? I don’t know, but he won’t allow us to suck.

You cannot win a game when you lose both LOS. The Indiana pass rush and an undersized CB named Ponds showed up. Matayo et al? How was Cignetti in the CFB coaching weeds before he was in his 60s? His turnaround of the losingest team in CFB history puts Bill Snyder on the bench. Indy is now 1-46 on the road vs. top 5 teams. 2-74 all time. Last season's champ lost two regular-season games, and a Natty is still in sight. But, as the Good Doctor notes above, don't lose twice, don't screw up at Rutgers. How badly does Penn State SUCK? How can a team with that talent keep on choking? Jim Knowles? $3M a year? One B1G coach has hiring DCs down Pat(ricia.) And it's not Jimmy Franklin. It's the guy TOSU fans wanted to run out of Columbus last November. OBD's FG kicker missed what could have been a momentum-shifter FG at Penn State, and his chip shot miss today led to a 6-point end of the first half swing. In physical, smashmouth ball games, you can't miss these pressure kicks. As for the dings at Dante above. It's hard to complete passes when folks, smaller than your O-line guys, but quicker, are in your face. When your 'better athletes' cannot separate from lesser athletes downfield, including a 5'9" CB who left no Ponds for Ducks to land in. When the play calling is timid all day, along with puzzling player personnel decisions, well? But returning to sentence one above, you lose the LOS, you lose. OBD was outcoached. Lesser athletes won the day. Don't turn today into bad Knights.

Excuse this post.

A disappointing loss to say the least, but now the team (and the fans) know where we stand. It's a young team, and regardless of how much Dan Lanning will say that it starts with him, the coaches, and the "poor" game planning, the reality is, we just got out worked. I think in hindsight, the signs were there during the Northwestern and PSU games, but it's easy to overlook them when we win. This team is very, very young, and in the era of NIL and Covid-carryover years, team age, maturity, and experience seems to matter quite a lot more than the number of stars next to the players' names.

BIG SHOUT-OUT TO NJDUCK FOR FILLING THIS THREAD. Oregon Duck fans react to loss to Indiana Hoosiers at home

Great #@$#@& pick 😡 Just kidding. 😁 Good on you, brother.

I don’t like that I won, but there was too much bad karma on social media. Everybody was talking about how Indiana has never beaten a top 10 team.

Are we 7 - 1 now having beat Penn St. x's 3? Or does UCLA get their 3rd win?

Oregon's lack of fundamentals prove costly in loss to Indiana, giving Ducks coach Dan Lanning plenty to fix Oregon has significant room for improvement after it was exposed by Indiana at home on Saturday

FYI, his prediction was Indiana 27-24 TO’s - 0 sacks - 1 Passing Yards - 207 (off by 20). Great job by him. Having a Kool-Aid allergy helps.

Observations The O line is not championship caliber. Coach Cig had his team better prepared than Lanning did and I’d say coached better during the game as well. Didn’t see a plan B from Will Stein when the passing game got bottled up. OBD may end up 11-1 or 10-2 maybe be a playoff team but that seems like the ceiling this year.

There's no denying it now: Indiana might just be best team in college football

Going to have to go to the doctor, I hope he is well versed in ICU medicine.

DrJacksPlaidPants. I groan not because he won, but because he was the only one who picked Indiana, and against Our Beloved Ducks, and was correct. Good on him, and congrats. Thanks to all for being a part of this contest every week, and for being a part of this unique community. As for Our Beloved Ducks?

I appreciate the "calm under pressure" thing with Moore, but I'd like to see a little fire in the eyes sometimes, too.

We’re on to Rutgers. If that’s a close game then we know what kind of team this is. It’s not a bad thing. This team is young. Just don’t turn into Penn State. They have already quit on their coach (unlike Ohio State from last season).

It feels as if the Ducks have regressed some, on both sides of the ball, since the second half of the Penn State game.

Indiana did a great job with pressure. OL was a concern and I don't this kind of game was outside the realm of possibility. First time I've noticed some flashes of UCLA from Dante. 41 yards of offense before garbage time in the second half? Seems like he was feeling pressure at the snap and well, looked a bit panicked. Gun shy yes, but worse. In the game thread I joked I blame Chip. Maybe I've gotten a bit spoiled with Nix and Gabriel? Got the pick 6 playing at home with momentum yet the game never shifted. I would have liked to have stuck with Davison at RB. Good thing Ohio State showed us a loss here doesn't mean too much. The OL though. It's a veteran group (and should be trending the other way).

It's hard enough to get beat, but it is even harder when we are out-hit and at our own house. Very depressing. (And I crawled out of a COVID hospital bed for this.)

They need to be ATHLETIC not just heavy.--Make them run 100 laps around Hayward field?

Obviously with Penn State losing to Northwestern, the Ducks hadn't played a top 20 team this year, looks like we're a little overrated. When was the last time the Ducks offense had scored 13 points in a game. Our defense did well, our offensive line got beat and obviously Moore was gun shy trying to get rid of the ball as soon as he could.
