Will Oregon make the playoff? Explaining how win at Iowa combined with BYU loss has Ducks eying top 8Will Oregon make the playoff? Explaining how win at Iowa...The Ducks defeated the Hawkeyes 18-16 at Kinnick Stadium and saw a team ranked ahead of them lose in blowout fashion.

Sappington bails out some questionable Stein play calling.

My high school coach at Marshfield, Pete Susick told us back in the mid 1950’s: “When the officials are against us, we have to beat them too.” And we did! Attitude is everything.

Herbstreit was darn near perfect in his prediction on College Gameday. He even had the fact that one team would have 15 points. However, he picked the wrong team to win. Oregon is definitely now a B1G team with that offensive performance.

Let’s go Wisconsin!!!

The refs always had rain in their eyes when Iowa was holding, like on every other play.

"The Defense shouldn't be expected to carry this team." Very true. But, a really strong playoff team would have stopped Iowa on their last drive. Ducks made so many great plays on D, but totally missed out on turning the ball over on downs on that drive. I still think Oregon is a playoff team. But just barely a playoff team and not a favorite to win it all.

Washington is down by three. Wisconsin has almost tripled their B1G average of 5.5 ppg with 13 points. Indiana was a missed toe drag away from losing to a Penn State squad that has a backup QB, interim coach, and zero P4 wins. November is where the contenders win, and with the playoff system in place, you will still be in contention. Anybody who misses the old system where a writer could determine the champion, a computer would pick the two best participants, or a group of people would pick four teams based off some unknown list of qualities, has to see some positives in at least getting a shot right? If Oregon wins out, they become legendary in Eugene lore. Last year Ohio State fans went from thinking that was the worst season ever, to saying it was a legendary run. It's snowing in Madison now btw. Washington is driving down by three. Their playoff hopes are on the line. It's an important game because it has playoff implications. If Washington loses, the game against Oregon becomes just a spoiler. But if they win? That's a playoff game for both teams imo.

Jerry Mixon led team in tackles!!!

"Considering the weather conditions, I think Moore played a great game." He seems to be getting much better at escaping pressure and looking downfield for targets than he was earlier in the season.

The Defense shouldn't be expected to carry this team. Our Offensive firepower has simply failed to live up to expectations. This is not a formula for success. Something needs to change.

Yeah I saw it, there was a receiver like 10 yards away, but I was questioning it. I thought at the end of the drive you could have called it as well since there was no receiver in the endzone when he threw it out of the endzone. It really seemed like the refs had an agenda. I keep thinking how disappointed the ref looked when he announced the fumble that went to us. For that matter why did we have to call a timeout to get it reviewed? We literally did not receive one call the entire game, I don't think I'm forgetting something.

"How did Iowa not have one penalty other than the illegal kick?" And some of the calls on Oregon were really ticky tacky.

Considering the weather conditions, I think Moore played a great game. His two best receivers were not in uniform! He made crucial decisions to run the ball himself, and those decisions made the difference in the last TD. His passing on the winning field goal drive was as good as it gets.

The 1 thing I hope they get better at is... run defense. They are pretty good most plays, but still need to get better. No injuries for Oregon on the D line and linebackers (except 44 was out for a short time). DE/edge should be more dominant. Or maybe it was scheme? Could have put in another DT and taken out the nickel back? (Just for this game) Best part of the game was the last drive - just under 2 minutes to get in position for a game winning field goal. That part was solid. Since we are also talking about officiating: Did anyone else see a missed grounding call on Iowa late in the game? I don't think that ball made it to the line of scrimmage. But I could have been looking at the yard marker on the other side of the 50.

AMEN - Solid, Gut Check, Overcoming Dings, Road Victory! 8-1 - That was a difficult watch, but it turned out to be fun in the rain, not the sun. Will the Committee still have OBD ranked behind 1-loss BYU? 2-loss Vandy ahead of 2-loss SC? Kirk Ferentz in November vs top 10 teams, is now 5-2 😍. Herbie, clean up the Streit!

Question: How did Iowa not have one penalty other than the illegal kick? How is that possible in a game like this? Someone really has to look at these refs. If Iowa had 2 or even one penalty I could take it, but NONE!?

Heck of a game by the green and yellow team! Won in spite of playing against 11 in black and gold teamed up with 5 in black and white stripes. 5 penalties for 57 yards against OBD, 1 penalty for zero yards against Iowa? wth??? The snap in Their final TD was snapped at least a half second after the play clock ran out. They even showed it on replay, and the snap was unquestionably after the zero came up. A win is a win, but my blood pressure can’t keep taking this abuse!

Whittington was outstanding, all the RBs were amazing. Wish we would have let one of them run the ball instead of Moore on that second to last drive!

Whoa! Wisconsin leads Washington 13-10 at the end of three quarters? On the Big-10 Network...

If someone can please explain why we constantly see one or two Oregon defenders standing in no man's land and defending nobody I would be very happy.

Oregon Guts Out 18-16 Win Over No. 20 Iowa in Kinnick Moore and Oregon offense got the ball back with just under two minutes to go and three timeouts. Moore dropped a perfect pass in the bread basket for Benson, who hauled it in for 24 yards to help set up a 39-yard game-winning field goal from Sappington, who finished three-for-three on the day. Oregon escaped Kinnick Stadium with a 18-16 win to move to 8-1.

Hard to overlook Whitingtons play. Guy was a beast.
