Wow.

The #1 ranked passing offense played the #127 ranked passing defense. I was stunned (and dismayed) by the plethora of wide-open receivers Penix had to choose from. All Game Long… It is a glaring deficiency that must be alleviated if OBD want to play for the PAC 12 title.

Spot on. We applaud brilliancy when it works, but cry lunacy when it fails. Any loss hurts, but a loss to the purple curs is just worse. There were a lot of little things that took down OBD last night, and they were mostly self inflicted. It happens, sometimes the better team comes up short on the scoreboard. We still control our own Destiny. Win out, and OBD are Rose Bowl Champions, which is far better than the #4 seed that becomes cannon fodder for Georgia.

Rose bowl or bust. No Heisman for Bo.

Mighty Ducks 49, Worthless Wastrels 27. 3 turnovers 2 sacks 305 yards passing (600+ yards total Offense!) Tomorrow’s headline: Deadly Ducks Destroy Dastardly Dogs!

Charles, great article! Dishing on the dastardly dawgs is almost as much fun a learning about OBD! The men of mutt-ville are definitely “not champion material!”

Like the Yell-O colors, but don’t care for the short pants. They should at least cover the knees. Covering the knees with padding will prevent injuries without sacrificing much speed.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and trust that DL and his coaching staff probably have a better read in who is #2 and who is #3 than I (or we) will ever have. But then, I trusted Mari(no)o and his staff too, so what do I know?

Oregon 55-3 3 TO 4 Sacks 428 yards

Hail Mary out of the Victory formation!. I almost choked to death on my coffee! Thank you for a riotous start to my day!

In deference to FD Rule #31b, I have no further comment on this particular jersey color.

Great article Charles, thank you! I look forward to the off-season breakdowns by you and Coach Boles. They will definitely lighten up the long dark season of no football! My biggest concern is keeping Coach Dilly for the foreseeable future. While he is bringing back the Oregon brand, the man is making himself a hot property.

…And have been since the turn of the century! To the point that the cowardly LA schools jumped from the PAC to avoid playing (and being beaten by) OBD! Of course they claim it was for the $$ but that will end up a wash when they add in the travel costs for all the lowers revenue sports. Thank you David! Well played indeed!

USuCk: a speed bump on the road to Duck supremacy! If, and only if, they get past the Bruins.

What is going on with the Linebacking Corps? At the beginning of the season, I (mistakenly it appears) assumed that our linebackers were going to be a force to be reckoned with and be the leaders of the Duck D. Noah Sewell, DJ Johnson, Jeffrey Bassa, Jackson LaDuke, Keith Brown, and even Justin Flowe were all poised for breakout seasons, or so I thought. That has not happened. Any thoughts as to why? Is it coaching? Schemes? I realize these guys were Mari’s picks and not Dan’s, but NS, DJ J, JB, KB, and JF should be able to play for anyone. Why do you think our linebackers are not leading the D? You guys have way more football acumen than I, and I would be very interested to hear your take. Thank you.

I don’t see OBD falling into any trap this year for two reasons. #1, this coaching staff will not let them. #2, THESE DUCKS ARE UNSTOPPABLE! At least according to FOX! (although I tend to agree!)

that was totally awesome!. 3 for 3 in 4th down plays and 1 for 1 in onside kicks! When CK used to to this stuff, he earned the nickname BB Chip. Has DL earned the BB Dan yet?

FOX was right, THESE DUCKS ARE UNSTOPPABLE!

Oregon is Unstoppable! You heard it on FOX!

Middle 4 baby!

It don’t get no better than that! SSWWEEEEETT!!!

We keep giving up too many yards on first down

It’s your hotel. Try the bar!

OR, 42-35, 1, 2, 342. I hope JustDucky wins it! I want to watch THAT game!

I too, don’t take this as anything more than a coach telling the press that the players play the game and everything else is just outside noise. We also need to remember that DL is new here, and he really has yet to see the true power and intimidation that a charged up Autzen sellout crowd can bring to bear! Methinks his appreciation for such a phenomenon will be greatly increased by his post game remarks!
