What do you think: Is Bo improving his draft stock thus far?

Throws to the feet are hard to catch:(

It’s time to restore order in the universe and begin the next 12 year beat down. Go Ducks and Hook Em Horns!

I just saw the U.W. won the Moore award for the best O-Line in the country. How did this happen? I don’t recall them having stellar recruiting classes. How good is that coaching staff Debour has assembled, and why aren’t they being pilfered like our staff is every year? Thankfully we get them at Autzen next year! Go Ducks

Sort of like Chip Kelly when he came on the scene. Not a reach to think KD’s trajectory might be similar.

Quite the list of quality opponents for these deserving PAC teams: Arizona vs Oklahoma Oregon State vs Notre Dame Utah vs Northwestern USC vs Louisville Oregon vs Liberty

I’m thinking OSU and WSU fans are rejoicing at this bowl opponent. It be like: “Now you know what we feel like when our big games are against Fresno and Boise State.” On the upside, it does free up my New Years Day to do something more meaningful!

Wasn’t it JPJ who struck up the Heisman pose after Bo ran it in against the Rodents? Dude’s got some serious moxi. Gotta love how our bigs are playing!

In 2021 Dan Lanning’s Georgia defense gave up 41 points to Alabama (their first meeting of the season). When they met again for the national championship, with all the marbles on the table, Dan Lanning’s Georgia Defense gave up only 18 points in a 33 to 18 thumping. I expect a similar performance from DL’s crew this Friday. Go Ducks!

Although the #3 team is currently struggling to beat WSU at home.

Agreed. When people don’t like or agree with the simple interpretation of the facts (2 schools trying to steal $400 million that doesn’t belong to them) they resort to emotionally driven smokescreens and unrelated rationale. To quote one who speaks more rationally, “Stay on point and do not be so easily diverted.” And, a quote from my favorite shrink: “Reality is your friend” Dr Henry Cloud

Much as I would like to I absolutely cannot root for the Huskies. The way they woof after any success obliterates all other rationale.

You would think that TT would be psyched to get in with so much time to play. Let’s see.

What has stood out to me is how often I see Oregon linemen downfield bludgeoning the scrum forward. Not only are they moving the pile ahead for a few more yards, but they are inflicting obvious hurt on the defensive players, and they know it’s taking a toll. Impressive and a joy to watch!

Celebrate good times!

“Zero chance I would be coaching anywhere else. I’m taken care of very well.” DL Press Conference There you have it!

IF we were not one of the best teams in the country, and IF we were not loading up with elite talent, and IF Bo Nix were not the front runner to win the Heisman, and IF we were not heading to the BIG, I MIGHT be slightly concerned with the A&M rumors. As it is, not so much. Go Ducks-the next one matters most!

Does Donte Moore hit the portal in search of a better future?

The sloppiness was a head scratcher. Definitely did not see that coming based on what we did the last couple of weeks. Can we just chalk most of it up to kicking off at almost 8 o’clock? Probably not. The silver lining is it’s hard to imagine this team with that performance going into Tempe with an over inflated sense of confidence! Go ducks, make it work for you!

Things that go THUD: Pile-drivers Sledgehammers DL’s Studs in Black Lids Go Ducks-play to your standard!

2 kicks + one shanked extra point + one kickoff out of bounds = what?

As you say, it could happen! I calm my anxious thoughts by reminding myself that DL is our head coach, and he seems to like winning even more than we do! Go Ducks-play to YOUR standard,

Works for me.

Charles, thank you for perfectly diagramming what a novice (me) noticed in that opening drive! I was giddy with excitement for the rest of the game because of what transpired in the opening sequence. It seemed like Utah was waiting/hoping we’d transition from the pass weighted play calling (balanced!) towards the “win in the trenches” approach. We never did! This coaching staff does indeed bring much more to the table than that. And with the playmakers they’ve assembled and a 5th year quarterback completing almost 80% of his passes in total command of the offense, why would you go “phone booth”? Thank you Mr Fishduck for bringing me back to that opening drive giddiness! Go Ducks!

These are the “all business we are here to kick your…” uniforms. And if it snows the black helmets will provide a great visual focus for Nix’s check downs. Go Ducks!
