    My heart will be rooting for OBD, but my brain says they're just not at the same level... yet. Chipper will rejoice as he silences the loudest place on the planet. (I know once a Duck always a Duck, but I don't think Chip was ever a Duck. Imho.... Harsh?)

    ESPN Computer Picks Ohio State to Beat Oregon

    Posted · Edited by Krsmqn

    While I’m eager for Oregon to win, the offense hasn’t yet demonstrated the consistency needed to compete at the level required to beat a team like the Buckeyes.

     

    I’ll be cheering for Oregon with every ounce of my yellow and green spirit, but I’m also bracing for what could be our first—and perhaps only—loss of the season.

     

    That said, if the Ducks can replicate their defensive performance from the Spartans game or improve upon it, and the offense makes significant strides in blocking, explosive plays, and execution in the passing game, I believe it could be a highly competitive match up.

     

    As always, Go Ducks!!

    Oregon Fans Reappraise Expectations, or NOT?

    My expectations have been revised to the point of re-introducing "bowl eligibility" to my vocabulary.  They are a third of the way there.  Anything more is gravy.  BTW this game seemed like a compilation of "you just can't make this stuff up!".     James fumbling out of bounds,  Whittington dropping the ball before the end zone, Sappington hitting the goal post on a PAT, and so on.  Animal House and John Belushi "live";  Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?   GO DUCKS!

    Lol, The war with the Germans was in the 60's in NE Russia, silly. Great reference!

    Expectations are inversely proportion to the pucker fact.

     

    I just hope we will be one of the logs in that jam behind Ohio St. and dare I say it, "that team down south".

     

    Stein and company now need to start game planning for a porous Oline.

     

    One of the things that bothered me was Dan's/Will's play calling late in the 3rd when we were behind the sticks deep in our territory and they run 3 in a row Mari style.

     

    Those two missed bombs are glaring.  Dillion has to have better touch and anticipate the separation.

     

     

     

     

    It’s clear that those missed opportunities stand out, and it’s true that Gabriel needs to refine his touch on deep throws. However, there’s likely more at play here. It’s possible that Gabriel was overly conscious of avoiding a sack, which affected his timing and anticipation. When a quarterback is concerned about the pressure, it can disrupt their rhythm and make it harder to deliver the ball with precision. Improving his ability to trust the protection and anticipate separation earlier will be key to hitting those deep passes more consistently. There's definitely room for growth, but his awareness in the pocket should also be factored in.

    You’ve done a great job capturing the mixed emotions that come with watching a team that shows both potential and areas for concern. It’s understandable to feel a mix of happiness from the win and frustration from the mistakes that could have cost the game. The offense made strides but still has room to grow, especially with those fumbles cutting promising drives short. There’s clearly talent on the field, but they haven’t quite hit their full stride yet.
     

    On the defensive side, it’s tough to see a group that should be more dominant give up that many points, especially to a team they were expected to handle more easily. Still, there’s time for them to gel and develop into a more cohesive unit, and you’re right that recruiting and depth in the trenches often separate the top teams from the rest.
     

    As for where fans go from here, it’s easy to lower expectations or feel guarded after seeing some vulnerabilities. But this could be the time for fans to really show up and back the team, knowing that they’ll need to fight for every win. The season’s far from over, and with the talent they have, there’s still plenty of room for growth and success.

    One day at a time. Let's Go Ducks!

    "We have done more then Oregon in the last ten years and i just was hoping for a little buzz that is all."

     

    Is this really accurate? How many conference championships does each have  in the last decade? I know both have had a NCG appearance. How many Rose Bowl wins? How many bowl wins period? .... I dunno if I agree with that mutt.
