Winner of OBD Prediction Contest Astounds Me...
Solar replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Dude nailed it! His prediction was right above mine and I scoffed at an over 60 score, but he was was dead on. Tip of the hat to you sir! -
Oregon beat Colorado 42-6 and the next week Colorado took USC to overtime. USC lost to Utah and the next week we beat Utah 35-6. USC beat Cal by 1 point (thanks to Cal giving the ball away 4 times) and the next week we beat Cal 63-19. The shocking thing I saw against UW is how drained Caleb looked at the end of the game. This will be their 8th game since their bye week. They don't have depth and are worn down. Looking at the size and lack of strength of the USC players gives me Oregon Ducks 2016 vibes. This game will be a blowout. A 14 point spread is the easiest money you'll get all year.

They stated Johnson had 199 yards rushing BEFORE CONTACT (256 total) with a few minutes left to go. That has to be some kind of record.

What's with the Cal OC wearing an apple green Cal shirt? Why would you do that in Autzen? I keep thinking Oregon has a Conor Stallions on Cal's sideline.
-
He clipped him first, bad kind of effort. Know when you're beat.
-
He got pushed backwards, then somebody landed on his body right when his head was hitting the turf. There is a possibility his neck was in tension at the moment of impact making it very possible to shear the vertebrae against the spinal cord. Cal looks like they just want to go home, and I don't blame them. Time to put in the backups and turn it into a scrimmage.

Vicious freak hits to the head with the whiplash contact to the ground from friendly fire. Sucks to see. I hope he will be okay, and they are just being cautious with him getting knocked out. Edit: Not looking good at all. This isn't precaution. He crying but not moving anything, and they were moving so slow with everything, even the cart. I REALLY hope I'm wrong.

Nice block in the back to keep Bassa from making the tackle. Really hard to see by the refs given positioning.

Games of Interest Chat Thread (Second)
Solar replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Iowa beat NW 10-7. Ferentz and Riley are like a Left and Right Twix. Ferentz could care less about having an offense and Riley could care less about having a defense. Maybe USC can figure out a way to make Ferentz co-head coach with Riley to be the ultimate juggernaut. Completely silo each side of the ball. -
This is why you always wear white shoes...it worked for Braylon Addison against ASU.

PAC12 knucklehead can't even get Tez' story right, geez.
-
Since the PAC12 sold half it's cameras it was a miracle the refs overturned the spot from that poor shot.
-
I'd honestly be fine if we did the Jonathan Smith special and not throw the ball the rest of the game.
-
That was on JPJ's early snap, Tez was just in motion.
-
Camden kicking a field goal at 53 yards is a lower probability than us making 9 yards. Super conservative.
-
We only need to pass often enough to keep the D from loading the box. 5 yards a carry is the floor for us.
-
You have got to be kidding me. Cal has no business being in this ballgame, but we keep beating ourselves.
-
As expected, Cal's whole Defense and their OL are not competitive with us.
-
I know are trying to keep the field spread, but I don't think Cal's D can stop our run straight ahead.

Oregon 52-23 3 5 310

I agree the biggest threat to our playoff hopes is Bama. Everyone keeps talking about LSU getting in as the first two loss team, but not over a one loss PAC12 team they won't. But a 1 loss Bama SEC champ, vs a 1 loss PAC12 championship? Scary. Of course Georgia taking care of business in the SEC Championship game solves that problem.
-
For that Cal game I remember there was a blown call by the ref on a critical play that kept us from losing. I remember being stunned. I do believe we need to dominate every team from here on out to ensure we make the cut over 1 loss B1G and SEC teams down the stretch, so certainly hope we hit the spread. I don't expect us to hit it though. Best we can hope for us a WSU type game where they get a lot of yards, but not a lot of points. And we definitely need to not let the rain throw off our game plan and home field advantage.
-
We are playing Cal, so I'm fine with us wearing bland business suits. Our Unis need to be fire against USC though.

Holy Crap. Stein Blames Himself for Washington Loss
Solar replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
It's important for leaders to take pride in their accomplishments, but not have pride in their self worth. That second kind of pride is the biggest obstacle to success of a team. It requires blinding yourself to you own deficiencies, which keeps you from improving, or correcting course.
