If my memory serves me, this was the first time we’ve run it this season. I’d have to go back and watch the other games to be sure. I’m also not in the camp that thinks WSU was just so fast that we couldn’t get a handle on the perimeter. A lot of our early red zone woes were poor blocking and penalties, not necessarily that they were too fast. The Ducks’ first touchdown was on the perimeter.

Clutching Victory from the Jaws of Defeat
Coach Eric Boles replied to Coach Eric Boles's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Oh you for sure don’t want to make a a habit of having to come back, but having the ability is a welcome sight. I also don’t imagine Oregon having the same number of mistakes again. Without the amount of those that we had, we’re not talking about a close game. And that’s to take nothing from WSU. -
I just want to say how impressed I am with the fight of this team, and them finding a way to win Saturday. It wasn’t always pretty, and at one time or another, just about every mistake you can think of was made. And WSU, hats off to them, threw just about every trick you can think of at the defense. It feels like opponents are going to have to be way ahead for the offense to not have the ability to catch up.

Canzano Thinks SOMETHING BIG is About to Happen...
Coach Eric Boles replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Yeah, I already have to use Sling to see anything on the Pac-12 Network and even then I have to have an add-on that brings the cost up to like $50 a month. So I’d like the Network at least to be on a service that I have anyway. It’ll be interesting to see how they do it though. And you’re right, that’s probably the future. I heard the stat of like 10 years until streaming is it. -
Canzano Thinks SOMETHING BIG is About to Happen...
Coach Eric Boles replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I think it has more to do with the home equipment, like the streaming device or Wi-Fi router. My picture and sound were good though. -
The Oregon Ducks Offense: The Bunch Toss
Coach Eric Boles replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I can only think of one time he got beat in the game too. Overall, the offensive line played pretty well. No sacks and no hurries is pretty impressive. Just have to finish those drives. -
The Oregon Ducks Offense: The Bunch Toss
Coach Eric Boles replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I’m right there with you. I honestly believe that had it been the second game of the season, the Ducks would have looked better. I won’t say they would have won, but I’m not convinced they would have looked as out of sorts. A game before Georgia would have gone a long way in working out some of the kinks of having new systems. Unfortunately, Georgia served as that game. -
Pac-12 Taking Tons of Applications to Join?
Coach Eric Boles replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I’m hearing that because the Big 12 is opening early negotiations themselves, there’s a mechanism that allows Texas and Oklahoma to leave for the SEC early. I wonder what that mechanism is and if it allows the same for the other teams. Could the Pac invite Big 12 teams now without the big buyouts? -
UNLV Offense Looking Sweet Under Arroyo

I’ll take that bet! Lol -
UNLV Offense Looking Sweet Under Arroyo
Coach Eric Boles replied to Coach Eric Boles's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I’m with you. UNLV is in the fastest growing sports city in the nation, and they’re an improving program. And I do believe that Phil Knight has looked into options in case the Pac doesn’t work out. But we’ve heard he’s reached out to the SEC too. One of the reasons that I personally feel like it won’t is ESPN. They do not want another premier program to fall to a conference that they don’t get anything out of and I think they’re going to work to make sure it doesn’t happen. Burke Magnus, President, Programming and Original Content for ESPN, said the deal they’re working on with the Pac has a mechanism for expansion too. -
UNLV Offense Looking Sweet Under Arroyo
Coach Eric Boles replied to Coach Eric Boles's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I’ll agree that it won’t be their biggest test, but beyond their opponent, you can see their improvement. -
Anyone see any of the UNLV game last night? That offense is looking sweet under the guidance of Marcus Arroyo.

Kenny Dillingham and the Explosive Down-G Concept
Coach Eric Boles replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
It can actually be run against a variety of fronts. For instance, another way it’s run is when the DE is wider than the TE. In that case the TE gets to the second level and the pulling guard kicks the end out. -
The person issue I have with going to the Big Ten, other than wanting the Pac-12 to survive, is the championship. I’m from the mid-west and love that the game is in Vegas. It allows me to make a vacation of it. Why the hell would I want to go to a title game in Indiana? Lol. On Canzano and Wilner's podcast today, they said that currently all of the memeber want to keep the Pac together, but the reps are doing preliminary work in case that becomes an impossibility. I also wonder if these rumblings will make ESPN give a better offer, not wanting to let another big program fall to a conference that they have no gain in.

Six Schools That the Pac-12 Should Consider Adding
Coach Eric Boles replied to NJDuck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I’ve said it before, but you have to lock Vegas up. -
USC Killed Previous PAC-12 Expansion Efforts
Coach Eric Boles replied to lownslowav8r's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I really like your idea of going bold. That’d really be something if they could pull that off. Either way, I would still go after SDSU and UNLV. SDSU because of the obvious southern Cali reach, and they’re an ascending program, and UNLV because I think you have to lock down all things Vegas. I’ll beat that horse to death. Quickly growing in the sports world and the Pac should lock it up with the former MGM exec as commissioner. -
USC Killed Previous PAC-12 Expansion Efforts
Coach Eric Boles replied to lownslowav8r's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I would rather the Pac 12 survive and expand with Oregon as the premiere program. The more I hear of USC actively trying to weaken the Pac while also looking to leave just because they have hurt feelings, makes me think it’d be a bigger badge staying than following them. GK has to have something cooking. Look at where he came from. The fastest growing sports city in the world. I’d have to think that his connections in Vegas help.
