    WOW, No. 4 .... OK, the First Results are In and Which Do You Prefer, a Rose Bowl Bid, or College Playoff Berth?

    It's always out of our hands. Their is an East Coast bias. The rankings have 7 SEC teams, 6 Big10,  5 Big 12 and only 4 teams total from the whole West Coast (counting BYU as WC) Why isn't Utah or even UCLA ranked when there are teams at 5/3 Wisconsin and Miss St.

     

    I know the PAC eats itself every year

    I wonder if we played 8 instead of 9 league games would help. It sure seems like it would. I heard the new Commissioner say we were going to make that happen. Hope it's soon

    We should have never lost to Stanford.  That game was ours and if not for some COACHING decisions, we should have just won.  We gave Stanford the win by not trying to lose, poor calls and time outs.  Take responsibility for it Coach and move on.  Plan better and quit being your own WORST enemy.

     

    Let's me think about a couple reasons we could have lost but not blaming the coaches.

    We lost our best RB CJ. The one we had been protecting because when he got hurt in previous years we had no one to replace him that could run between the tackles. He goes down after we had come back to take the lead.

     

    We were driving the ball to kill the clock and possibly score again when we had a couple of penalties so we had to punt it back to them.

    Still they only had 1 min left to go 96 yards after being shut down the whole half. They only had a 4% chance to get the win.

     

    Then the" PAC's best " threw 3 questionable flags, the first one throwing out KD. The last 1 on the last play of the game with no time left.

    Our defense was exhausted and we lose on the road in OT. Go figure.

    I don't have a problem with the PAC as it is. It wouldn't matter if we expanded with the other schools because it still doesn't get rid of the East Coast bias and change time so the East would be able to watch us. 

    The reality is we still have the Rose Bowl and 5 other bowls to play in. I believe the West Coast can only have 1 to 2 teams with top recruiting classes. And besides the transfer portal may have made recruiting a little less important.

    Do none of u think the key injuries have affected this team as far as improved production in the offense. I look at the OSU game and then the loss of CMaC our best blocking TE, CJ Verdel our only power running back because of the loss of S Dollars, constant reshuffling of our offense line and what we already knew at the start of season that AB  provided us a proven game manager at best but better than sacrificing the season with a freshman.

     

    This is why I'm not disappointed and in fact especially happy. We are 6 and 1 and in the hunt for the playoff, the conference championship and the Rose Bowl. What is wrong with that?

     

    How can anyone be upset because things aren't pretty and it's not going the way WE think it should. WE are not with these players who are still kids on the field every day, like our coaches. They are the professionals, not us FANS.

    I sure hope all the turmoil and put downs of MC will not help him leave us. I know that if I put my heart and soul into something and get very little respect and appreciation for my hard work it sure didn't make me want to stay where I was working, no matter how much money I got paid. 

     

    This is the first time we have had enough depth to with-stand all the key injuries and still keep winning. That alone is the main reason everyone should get down on their knees and be so thankful and pray he doesn't leave.

     

    His recruiting is so top notch I doubt we will ever be in a better position than we are now.

    Let's List the POSITIVES from the Game!

    #1. Never give up attitude which is a reflection of the coaches

     #2. This is what recruiting does for you. Depth Depth Depth!!! 

    #3. D J Johnson is an animal as a blocking TE which we needed since we lost our best blocking TE C Mac. Webb and the 2 Frosh are hit and miss.

    #4 T Dye can finally block which is huge.

    #5 Does anyone know what the PAC's record is in nonconference record is? I do know we have the best win.

    It’s Okay to Be Disappointed With Mario Cristobal

     I for one am not upset with coach. I am a huge Chip K fan and haven't cared much for our team's offense since. Until now.

      I don't care how pretty it is, I want 1 thing. A team that plays hard, never gives up, overcomes obstacles and wins if it happens. I believe this is this team. If it means being conservative so be it. 

      It's so easy to be a Monday morning QB. We don't have enough information to make an informed opinion about what is going on no matter what we think we know. The coaches do. So let them coach.

      We have to remember these players are still kids. College is a lot different than HS. It takes time to adjust except for maybe 1% of the players.   We are a very young team compared to every other team out there, we have been hit with a huge amount of injuries especially in key areas and are making dumb mistakes at key times. A young team will do this, especially on the road. 

      I have watched the Ducks since the 60's and am very proud of them and will be in the future. Would any of you trade for any other team in the PAC?  I didn't think so.

        Go Ducks and MC. I hope we have a long time together.

     

    About Booing: Cristobal Lives in the River City….De-Nile

    I disagree with booing. There are a lot of factors that influence a downfield passing game. Ability to block by the offensive line  TE and RB, and stretch the field WR. 

    We lost our starting best blocking TE C MaC. They only let our best blocking and runner CJ play sparingly and we still lost him just like the last 2 yrs, at Stanford. And our best wideout D Will just played his first significant game of the yr. All of their replacements are freshman.

     

    We all knew AB was not an elite QB. And yet with all these obstacles we are the 3rd top scorer in the PAC, have only 4 TO on offense, and a 5/1 record. 

    I posit that given how many key injuries, youth and deficiencies this team has had to deal with are the reasons our offense has struggled as much as it's the fault of the coaches. Just my thoughts.

    Overlooked? Irrelevant? Germane?

    I believe that youth does play a part and has every year I've watched college FB. Mistakes like penalties, missed assignments, playing along side each other, leadership, etc. I think losing Cam McCormick was huge for the offense. He started against tOSU and our offense hasn't looked the same since.

    Also is it possible they peaked for the tOSU game seeing it was such a huge game.
