30Duck

It really is the perfect play. The NFL, specifically, the Eagles, have fallen in love with the "Tush Push" where Hurtz lines up under center and just plows through the line. It has been stopped though. This Fade Pass is practically guaranteed to at least get a PI, and more often a touchdown.

That was some "aggressive" though completely ineffective defense by the Bruins. Once a Duck, but no longer, Addison, was very pleased with taking his Pick-6, he even held on to the ball.

Oregon moves up 2, to No,6, Miami drops 1, to 8, where Oregon was last week. I'd take No,17 Clemson -6.5 over Miami at Hard Rock.

Perception does matter. As I looked at the title of this article, my mind went to, "wish the Ducks had dominated UCLA like Ohio State did to Michigan State, then I saw that the score of that game was 38-7. So, Michigan State didn't score off a pick-6, but they did score a touchdown on Ohio State's defense, in the 1st half, the Buckeyes pitched a shutout the last 30 minutes. Maybe the offense is still playing vanilla, waiting for the Buckeyes to really open up. Not exactly the "Eye of the Tiger" mentality, but the Ducks offense, already slimmed down, did take it easy in the second half? It's not playing down to your opponent, but teams do exert effort commensurate to the resistance. I agree with a thought I saw earlier, no need to rush Ferguson back for Michigan State. I expect the Ducks to be at full energy as they say, "hi" to Coach Smith.

Actually, Desert Duck, you are absolutely right!

I'm afraid that forever & ever, 3rd & long will be exactly where an Oregon opponent will want to be. That situation did get better as the game went along, and I agree with HTBAD that the D was the MVP of the night, allowing only one touchdown, and the other Bruins 6 was assisted by a true slipup between Holden and Gabriel. & Johnson. Great to hear, Alex that the Ducks are embracing their role as a title contender, vital to get wins on the road.

It was. Started out great, and UCLA's offense only scored 1 touchdown, but that pick-6 really seemed to deflate the Ducks. They were clearly better than UCLA, but the second half they seemed to be going through the motions. Not a lot of penalties, created some turnovers, but the Ducks should have buried the Bruins, They should have done what Ohio State did to Michigan State on the road. Michigan State comes to Autzen next week, well see how satisfying that one is.

I understand what you're saying. But, in my more than 50 years of loathing the Huskies, the 12 year winning streak is the best part of it. They knew Oregon was better than they were. The dominance Washington has built up has disintegrated. I used to have the numbers, but Oregon has been the better of the two, for a long time. I like that dominance. I don't want to go win for win with them, another decade long winning streak would be fine

I didn't, clearly I inspired Geogia. They should remain above Miami in the Polls.

Georgia could end up making the score look respectable, which would be an illusion David Copperfield would envy.

That's usually not too many, hopefully they'll be inspired.

GameDay going to be at Miami @ Cal next week, first time ever for the Bears

4 carries, 75 yards, 64 yard TD, midway through the first quarter. Heisman: Jeanty > Ward

Georgia cuts the lead to only being doubled. 30-15.

The Gophers had a questionable call go against them late in the game after they stormed back to make it a three-point game. An onside kick was recovered by Minnesota but the referees threw a flag calling offsides. FOX's Mike Pereira said on the national broadcast that he didn't believe it was the right call.

I wanted Georgia to win, but knowing this is causing pain to Washington fans makes it okay.

That seems like wishful thinking.

I don't know if that was Smart to go for 2 there,

The Polls will be interesting tomorrow. 5-0 Indiana needs to be there.

Pick-6 USC, concern level over playing Wisconsin is low.

Another touchdown for USC, play interrupted Gary Danielson explaining why a 10-point lead is better than a 6-point lead. 31-21 > 27-21

USC 24 Wisconsin 21, end of 3rd quarter. USC doesn't play Ohio State or Oregon, so a Wisconsin win is more helpful and it's just more fun to see USC lose.

Halftime: Texas 14 Mississippi State 6

Touchdown, USC,, cuts the lead to 21-17.

Wisky ties USC, 7-7.
