30Duck

Thanks, I appreciate you coming over. As I'm sure you noticed, no Washington Husky fans here, could have been that oh so complicated signing in process you seemed to have handled, but for whatever reason, we're glad to have a real Rival in the B1G.

Has there ever been a fumble that wasn't untimely? Georgia just fumbled, recovered by Notre Dame.

How's Gunnar going to do?

I don't analyze film. But my analysis of the two games Oregon and Ohio State played comes down to: Ohio State wasn't prepared to play in October and lost by 1 point in the final seconds. Oregon wasn't prepared to play in January and lost by 20, in a game that was over after 5 minutes. This was a great season for Oregon. They won the B1G, were No.1, a season for the ages. The difference is Ohio State was pretty much this good last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and will be Championship or Bust for years to come. Oregon obviously isn't that yet. There are a lot of holes to fill if the Ducks want to be in the New and Improved Playoff next season. I have complete faith that Lanning is the coach to get us there.

It was really unfortunate that this happened in a Playoff game, be it in college or the NFL. That snowball just gets bigger and bigger and then it's a blizzard and OBD definitely didn't have a sled. It sure looked like No.8 Ohio State benefited by getting to play a game last week while No.1 Seed Oregon was left to sit and watch.

How about a 2 Seed for the Ducks? Maybe we don't want a 1 Seed right now. NCAA Bracketology: 2025 March Madness men's field predictions WWW.ESPN.COM For all the big-name Big Ten additions, Oregon is the most surprising -- and among the best -- of the bunch.

First game is August 30.

One could look at the game against Ohio State and say that proves how badly Oregon got screwed by being the No.1 seed, which is obviously a problem. But there will be those who will only see that Oregon was exposed by Ohio State. Of course those will be the same bunch that will always believe that Alabama deserved to be in the Playoff.

I've heard & read, and it seems to be true that losing a game, even one like today, rarely affects recruiting, especially after they've signed.

You know, this does make some sense about Stewart. He was ready to go Pre-game, but then he wasn't.

Would it have been better if Oregon had finished 7-5 and won the Weed Eater Bowl?

Gonna be heads or tails.

The Husky fans, who's team lost the Sun Bowl are loving this. They're losers. I'm wearing my Duck gear tomorrow,

I don't think it was a scheme, prep, rust problem. Ohio State had bigger, better players, everywhere. Smith is 6'3 225, the Ducks covering him were 5'9 190. DG kept getting throws swatted back in his face.

That was a great season, nothing can take the accomplishments away. What was made clear today is that OBD isn't Ohio State yet. Which really isn't that hard to understand. Remember when they beat OBD with their 3rd string QB? They'll be this good next year, and the year after that. They reload. Oregon is still building.

Horrible ending to a great season. 13-1, B1G Championship. That's a great season. Thank you, OBD!!!

Smith backed up his talk. Nobody could cover him, couldn't get a hand on Howard. He's my pick for the Heisman next season.

Defenseless receiver, head to head = Targeting. But not here?

Credit to the entire ASU team, but this performance by Skattebo reminds me of Luke Jackson when he scored 29 straight points in the Ducks' win over Colorado in an NIT game.

TD Skattebo. Defensive holding on 2 point try. Skattebo gets it, 24-24!!!

Skattebo on a go route, 62 yards, first & goal!.

INT for ASU!

Touchdown Pass for Skattebo, & a 2 point conversion! 24-16.

Rusty-Overmatched aren't mutually exclusive.
