His tackle on Jeanty on the bubble screen was epic!!! The Ducks had issues containing Jeanty in the run at times. But credit these linebackers in making him irrelevant in the passing game for the most part. If Jeanty was a big part of their passing game that would have been game over.

Boise should run the table from this point forward. Jeanty is a very good back.... Frustratingly so. He made a lot of the yards himself with yards after contact.

This is fine. Still loads of football to play.

I disagree here. Linebackers in Lanning's defense aren't simply run pluggers but they need to cover in space as well. And in terms of coverage they did a fantastic job. Bassa had two deflections right over the middle that were also nearly interceptions. The linebackers also did a pretty good job running the Boise running back down when he was bouncing to the edges. Minus a couple of plays but he's a legit good running back. Devon Jackson also had an incredible play covering Boise State runningback Jeanty as he slipped out of the backfield as a receiver on a critical third down. He forced an incompletion. I think the linebackers did a great job showing off their required versatility. Even in the run game for much of the third and fourth quarters Jeanty was picking up barely any yards or was picking up some negative yardage. Just couldn't keep him contained forever. Especially when the offense didn't spend much time on the field.

Knock us out of the top 25. If we are worthy of it we'll work our way back into it. We'll have plenty of opportunities to do so and this team showed last night some flashes of potential greatness but that's now how they played for the entirety of the game. Unless the Ducks make a significant jump this week, I expect a dog fight in Corvallis on Saturday against a Beaver team that was gutted with the departure of Jonathan Smith. We might also prove we're worthy of a top 25 ranking if we demolish the Beavers but I have a feeling it will be closer than it should be.

UPS and downs for sure. But flashes of what this team could be. We are currently not a top 25 team but if things settle we could be.

Let me put things this way. Oregon beat Boise State in one of the worst Duck games I've ever seen. It was horrendous. The Ducks did everything they could to lose the game it felt like. But they won. Despite the score the defrnse played well. They were just stuck in the field for an insane amount of time because the offense doing something dumb and coming off the field prematurely. As for the offense... We saw flashes of what this offense could be and what it could be is incredible. Those deep balls were something to behold. Overall when things clicked they looked good. I mean special teams scored twice this game! That has happened in forever. But with all that said... They need to really start putting it together. Or else this is just a 6-6 team if they're lucky.

Survived game two. We tried really really hard to lose.

Or drain the clock to nothing and get a walk off field goal. I'd take that at this point.

At least a player trailing him picked the ball up.

In truth right now... I don't even know what could be done to save this team and this season.

There are two combos they keep switching in and out. They can't seem to fully settle on an o-line.

Especially after we got ourselves a solid kicker.

Missing the game extra points!!???? Come on Ducks! Good TD. But still.

Just me... Or is this feeling like 2016? Barely beat am FCS team followed by complete offensive line collapse and defensive collapse..

No more fly sweeps! They get nothing constantly!

Offense squanders a possession... And Boise Scores. Ughh

When there's protection this offense is deadly. Need consistency!!!!

That drive it did not look like Pickard was in the lineup.

James has had a couple of decent runs. But still a far cry from where this team should be. Frustrating that Stewart didn't pick up the first down.

First play was meh... Second play was horrendous. 3rd play... Also pretty bad.

LSU is in a fight with Nichols State. Making that USC win look less impressive.

This only happens if Denver has a truly disastrous season and Nix is the root cause of it. I suspect that won't be the case.

I like to look at it this way. If this is true the Beavers will forever lose to the Ducks in football as the programs continue to diverge at an accelerated rate. This will be a permanent L on their yearly record. Their players will loath Oregon more than they do now as they will see it as a hopeless endeavor every year. The Beavers may keep the Pac-12 money but if they keep the Ducks on their schedule, as they think it is a good thing for them financially, it will become a punishment.

A court blocked that from happening for the time being for anti-trust purposes.
