....but I never said I was noble.

A touchdown was denied ASU because the back judge could not see the holding of the jersey in two places by the UW DB on the ASU receiver. ASU went for it on 4th down and failed... Like the ball on the ground by a Husky receiver against us that was counted as a catch and was crucial in one of their drives. They are getting the key calls or ignored calls that change games...

We did really well against him considering what he did to us last year, what Drake Maye and Tyler Shough did against us as well. This is why coaches like dual-threat QBs, as they really stress a defense.

I think you make a valid point about Washington State, Ryan, in that the Cougars have almost been as troublesome as Stanford has been over the long term, inexplicably....for the Ducks. At times, I too question an occasional play-call, but then I forget about the great plays and assume they are supposed to happen. To have our offense perform as it is with four new starters on the offensive line, and two new starters at receiver with a 33 year old OC who is still learning what he can do at this level...?? No! Count our blessings...

Yeah, they are the Big-12s problem now...

Did I hear Husky fans booing when a play didn’t go their way?

It's good to scout out two opponents in advance...

PittDuck correctly predicted the 38-24 score, and in his prediction post he wrote..."Not sure why I keep doing this, I am seldom even close!" Well, my Duck-Buddy...you got as close as possible! I wish I had a prize, but know that we all congratulate you. Thanks to everyone for having fun with this, and note that my having the first opportunity at a guess has not helped me at all!

To be on national television again is fantastic!

Here we are my Duck-Buddies, the thread for pondering the actual game as it happens. Let's discuss before, and during the game! The vast majority of you are GREAT in this thread, but you must remember that this forum is different, as we require civilized discourse. Discussion of negative is fine, but don't vent on us! Rule No. 31d covers GameDay Thread Conduct, and it is not hard for the vast majority of us--just a tiny few who need to reign it in when things don't go well for Our Beloved Ducks. Let's Have Fun Posting During the Game!

Good gosh...six minutes left in the third quarter and it is a 10-6 game with the Buckeyes a nose in front? I would hope we can do better than that in B1G country next year. And it is not even November yet!

As I believe....we have a defensive brain-trust between Coaches Lanning, Lupoi and Hampton. Think of it...all three were Defensive Coordinators at prior programs. Count our blessings!

I was trying to convey that he is not on our radar any longer--available or not. We moved on from him a long time ago because we like who we have. All three corners below are rated much higher...

Oh brother...the player below in the tweet pulls a USC hat from an Oregon box with the Trojans touting how they beat out Utah and Oregon for this corner. The truth is...Oregon offered him over a year ago, but decided to go another direction (Like Dakota Fields) and this Isiah Rubin had not even been to Oregon with an official or unofficial visit. They gotta pretend any win they can get over the Ducks... It's pathetic and sad, but this is where USC fans reside right now. The real decision was between Colorado and USC...good one Trojans!

How do the coaches feel about it? John Canzano asked Chip Kelly... JC: What would you change about college football itself? CK: “No night games. College football should be played on Saturday afternoon on every campus in this country like the old days. The tradition and history. As (former Oregon defensive coordinator) Nick Aliotti used to say, ‘I want to get up, touch our toes and smash.’ I don’t want to wait around because that’s the time slot we have. Let’s get up and play ball.”

I am planning to record and check into the Ohio State vs. Penn State game, and noted that it has a noon kickoff EST, thus 9:00 AM for us. It got me to thinking about the blockbuster away games coming up over the years versus the Buckeyes, PSU, Wisconsin and Michigan. They will probably start at the same time, thus we will be watching on TV as we are still in our morning coffee? What about when they play here at Autzen, and it is a big game....will they make OUR kickoff at 9:00 AM to fit the window for the biggest audience? (Makes sense?)

With all that I discussed, I never did give a prediction… Coach Lanning WILL break the recruiting record with the 2024 class!
