Now THAT is a great first post. Welcome to the forum, and do post often--especially if there is humor!

Trojan tears sweeten my coffee...

....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!
