Oh, Boo-Hoo!

As an Ol' Offensive lineman...I've got a new Man-Crush.

This guy has some outstanding analysis videos this last week...

For the young players--this could have been overwhelming...

We understand, Penn State fan...we've been there!

I am REALLY warming up to Alex Harkey, No. 71...

Damn....I wince seeing this again.

I believe two things in regards to this... 1) We've lost more games by NOT taking the points, than the reverse. Granted it is not many losses under Lanning, and not recently, but the stats are the stats. 2) It does not matter what I think; Dano is going to continue to go-for-it, and the players love it.

Oregon is No. 2 in the Coaches poll as well. I would LOVE to see this No. 1 and No. 2 remain this way until the end of the season. Can you imagine how seeing two Big-10 teams at the top of the polls grates on Paul Finebaum? Who is sucking lemons?

Krsmqn...on the tiebreakers! Official Stats: Score: 30-24, Turnovers: 1, Sacks: 2, Passing: 248 FanGirlDuck: 31-24 (1 off), TOs 2, Sacks 3, (Tie on this TB), Passing: 272 Krsmqn: 31-24 (1 off), TOs 1, (Wins this TB) , Sacks 3, (Tie on this TB), Passing 240 (Wins this TB) Only ONE point off by both? Incredible, and it came down to the tiniest of tiebreakers. That was the most entrants of any week yet, and do come back and join the fun next week. Thanks to all who participated, and CONGRATS again to Krsmqn! We're Right There With You!

I was most surprised at the poise of Dante Moore, as he was the QB who looked like the three-year starter, not Allar. We need to somehow free-up the long ball, the Bird-Bombs to stretch the defense and open up more of the offense, IMHO.

I was surprised at all the Penn State predictions....

You KNOW what I mean. How many times have we all thought...."this IS the year!" And our hopes were dashed by injuries, referees, weird stuff, etc.? We protect our hearts as Duck fans, we only want to believe to a point. But you have to admit--this is a GOOD TEAM. Dante Moore is so much better than I EVER anticipated, and made clutch plays as if he was a senior. We had freshmen play as if they were seniors... And we had coaches who took another big step UP. We have as much a chance of winning a 'Natty as anyone. Are ready to pull off the shield from your Duck-Heart and truly BELIEVE this is the year?

I disagree: Breland played A LOT, and made some pressures at key moments...

Allar got picked to end the B1G Championship, and now this.... Let's continue this discussion in a new thread!

Who do you give the game ball to? The defense was NAILS for three quarters, but the offense got it done at crunch time? Whew!

We can WIN this game!

I'll bet we're winning the time-of-possession game! (Sarcasm)

And Indiana pulled it out and beat Iowa, 20-15, and goes to show what good defense can do. (And a home field advantage for Iowa)
