Holy crap! If he stays...the entire defense line would be returning? Whew! Frankly...even if he did not--with the other three returning, and knowing that Terrance Green and Tionne Gray are ready to step up....our situation on the defensive line would be... "Good-or-Good!"

What could possibly go wrong with Raiola running the offense?

I think this is a good choice for him...he needs to refine his pass rush. https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/matayo-uiagalelei-staying-in-eugene-oregon-secures-another-defensive-cornerstone-270521613/

Thanks for taking me down that sweet memory lane. Damn.

As bad as they are, there are a BOATLOAD of Beavis players in the portal. While that memory you referred to is only three years ago…it is a generation ago in today’s CFB, and Beavis fans know it. They beat Lanning in his first year before he had time to build Oregon into a perennial top 10 team, and they know that window of opportunity for them has sadly closed. Boo-Hoo!

No coincidence I felt like wearing black today, and not as a Duck color. Crushing defeats are hard no matter what the circumstances or when it happens. But as Steven A. pointed out--we lost three times in two years, and all to the No. 1 team in the nation. No dishonor in that! We were the No. 5 national seed, and beat the No. 4 seed 23-0, and thus confirmed Our Beloved Ducks as one of the best teams in the nation. It was still an Outstanding Year...

We had five who picked against Our Beloved Ducks, and none of them were close--compared to prior games, but GODUCKS15 was the winner with a total spread of 28 points off as the winner. He predicted 30-20, and thus he is the final prediction contest winner of this season. Hey--thanks to you all for being a part of this, as it is fun throughout the season. And Congrats to GODUCKS15 for the win! Really....I'm fine with him winning this way.... (Wait for it)

OK...this is a GameDay thread, and the game is over. Let's move to other threads on the front page, or create a new thread. Thanks.

Nope. Golf clubs are only good for killing snakes.

A reminder for all? We can say anything in the GAMEDAY threads, but in regular forum threads, we remain the "Forum-with-Decorum."

Wow. Thirteen wins for each of the last two seasons is constant disappointment? I think the strain of the day is tough on us right now...

What Cignetti did has never been done, and while it is amazing...I don't think we should compare our progress to the biggest outlier to the norm ever. We will have our turn...

Hey look at this! Indiana beat Alabama by 35 points....Indiana beat Oregon by 34 points.

As much as I despise Beavis, one thing I admire about so many of their fans is that they are loyal-no-matter-how-much losing they do. Our Beloved Ducks do a ton of winning in football, and while this is not a great day....we will have many more winning games ahead of us. Our turn will come...

Baseball starts in just five weeks, (Friday, Feb. 13th) and Our Beloved Ducks are going to do a lot of winning this season!

Trying to keep up!

The post of the year! (2026)

I will keep an eye on these GameDay threads to start new ones sooner with the malfunction going on...

Yep...I waiting for it! Gallows humor anyone?

Here we are my Duck-Buddies, the thread for pondering the actual game as it happens. Let's discuss before, and during the game! I have made a major change in how we will moderate our GameDay threads. Bottom line, is that you will be allowed to spew your frustration, to vent, as you wish. But Note the Parameters: --This is for GameDay threads only; you have to behave in the regular forum threads as in the past. --You cannot take shots at those who disagree with you, just like in the forum during the week. Remember how we discussed this upfront in this thread. Let's Have Fun Posting During the Game!

Fantastic first post...I love it all, especially the No-Huddle offense with an emphasis on the passing game. With running backs in short supply--let's utilize the deep talent at WR and TE. Dante throws well on the run, so move the launching point and I agree--take some shots.

Let's get it going....

We have not had an offensive explosion against a good team yet, so WE ARE DUE!

Fantastic article Mike, so great points to chew on... First, for everyone...I convert the games to digital, and will go through the game looking for angles of big plays that our photographers can't get. I make the screenshots, but have no idea if I will ever need them later. The top screenshot of the article and is in the top post of this thread is Dante Moore about to throw the touchdown pass to Malik Benson as he's broken open over the middle. I thought this was especially relevant with what Mike explained about throwing over the middle in this game. I think the psychological side brought up by Happy is very pertinent. I did not consider the blustering after the Penn State game, but Indiana was the next game after a bye week, and the collapse of PSU had not happened yet. I am sure the Oregon players were a bit "full-of-themselves" which gave them perhaps too much confidence coming into the game at Autzen. We already have the mental edge because it is hard for the Hoosiers to have the same intensity coming into this game as they did in Autzen because....they beat us before. The Ducks will have an intensity approaching the game that perhaps they did not possess before, as Happy alluded to. Add to how Indiana has survived close calls against PSU and Iowa, and just clobbered Alabama. If Oregon was in their position....I would be very worried about their mental state...of being overconfident. I would like to think that as amazing as Cignetti has done--he cannot overcome this human tendency. At least that is my fantasy, and I'm sticking to it!

Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction of Oregon versus Indiana? Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Let's get these predictions started, and remember I look for the differential between your predicted points with both teams from the actual points. I will use the tiebreaker information when needed, so provide all the data below! Entries without ALL the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count. We Have Two New Rules: If two winning scores are tied, and tiebreakers tie? The first one who posted wins, automatically. TerryM9 gets 42-6 locked in every time as his. (I love this guy!) Please follow directions, as I need all that is below for tiebreakers: --the winner --the score --the amount of turnovers Oregon creates --the number of sacks Oregon records on the opposing team --the number of passing yards by the Ducks. My prediction is: Oregon 30-20 1 2 281 Going to get a great game from Whittington!
