Actually this is one time I think Brady got too much credit for the win, as he was throwing short passes all day. TB scored a good amount, but the TB defense holding KC to just nine points? THAT was the difference, and that primarily came down to one injury before the game on the offensive line. What if Sewell had been protecting Mahomes blind-side? Maybe the shoot-out we anticipated?

Oregon hiring Keith Heyward for DC would be the same as UW hiring Gregory. We could do better and did....

My point is--the baseball draft was only five rounds and the players who were seniors were granted an extra year. We will not have as experienced and talented players coming back next year, so compared to next year--this could be the year. Or I just want to get hyped about Our Beloved Ducks... Get out the gutter is not a correct label of the Baseball team as we were 8-7 when the season ended last year; should we say that the football team is getting out of the gutter next year since they went 4-3? (I don't think so...) Second...I'd like to be a bit more optimistic before the season... Out at HOME! Way to go DUCKS!

I agree with you that Frost may not be coaching there too much longer, but perhaps Lowe feels that his thoughts might be listened to or valued more where it is needed? No idea really....just my guess.

Giving love where it is due? Nothing happens for a running back unless there is great blocking. An interview of his recently impressed many as well...

Well....

For those who know of hythloday1 on Addicted to Quack, you are aware of his detailed analysis of games and opponents. While I do not always agree with him, I do respect the monster amount of time and work devoted for us fans, and for free. Below is an analysis you better carve out a ton of time for, as it is not casual reading. I would always love to discuss...

While I know that sounds a bit hard to believe--next year Oregon will not have all the seniors returning or the caliber of players returning due to the MLB draft. The article below is superb in that it goes through the line-up to give us an update and who to watch for. Let's go Baseball Ducks!

Reading articles about how TB went 7-9 in 2019, but the pieces were there for a good team...if they had good quarterbacking play. (No...GREAT quarterbacking play) It made me ponder how good Oregon could be this fall if we had an experienced, savvy QB running the show? Darron Thomas...don't you have another year of edibility? (Joking!) But the pieces are there for a good team, and it can either be wasted with mediocre QB play or elevated with great QB play. It is a shame, but a reality that QB has a massive disproportionate impact on the entire team. Thoughts?

This is pretty amazing stuff, as you would think the extreme level of competition would lower his stats...

Fun-fun-fun. But I would like to think the supporting cast will make a difference in this one...

Amen Haywarduck, as everyone knows what a passionate fan I am, especially of football. But I call it the way I see it, and the beauty here is being able to...and yet people still have to be nice. (by our rules) What I wrote would have brought about quite a wretched wrath against me on other sites... Or maybe I'm just feeling.....MONDAY.

I cannot wait to see the impact of Sedona Prince on this game since she was injured for the last one! Taylor Chavez and Maddie Scherr not available due to COVID protocols...

I'll let you decide, but looks pretty similar to me! Nice video editing work...

If he was coaching offensive line and tight ends in the past--I doubt this is for the position in the secondary! Probably a quality control or analyst kind of spot?

Consider his reasoning that makes sense, but yet as a Duck...not very palatable. It gives ammo for Huskies and Trojans... Greg McElroy says Pac-12 will make College Football Playoff in 2021 by 247Sports

When he made the decision to dump what worked for nine years averaging 43 points a game...."preventing" is precisely what Cristobal did. I am resigned to waiting for enough years and lost games before he learns....

Nice to see, but I really don't want to deal with a big company in copyright issues. In the future--let's summarize lightly and offer your opinion, but copy and pasting can get me into trouble. My thanks, Charles P.S. I really appreciate you posting a new topic and would encourage everyone to do so as well!

Great stuff Fordux, and welcome to the site!

Oregon State is killing it in the transfer portal, and picked up a number of former 4-Star players. It is why their defense improved so much in the last two years... So Coach Smith is using the scholarships for current transfers, and thus not part of the ranking process.

We have two scholarships left and one is being reserved for JTT, and the other for the transfer portal since it is expected to have a ton of activity in the off-season. If JTT decides elsewhere, then perhaps there is the kicker scholarship?

On the offensive line? Makes sense to me!

Did ASU give him a scholarship? That might have been the difference....

One analyst said it well a while back when he said that Altman teams did best when they had a shot-blocker to come from the weak-side on defense. Boucher, Bell and now Kepnang?
