Yep, the other day both USC and Oregon had 10 verbals for 2026, but with the flip of Williams and a recent 4-Star defensive lineman to USC...the Ducks drop all-the-way in rankings to... No. 2 (Long way to go!) USC fans are always classy... "We might be taking Oregon's lunch money this year with a couple of kids." "This guy is the 13th best QB in the nation according to 247??? I would be willing to bet money that he ends up much higher when he puts pen to paper." "It was clear then that he wasn't going to Oregon." - Tom Loy (This has the makings of a book title) "USC gets a flip from an Oregon recruit? Hmm.. did Uncle Phil's check not clear?"

Yawn. This is one position where I am NOT in favor of developing them through trial-and-losses. Sure, build depth in case of injury, but if a great portal QB who is experienced is available....grab him. As talented as Dante Moore is, (or purported at this time, since we have no proof) would we have gone 13-0 until the Playoff? No, as there were plays that only an experienced QB makes and knows. As far as I'm concerned, we have a pretty deep QB room right now, and I'm fine with this loss. Now if it was an offensive lineman...that would be different. Is that a beautiful photo or what? Geez I love our photographers...

Check our schedule in the article versus the other B1G members....thoughts?

It is POURING in Eugene, with big drops, thus a RAIN DELAY.

After two innings it is 4-1 Oregon, as Sanford gave the Ducks another shaky start loading the bases, but got out of it. Boy he has a nasty curve/drop pitch to go along with his low 90s fastball.

See end of thread later... --------------------------------------------------------------------- A noon start, and it is 3-1 Oregon after one inning. Freshman sensation Will Sanford started out very shaky, but recovered and shut down bases loaded giving up only one run. The Ram pitcher gave the Ducks a bases loaded gift in two walks and a hit batter, and Ducks got three runs off of it. Boy, the Freshman catcher Burke-Lee Mabeus had a great hit scoring two, and he looks impressive already.

My Duck-Buddies, I hope you will read and learn so much from this article as I did. A TON of surprises in the B1G scheduling, and nobody does the research like Jon. I personally will be saving the link to the article, so that I have it as a reference source between now and the end of next football season. Surprises in there about Indiana, Michigan, Rutgers and MORE. And GREAT pictures...

19-12 is the final, Oregon!

17-11 after seven innings, Ducks!

16-9 Ducks, after six innings. Freshman Kelian Knox had a scoreless inning in relief, and Mason Neville added a homer to center field in the rain.

Craziness continues, but in the favor of Our Beloved Ducks, as they take a 15-9 lead after five innings!

Did Bamba save the day on defense in the second half?

Ducks lead 11-8 after four innings! Reitz got tore-up, but so did the Ram pitchers. We've had great hitting, terrible pitching, a slew of errors, tons of walks and hit batters. The precise opposite of the morning game and it is only after four innings! There won't be any pitchers left for tomorrow...

Game recap coming later at the end of the thread... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ducks up 2-0 after one inning on an error and then a homer by Anson Aroz. The Big-Guy, the 6'11" monster, Jason Reitz on the hill...

Gabe Howard got it done in the 11th, and see the top post for how it ended. More coming later..

The Ram pitcher has not only been superb, but gone the entire nine innings in a 0-0 game. Starter for Oregon Collin Clarke gave us seven scoreless innings, and then big Cole Stokes (6'6") came in for two scoreless innings with his 97 mph fastball and a very nasty curve/drop ball pitch. We go to the tenth with Freshman from West Linn Gabe Howard trying to close...

Good gosh, 0-0 after six innings with a pitchers’ duel. Not only has Collin Clarke done well, but his low pitch count allows him to continue on in the seventh inning.

0-0 after five innings, and the Rams decided to test true freshman catcher Coen Niclai, of the Ducks who threw a perfect bullet to easily get the runner trying to steal second base.

0-0 after four innings.

Down 17 at one point? Damn...glad I recorded it and can watch without trepidation...great win. Is this the game that turns this season around?

We don't have a basketball writer, but would love a volunteer...

0-0 after two innings. Collin Clarke looking good thus far on the mound for the Ducks.

Wowsa. Oregon scored a run from third when Dominic Hellman hit ground ball to the Rhode Island shortstop, who then threw to low to first base for the only error and run of the game! I will have the game summary out later...

This was a fantastic article that will impact Oregon and the Playoff. I will be saving the link for reference in the future, as I know I will want to know these scheduling differences later. Jon....

Comeback fell short 12-11.
