In the end, final score matters. Besides missing a wide open Tez in the endzone, Dillon played pretty good. Good enough to win.

Pretty tight coverage on Terrence.

I expected refs to give the benefit of doubt to tOSU, but seeing it in real time....ugh!

Yes, and his version was waaayyyy better.

The Temptations! Great reference. JJ, you should be the lawyer for the players union!

If we want to be known as " that team out west", these are the games we need to win. Autzen needs to be loud and rockin. Corso needs to wear the Duck head. Maybe even a little home field advantage from the refs. Let's start this sat to put the terror of playing in Autzen into B1G teams. A perfect time to wear black. Let's Go Ducks!

So last night I watched the 60 min version of the 2021 game and Oregon's great win. It gave me more confidence. Both teams are better this year, but, our defense is superb. And in '21, Thibodaux didn't play. Cristobal was our coach. Anthony Brown was the qb! We are so much better at every level this year. A Duck win will change perspective nation wide and be very good for the program. VERY good. A loss will continue the narrative of close, but no cigar. You are so right Charles. Great article. I do believe we are ready as a team for this moment. Lanning and staff have the boys primed and ready. The steady growth from week 1 has built up to peak for this moment. This really will be a superb game. And the best part, after we win solidly, and become ranked #1, there will still be 6 more regular season games! What a time to be a Duck!!

Oregon 35 -21 2 - t/o 4 - sacks 303 yds pass

About 35 minutes of great fun. Every Duck fan needs to listen. You'll be glad you did

Perhaps Fergie is influenced by the fact Oregon runs so many 2 and 3 tightend sets. The offense is always more fun if your on the field playing. But I sure hope we score in bunches this week!

Is this a big deal? Or maybe just another scam. It sounds logical, that's what concerns me. When the schools have to pay players, everything changes. Long live the Ducks NIL company. Acoustic Ducks.

I love them! The first time Oregon wore black unis was the Halloween game against USuC I believe. When they came out of the tunnel, everyone went nuts! We killed them! Ever since, I've been ok with black. These unis remind me of the Polynesian version worn once, so I'm good. I'm with Charles though about fans in black. Yellow or green might be better. Maybe all the sound coming from the vast sea of darkness will disorient tOSU?

Also, yell from your diaphragm not your throat. Take a deep breath, hold your tummy muscles firm, and bellow away. We expect the players to leave it all on the field, we the fans gotta do the same. Besides, it's 2 weeks before next home game. We can recover by then. GGOOOOOOOO DUCCKKKSSSSSS!!!

I don't think the outcome of the game is as important as we fans think. The atmosphere, the camus, the facilities and the coaching staff are the key here. From all reports, Oregon shines big with recruits on campus. The Ducks are clearly a top destination for years to come. Also, this will not be a disappointing game. The Ducks are ready. Coach Lanning and staff are ready. The fans will be primed. This is a game everyone will look back on and want to say, I was there.

Never! Nada! Nyet! As I've said before, even their own fan base doesn't appear to be all in with them. Only sell-out of their tiny, shiny stadium was against us! If they don't even care, no one, NO ONE else will either. Long live the Duck! Stomp out Buckeyes!!

I too recognized these plays in real time as being well designed. But the breakdown in slow-mo with explanations and arrows was just awesome! I thought that long TD pass to Tez was also brilliant. The safety had to choose between 2 players so one was sure to be open. Anyway, Charles you point out something great. The game within the game. The chess match in play calling between the legendary Chip Kelly and our very own Will Stein. Both coaches will have new plays ready, and new twists to previously shown plays. This is gonna be so fun to watch. Often I think the coaching staff gets too much blame or credit for a game. But this is one game where I think coaching will have a major impact. Players are amazing on both teams. It will be strength against strength. How the game goes will be greatly influenced by the coaches and play calling, both on offense and defense (new blitz packages, anyone?) I can't wait to see your breakdown and "hack-analysis" of this game later. Thanks Mr. Fishduck.

A real heavyweight bout! I compared the stats of both teams in their game against MSU. Amazingly they were virtually identical. Total yards made, allowed, 1st downs, etc. Scores were similar ,tOSU 38-7 and we were up 31-0 in the 4th before all the subs. I think both teams are really equally matched. Great skill players, powerful defense, solid O-line, well coached, this really should be a classic game. Quite possibly going down to a last second play. Special teams could be the difference maker in this one. Can't wait for Saturday!

How does this help NIL? Does the $$ go to the collective? It wasn't clear to me in article.

Oh palease! The week after a big win (or loss) is always a potential trap game. A let down after the emotional win over UGA is not surprising, especially against yearly doormat Vandy. Losing the "mystique of the Crimson Tide"?!? Give me a break. Any mystique was with Saban. Everyone knew that, (everyone but Paul F). It's a new era of CFB. Will be much harder for any one team to be the dominate dynasty. KD is a good coach, but he is no Saban. Yet. Great win for Vandy.

This is the week we've all been waiting for, we will see just how well we stack up against a legitimate power 4 stacked team. The good news is that this is only game 6, with half the season left to play. Regardless of outcome, there are still several good teams yet to play and lots of football left. tOSU has lots of weapons, and a front 7 on D that are big and come to play. This will take a full team effort on our part to stay with them. I think we are ready. It will be decided by who makes fewest errors. No missed tackles. No missed assignments. No presnap penalties. My biggest concern is our qb, DG. The last 2 games he has been a little off. Late throws, a little behind receivers or long. We need his best effort. If he is on target, we win. I don't think it will be high scoring. Both defenses are stout. Our punter and FG kicker best be ready.

This is why I don't pay to read his stuff. He likes his own opinions so much and never backs down. Too arrogant. Ever since he was so anti- Belotti, even going after his wife and son, I've not liked his sport coverage. When he writes about people or anything else, he can be amazing. If the product on the field was so amazing, why does OSU, Cal, Stan, Ucla, even USuC have such a hard time selling seats! If locals don't care, why would other markets?!??

Funny. They mention strength of schedule to justify keeping tOSU low, but not Miami. Virginia Tech is average, Cal is simply not very good, and UM struggled with both. And needed gross assistance from the refs. Remember, Cal lost to Florida St!! Oh well. They got what they wanted. We're talking about their lousy poll. 🙄

I still can't believe the Beavis can't sellout their little 37K seat stadium. They are realizing what we here at OBD have always known about "little brother", they belong with MWC teams. And not even their own fans are willing to pay $$ to see them. That says a lot.

I don't know why they would be upset... They only have 7 years left of a $95 million salary. A bargain. Don't ya think?! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤪🤓🥸😎

With the Duck doing the "Napolean Dynamite" dance at the game, great video meme Fishduck!
