Gotta give AB creds when due. Awesome perseverance on that gutsy TD run. Dye is on fire!!!

Is this when Cristobal milks the clock?

I'm wondering if MC can't read a digital clock. Someone buy him a watch with a second hand. Worst time manager EVER!

LOL! In two years they can celebrate the 30th anniversary of heavy sanctions imposed that sent the Husky program back to the DAWG house for YEARS.

...Corn Pop was a bad dude...

Looking like a Cal spring game...

He might be back this weekend.

^^^^^^^^ YEP!!! Another point is the PLAYERS GOTTA PLAY. I see a LOT of blame at most programs around the country by fans that blame the coaches, when the final responsibility falls on the player's ability to execute. I wonder how many FSU fans would take back Jimbo about now? But I do want to see more young thoroughbreds out on the field.

In that case, maybe call it a sell week. Cell week for inmates, I guess.

Same here...but I haven't signed up since the Natty with OSU. I listen to Jerry Allen.

Based on past interactions between Jon Gruden and Marcus Mariota and many comments made by Gruden about Mariota, I believe it's logical to surmise that Gruden is one of Mariota's biggest champions. Do you agree? Does the departure of Gruden affect Mariota's future?

I agree. As the Duck QB play goes, so goes the wins and losses. Ironically, the same goes for the play of the opposing QB. The Ducks have been bailed out by poor throws by the opposing QB. I'm mildly optimistic AB has a better game on Friday. It's time for the colts on the RB corps to bolt out and have a breakout game. I would put Seven in the slot and get him the ball in the open field since he is SO fast. Pressure the QB, PLEASE!!!

I have a hard time believing the coaches didn't coach JH on footwork or that they let "bad" footwork slide during countless hours of practice. He had Helfrich, Yost, and Arroyo. All 3 are highly regarded. And Justin is brilliant and a quick learner.

The Duck receiving corps while Herbert was on board was weak. Of course, Herbert's injury hurt the team. The coaching carousel didn't help. But he stayed his Sr year, improved his stock, bulked up, and is now a phenom. Very happy for him. What are the odds that the two best QBs to play as a Charger would be former Beloved Ducks!?!

I'm happy he found another home. Great for him. Go Ducks!

He had his fair share of chances. He was horrendous.

Well, I thought I might find a college who's mascot might be the Baboons, but instead found this page. The Ducks are #3. http://petslady.com/article/10-college-mascots-are-really-strange-and-how-they-came-be

But, but, but......I was raised by a super aggressive alpha female. LOL

And then there's Mike Leach. Everything stops while the world waits for him to call a play. LOL

MC listed a LOT of responsibilities a QB has to master. I think he was communicating that Brown is ahead of the others as far as being a complete QB without spelling out the exact areas where they all differ. It's always going to be almost impossible to know why certain decisions are made because by answering questions in too much detail a coach might be enlightening the competition, of course. That can make being a spectator frustrating.

Just thinking about why MC would stick with Brown for any other reason than Brown truly is that much better than the rest. Prukop was benched at this time of the season. Herbert did well. He had good size. As much as MC loves physicality, do you think he's concerned Ty isn't physically strong enough, yet? Putting him in as a starter prematurely, then seeing him get injured badly would be tough to live with and could affect his future. Is he an immature thoroughbred that needs more snaps, instead of being THE workhorse?

Very sad. The play didn't seem very physical at first blush. Played too many games for a medical redshirt. Medical Hardship Requirements To be eligible for a medical hardship waiver, a student-athlete has to meet the following criteria: The student-athlete must suffer the injury during one of their four seasons of college competition or during the senior year of high school. The injury must be incapacitating. That means it must be a season-ending injury. The injury must occur prior to the start of the second half of the season. The student-athlete must not have competed in more than 30% of the season or three contests, whichever is greater.

I'm depressed now...

Just had a thought that depending on the illness, it's possible he may be out for the year. I hope not, but I'm anxious to see how well Jim recovers. Hoping for the best.

I decided to compare numbers between the last two Oregon Duck Football transfers Prukop and Brown. Prukop was replaced by Herbert at the end of the 5th game. I'm having issues getting this to format correctly. I attached a screenshot for easier viewing. What strikes you most about the stats in the first 5 games for each transfer? Game Passing Running QBR Prukop 1 271 yds, 21/30, 3 TD, 0 INT 11 carries, 36 yds, 1 TD 45 2 331 yds, 21/31, 3 TD, 0 INT 7 carries, 19 yds 94.7 3 146 yds, 14/23, 0 TD, 0 INT 20 carries, 97 yds 60.9 4 293 yds, 22/33, 2 TD, 1 INT 6 carries, -10 yds 85.2 5 132 yes, 14/22, 0 TD, 1 INT 8 carries, 13 yds 37.5 Brown 1 172 yds, 15/24, 1 TD, 0 INT 16 carries, 56 yds, 1 TD 63.8 2 236 yds, 17/35, 2 TD, 0 INT 10 carries, 65 yds 76.5 3 150 yds, 13/17, 0 TD, 0 INT 4 carries, 1 yds, 1 TD 60.7 4 206 yds, 10/21, 3 TD, 0 INT 12 carries, 41 yds, 69 5 186 yds, 14/26, 0 TD, 1 INT 12 carries, 35 yds, 2 TD 31.9
