Yeah, they look flatlined...no emotion or sense of urgency. Lanning needs to them up!

Awesome. Thank you. I searched the forum, but couldn't find the reference.

I'm dying to know what The Mariota Play is. I can think of so many...

I think some special rule for bowl games might be needed. I don't like the trend of NFL hopefuls skipping bowl games. Maybe having a pay for bowl game play clause might help. Networks might be willing to pony up some money in hopes of retaining market share. NIL is a can of worms. But if they can get some big fish in the boat, then maybe it's positive in the long run.

When given the opportunity to go to Miami was anyone surprised Mario took the ball and RAN with it?

You think I believe an actuary uses a gut feeling to determine terms of an insurance policy? Oregon did the very thing you are arguing they should ALWAYS do. It didn't work out. They lost. I had a wise teacher tell our class anytime an axiom includes ALWAYS or NEVER it should ALWAYS be avoided and NEVER be adhered to. "Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, but an unthinking person will walk right into it and regret it later." - Very old proverb

Sorry, but that's flawed. There are way too many moving parts to leave that decision up to some limited algorithm. It's why insurance companies pay a LOT of money to Actuaries instead of relying on some formula. How gassed was the O line? How long did it take UW to score due to the short field? How slick was the turf at that point in the game? Aversion to risk is a good thing and it has to be a factor when making a decision. Know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, know when to punt. A punt is an offensive play.

When your backup QB is in and hasn't gotten a first down in several games punting is NOT a turnover. It's an opportunity to flip the field and get a stop or turnover and make the other team work harder to score, if they score AND use more clock. Compare yards per play with Bo in vs the backup and I'll bet the odds of the backup getting that first down are much lower. I realize we all have 20/20 vision now, but even Lanning admits it was the wrong call in THAT situation. Otherwise, if the average yards per play is 3 or more, then why punt, ever?

I agree with everything but am worried about next year. If the Duck QB next year is not great, it might be more exciting to watch the Ducks at Alton Baker park.

Congrats. So much Intel up in the air. Not one onside kick...who knew?

The "trick" play of the game was Cam McCormick's amazing tackle that prevented a pick six.

ugh. time for a screen pass?

Told the wife I don't like good games.

They have to fluster Rising somehow now.

I disagree. Can't blame that on Mario.

Not 100% on Ty but that's partially on him. UNBELIEVABLE

LOL. Oh, the drama. Nix passes for 400 yards and 4 TDs and rushes 200 yards and 4 more TDs. Oregon recovers 9 onside kicks. The D never plays a down.

Per a source per ESPN...so, for what it's worth... "Bo will be evaluated after warmups". If he can warm up, he can play. Just Do It

Do you have a source?

Justin's first game was at the end of a WSU loss. I belive he drove the Ducks 75 yards or so down the field. Justin > Ty

I believe Bo will start. BTW, Utah defeated WSU in Pullman with their backup QB. He looked a lot better than Ty. Tomorrow's outcome is on Oregon's defense.

2022 NCAA rules changes address targeting, faking injuries | AP News APNEWS.COM INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — College football players penalized for targeting can have part of their punishment appealed... Interesting article that addresses 3 situations all in the final moments of the game. Did Oregon lose a down due to illegal touching? Did Hutson fake an injury?

If this rumor is true, I believe Lanning's contract contains language that would be cause for separation if he knew. It needs to be investigated.

Conference.

Nix had words with the DB. That's something I like about Bo. He's not afraid to speak his mind.
