I’ve never seen this before… DL opens his Wed press conference singing the praises of his scout team. “Really proud of the guys that are giving us a look this week look is extremely important playing obviously a really talented team. Brock Thomas, is doing a good job over there. Extending plays and making it challenging for us. On the defensive side of the ball several guys on defense doing the same thing for our offensive unit but tough challenge ” Some coaches talk about teams. DL clearly walks the walk. Teams are only as strong as their weakest link. Go Ducks!

So true—Stein really has his work cut out for him. 🤣

One thing is for sure, if OBD win the coin toss, they need to get the ball first on offense and run a 75-yard series that ends in a TD and takes 5 mins off the clock before U$C ever breathes on the ball.

AND we have the #11 scoring D (SOS #61) Only 2 other teams have top-15 scoring offenses and defenses: Michigan (SOS #70) and SMU (SOS #112).

From the article posted by @Pennsylvania Duck wrt the Cotton Bowl: “The fact that Grinch wasn’t summarily fired after that unforgivable finish speaks volumes about Riley’s loyalty, and speaks even louder about his unseriousness as a coach.” This! Riley is not a serious coach.

Also known as the 8 vs 9 game conference schedule.

Bo to the Rams!!! Then both my LA teams will have Duck QBs. And Bo can hand-off to Royce Freeman. 🤩🤩

I agree—I felt really bad for him to be put in that position. I would argue that it does reflect poorly on his leadership skills, though. And this is also in the context of Williams generally being a poor sport. The contrast with Nix is striking.

I read that the sideline interference call was against Nix. Nix was so engaged in the game from the sideline that he got caught up in it. Compare that to Williams crying in the stands. Just sayin’…

U$C is one of the top-10 WORST scoring defenses in the NCAA. Utah, Stanford, Hawaii, and Colorado all rank better. Cal’s D is the only D ranked worse than U$C’s that we will face all year. And Cal’s stats are extra bad because OBD just hung 63 on them. I know DL will certainly be disappointed if we don’t lay 70+ on the Trojans. My hubby, faithful Duck-in-law that he is, predicts 80+. 🤣

One thing I would like to note… If we were still in “divisions,” a 1-loss Ducks would _not_ make the P12 championship game against an undefeated UW. My guess is AZ would represent the South instead. So thanks Kliavkoff for at least one good decision by the league. This makes the Pac far more likely to make the CFP.

I don’t see DL letting the Trojans leave Autzen without hanging at least 50 on ‘em. DL knows when to make a statement, and Utah’s D is far superior to U$C’s. U$C let Cal score 49 points. CAL!

I mean, with the next 2 teams on our schedule, we could easily be averaging over 50 ppg heading into the Uncivil War.

💯 After yesterday (corrected): #1 UofO 47.4 #2 U$C 45.5 #3 LSU 45.2 and #11 in scoring defense.

Riley needs be hounded about this—it’s an egregious disservice to his team.

Um, I just saw a clip of Caleb Williams crying in his mom’s lap during the game yesterday. Please tell me that was an AI deep fake. It was painful to watch on many levels.

All 3 of UW’s remaining games are losable.

After yesterday: #1 LSU 47.4 PPG #2 U$C 45.9 PPG #3 UofO 45.5 PPG EDIT: these #s are after Utah, not Cal. Corrected numbers below.

U$C beat Cal by 1. Ducks beat Cal by 44. Posted without comment.

This is what’s been most impressive to me. Steve Stephens loses the starting job he had for 3+ years, yet there he is against Cal with a pick and some great plays. And absolutely everyone on the field is making great plays. Tight man to man coverage. Excellent tackling. Setting the edge. Dominating the line. Communicating. Spying. It’s a well-oiled machine right now.

We can do this for the rest of the regular season.

pretty sure that was TT’s longest pass as a Duck

UGH, that hurt

This is hard to watch👎

Wow!!
