This might be superficial, but I wouldn’t trust Feld to get my coffee, let alone understand the subtleties of preventive therapy. And we all sure saw a lot of Feld—that guy really knows how to find the lens.

thanks @Pennsylvania Duck This was exactly my suspicion, and now I have arguments to substantiate my confirmation bias. Go Ducks!! 🦆

This is def an up year for the Pac. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/notre-dame-vs-stanford-updates-live-ncaa-football-game-scores-results-for-saturday-27009357/live/

I will keep reminding peeps that GA lost to AL 41-24 and then beat AL barely a month later for the 2022 natty. If ever there was a real reason to give a team a mulligan is when that team is playing its first game w a brand new coaching staff and QB against the reigning champs. tOSU lost to Northwestern the first game of the season and won the Natty later against the Ducks. I will argue that a 12-1 OR team doing a rematch against GA would be a MUST-SEE tv. Mark my words… a 12-1 Duck team is in the CFP 💯.

I agree @Charles Fischer . Mari’s OLs should have been better. Sewell would have been great no matter where he played.

And Utah is the highest 2-loss team. The Pac getting a little credit.

I could not agree more. This team shows discipline that we haven’t seen in a long time. Penalties were cleaned up in 1 week.

It was pathetic. Good news is the coaches simplified things, and it’s much improved.

FG Lumber would have been the winner under the prior scoring. I added the score to demonstrate that the point spread gives a less accurate picture of the game that was played. IMHO

Actual Ducks 45 Furd 27 @EastBayDuckDad Ducks 48 (delta 3) Furd 27 (delta 0) total delta = 3 @Mic Ducks 45 (delta 0) Furd 24 (delta 3) total delta = 3 @FG Lumber Ducks 35 (delta 10) Furd 17 (delta 10) total delta = 20 IMHO, the official “we-won-by-x-TDs” is harder to get perfect but is a less accurate picture of how the game was played.

I think the closest to the actual score is more important than the point spread. EBBD and mic tie for first. On to the tie breakers…

coaches can be very risk-averse and close-minded

Ducks 42-10 4 turnovers 6 sacks 420 yds passing

That sure was a satisfying smackdown of the Fuskies.

Another former-duck-assistant-goes-back-to-alma-mater-to-head-coach fail.

For some strange reason I never thought the Ducks were out of the game. It’s not a brag, but a reflection of how much had changed in 3+ games. If Mari were running the show, I prob would have turned it off after the 3rd. But Dilly had the O moving all game. And there’s no question that the Ducks have more quality depth than the Cougs. So I kept the faith that we could/should win the 4th quarter. (Mari wouldn’t have scored 29 points in the whole game, let alone in less than a quarter.) But those are just the logical reasons. There’s also just something different about the way this team plays. They carry themselves differently. They make mistakes but don’t implode. They just do their business. They seem to be channeling different emotions. This new culture is led by DL, but the tragedy of Spencer Webb has surely changed the outlook. Both Utah and tOSU had 2 of their best seasons after losing teammates. I know I would be extra motivated to play every second of every game my friend couldn’t play in.

GA got spanked by AL 41-24 last year in the SEC champ game but dominated the Natty against that same AL team a few weeks later. Good coaching and players’ determination can fix things in a hurry. The last 2 data points have shown fundamentals and solid progress. Regardless, we are headed the right direction….

Streaming is the only option I have in LA to watch the Pac-12 Oregon channel. Spectrum only carries the Pac-12 LA channel. Watching re-runs of USC gymnastics while the Ducks are playing football is infuriating.

A) Only 48 penalty yards B) TDs on the last drive of first half and the first drive of the second half That’s how you win the Pac. We haven’t seen that consistently since the CK years.

I am looking forward to the Fishduck article explaining the RB situation. They start w a rando transfer who proceeds to miss two catches before even getting a hand-off. Then they switch RBs every drive or more, and the team’s top returning RB doesn’t get meaningful touches ‘til garbage time.

This is the point where the game goes on mute.

what? bo nix kick??!

Is Connorly playing?

who is irving??
