Look at the Bright Side With This Game...
The Ducks looked more like #33 than #3. Not a good start. With so much hype, maybe the players figured just showing up would be good enough. Very disappointing. Gabriel is no Nix and needs to run on occasion.

Oregon Wearing 'Throwback' Uniforms for Fiesta Bowl?
I'm hoping the Ducks wear their "throwback" uniforms in the Fiesta Bowl. It would a fitting tribute to the end of times for the PAC-12. OBD gave us some wonderful memories while in those uniforms, not the least of which was "the Pick."

What If...the Huskies Make Oregon Look GOOD?
I continue to think the Ducks are and were a better team than the Dawgs. We blew game one due to some questionable offensive calls and came out flat, very flat, in game 2. Losing to them sucks. But thinking their possible success will make me feel better about OBD is nuts. I'm thinking a rematch between Texas and Alabama in the final, with 'Bama the winner.

Did the Oregon Ducks Fail Ty Thompson?
Like others, I think TT was a young man of great character and potential. We saw him perform in games in a less than stellar manner, somewhat due to the mop up role he was given. He frequently was paired with other second tier performers and the plays called for him were not at all aggressive. Plus, who will look top notch when compared with the best, in my opinion, qb in college football. I think that could be an issue for Gabriel. Will we compare him to Nix? Tough standard to meet.

Is the Playoff Eye Test Being Equally Applied?

Washington DID Pay Oregon the Ultimate Compliment...
I was at the game and thought the Huskies played great. They didn't show the play on the screen where Penix fumbled and the refs changed the call. They (the refs) made a big mistake. Similar to Dyer was down.

They Are Ready To Rumble!
An amazing season and more to come

Is Camden Lewis Broken?
Agreed that Lewis appears to be mentally shot. Like all good athletes who go through slumps, he is capable of turning it around. How about this Friday? I know we have a strength and conditioning coach, do we have a mental conditioning coach?

Can Ty Thompson Raise His Game and Lead Ducks in '24?
Doubts about Ty Thompson are caused by a few factors. 1) He is compared to the best quarterback in College Football, therefore he doesn't appear to be ready. 2) He typically comes in to run out the clock and throw very conservative routes. 3) He is not surrounded by starters in most cases. Reason one will fade away slowly, but two and three's disappearance will give Ty and us fans more confidence in his ability.

Eight Million a Year...for THIS?

Do You Feel It?
I have been feeling it too! There is a confidence that this team is so deep, is focused, disciplined and on a mission. DL and his staff have assembled a great group of young athletes who have the character to match their skills. We also have the best leader on the field in Bo Nix. That said, the Beavers always pose a challenge, but our Ducks should win this Civil War by at least 2 touchdowns. On to Vegas for sweet revenge!

Kenney D's Praise for the Ducks
It makes total sense to compliment your opponent before and after a game. If you demean them, your win or good performance is lessened. If you praise them, your win or good performance is expanded.

Very Alarming Stat
Correct. The need to "clean up" the penalties will be essential against the Beavers and Dawgs.

Ducks Top Trojans On Sloppy Saturday
I thought this was the Ducks poorest performance since the Texas Tech game. Penalties, dropped passes, some errant throws; I believed we were improving. Last night was a step back and may cost us in the playoff rankings. Additionally, we need to fix our place kicking game as it could prove to be critical in our next two or four games.
