Duck 68

It is great to look for the positives, but I simply observed that OBD were seriously outplayed and out coached in the 2 most important games in the last 2 seasons. In most of the games against better teams, our offense struggled. Our stats got improved playing Montana State and Oklahoma State, and we get Portland State next season, but against decent foes we were less than impressive. Looking forward to a new OC.

There was plenty of time to look for other open receivers. Also, Dante focused entirely on the quick out and his eyes were easily read by the defender. Another predictable Stein call that cost us much. I hope that we will get a new coordinator who will drastically change the Stein model, the model that never works against quality opponents.

We may need to look outside .... if the new coordinators are rubber stamps, then our situation won't change

We now have a chance to get some top quality coordinators. Both Stein and Lupoi got out-coached in another big game. Stein has been benefitted by great skill players and has not been particularly good at calling plays. Any suggestions?

Harris was our best asset .... we need to find a way to keep him on the roster.

Indiana has a great college defense, but it is not the defense Dante will see in the NFL. He needs at least one more year to develop before going to the next level.

Womens Golf and softball should be great this year ....

Maybe the best combo since Dixon to Dickson ....

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.

Great post by the Duckster

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."

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.

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.

The Huskies failed the eye test multiple times and they got in ....

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.
