DUCKED

“Who cares what anyone says.” Totally agree. Just play the damn games! Oregon is fortunate that it has played consistently well all season. The same can’t be said about Ohio State, which laid a giant egg in their rivalry game against an average Michigan team and was limited to 10 points…..at home! A real stinker. Any team, at any time, can by victimized by a lackluster performance, no matter the circumstances. Oregon, fortunately, has avoided that. The Ducks, after a less than impressive start in September, have played better than anyone in the country, and they deserve to be ranked No. 1. If they play up to their standards, limit penalties, and get a little luck along the way, they definitely can win it all. GO DUCKS! ……..Happy Holidays to all!

Dillingham DID come in last.

You’re right ….it wasn’t trash talk at all. Someone, for reasons unknown, chose to label it that in the posting. He didn’t say anything that any other QB might also have said.

HUMBLE HOWARD!!!

The pass rush will be key. If Howard has time to stand back there and look around Jeremiah Smith will burn us. He’s a great route runner and catches everything. His running mate isn’t bad either.

Who cares? Win the games, prove them wrong. Then we can gloat! Beat Ohio State and our chances skyrocket.

I think it’s great that Ohio State is favored. It helps Oregon….doesn’t hurt them.

It’s not just you. He has been quiet…….he’ll need to produce, and attract attention, so Tez can do his thing.

Don’t let Jeremiah Smith average 17 yards per catch and score 2 TD’s!

Definitely a winnable game for the Ducks…..and losable, too. If Gabriel outplays Howard, Ducks win.

He was very productive in ‘23, and given the opportunity at Oregon he is likely to show that his soph year was an outlier. I hope the Ducks land him

Put the hurt on Heupel, ream Ryan Day! You’re bringing’ it today, Jon.

Agreed, but what needs to happen is the automatic top 4 seeding of conference champions must go away. That would negate the re-seeding discussion.

Branch would be a fantastic pickup.

While we all hope that Oregon wins The Natty, I would surprised if it happens. Winning three straight games against against top competition, on a neutral field, is a monumental challenge. Could it happen? Absolutely. But I certainly wouldn’t bet on it. ** I would LOVE to be proven wrong.

Agreed!!

Tennessee, with a predictable offense and less than stout defense. Want no part of Ohio State…….

It’s not a team award, it’s an individual award. And Hunter is a generational talent. I think he deserved to win. Having said that, had Gabriel won, I wouid have been fist bumping along with the rest of us

Did he say that? I thought he said Ward was “the best quarterback in the country.”

Just curious……why do you detest Indiana?

Hopefully the championship games will go away….soon.

What he does after the catch on the shorter routes is what sets him apart. Is there anyone better?

Was Evan Stewart even targeted?

Agreed……Miami needed a miracle 4th quarter comeback……to beat Cal! No way they should be ranked ahead of Georgia.

The Gabriel pass was incredible, thrown to the only spot where it had a chance to be completed. As good as the pass was, it was also a difficult and game changing catch by Ferguson.
