Nice one Hay. I sold Blitz beer for 20 years before They quit brewing it. Stuff was nasty but a lot of good ole boys drank it in volume. Brought back some memories with that one Hayward made me smile,thanks.

A big plus for me is the coaching staff got rid of Brandon’s only weakness in setting the edge when it is his responsibility. Best game I’ve seen him play. He was a monster no matter where Lupoi stuck him, inside or out. If the Defensive coaches keep coaching these studs up the future is bright for the rest of the season. I know many of us were concerned about the defensive side of the ball this year but I think our prayers have been answered. Great effort but I really wonder how good Utah really is. They definitely didn’t scare me the entire game.

We all know this can be a great football team and today they beat a very good team with a great home field record in their own building. Extremely entertaining for me. I am usually one to not praise the positive and bring up the negative and today I had very few negative reactions. Go s

As long as the ducks stay aggressive and Bo and the defense play like that they will win out. If I am an opposing coach I am freaking out after watching film on the Ducks against Utah. Great team effort.

Most impressive stat for me was the Ducks OLine gave up no sacks and 1 tackle for loss. Game ball for me goes to the O line.

Witt returned the favor at the end but I still think we need to give TT reps. I wasn’t talking about running up the score. We could have sent anyone in to hand to a back. I don’t consider those plays reps.

Got to learn a lot about TT didn’t we. NOT. Just doesn’t make sense.

Starter should be on the way back to Eugene.

Offensive line played pretty well all game then BAM. Lost concentration I guess.

Best road game the Ducks have played in a long time. Came out aggressively and are continually playing that way. We still don’t know how good the utes are. I’m sure they will do better against our backups.

If we stay conservative on both sides of the ball the second half as we did at the end of the first it will be a huge challenge.

We need to stay aggressive. Those last plays were not. Bo hot ride him.

So far the Ducks look very good to say the least. Bo is throwing dimes.

That can’t happen

Very nice start indeed. Bo was on target.

I was a Bo fan when he was with Auburn. He was faced with coaching problems the Ducks never had even with slick and mc. The tigers had turned into a mess. I loved the fact he was coming to Eugene and so did he.

Although TT has a great arm and can be slippery running the ball he seems to lack the ability to play the position. Ty is a good example of inaccurate star ratings at the high school level. Herbert and MM were rated far lower than TT. Go figure.

Although baseball can be a grind, getting drafted in the nfl is tough business. Hope he finds his nitch whichever it may be. But if you you can hit a 95 mile per hour fast ball that is darting all over the place do it. Being good 1/3 of the time will make you tons of money in MLB.

Don’t know the answer to this but I wonder if Wit is Abel to hang on to his staff for many seasons. Seems like the Ducks are always chasing assistant coaches. This could make the difference. I expect Jon will know the answer if you get on this morning.

Maybe a Shetland Pony.

Most people that have been around sports all their lives are very intense, myself included. It’s entirely possible that the Mutt game has caused some sleepless nights for our young head coach. Understandable for sure. Dan knows he has made some mistakes and he probably would have done some things different now that he knows the outcome. If he becomes a touch more conservative I can totally get it. His goal is to win the rest of his games this year with a bunch of young men one at a time. The pack is toughest it’s ever been and we all know that. I doubt if the muts can stay undefeated the next five games. Some very tough outs ahead for them. Heck Dan may still have a belly ache since the mut game. I know I do. He is after all human and still very young. Hope he stays here a very long time and wins a lot of games and never looses to the muts again.

I didn’t realize uncle Phil was so big!

As far as the muts are concerned it’s hard for me to picture them winning out. Stanford is a gimme but Utah, SC, OS, and WSU are all quite capable of beating the mutskys.

If it is true that other teams come out more aggressive then is a simple reaction is to make them pay for their aggression. Wide receiver screens and runs parallel to the line of scrimmage are not the way to do it. Passes to tight ends and crossing routes however are. So far we’ve been predictable to start. Taking advantage of aggressive defenses has always been attacking them.

Great wake up call for #8 by #88. I could watch that 40 times. I’ll bet WSU coach used it more than once.
