Possibly some. But, I do not picture any ELETE players wanting to go to a complete rebuild like ASU.

The Special Teams were a huge reason for this loss. Not only the fumbled punt. But, Hudson's two errors on kick returns left us with very long fields. If we're replacing one coordinator... we may as well replace our special teams coordinator as well.

DLs gambles just made for a miserable week for most of us. All the closet Beaver fans will now let their voices be heard. Thanks coach Dan.

Noah was shocked Bo kept that ball. Bad read by Bo. That being said. Coach should have punted that ball.

No. You can keep him!

My beaver brother is still whining about Franklin's catch.

ABC even calls it the Civil War.

The Civil War of Oregon Football.... We'll call it The Civil War for short.

Ducks 45-17 2 TO 4 Sacks 243 passing... another 287 rushing. STATEMENT GAME!

I did a quick Google search. This is a new location going into the old Pier 1 spot in the Oakway Center. Nice location.

Love Killer Burger. Anyone know where this will be located?

I think I'm to old to stomach this. Real life Fantasy Football. No thanks!

Let's just drop the "Civil" and call it "The War".

Just reminisce of 2021. I'm sure you'll feel better.

I agree that running your Heisman-ish QB into the gut of the defense is reckless and overly aggressive. But, Bo does not become a Heisman hopeful QB without taking chances. We all have known that Bo has been running on a razors edge all year (between reckless and brilliance). It is this edge that has given the Ducks the advantage over every team that had to prepare for them. We must accept that football IS and ALWAYS has been a dangerous sport. Injuries happen. It sucks. But, it is all part of the game we all love. Bo accepts this... as does everyone of those players in the green and yellow (etc.) uniforms. We ALL wanted an exciting offense again. We have it. Now, we must accept that having this offense comes with some inherit risks. We as fans need to remember the situation this coaching staff inherited. We put enormous pressure on this staff to compete. Not just for wins. But, for National Championships. That does not happen without pushing limits of body and mind. This staff has done that better than any of us could have honestly expected and did so right out of the gate. As Charles stated in his article of Lanning and Dillingham "Both know a ton more football than I (us) ". They did this by taking risks and wrapping them into schemes. I'm a 53 year old man who lives life far safer than in my youth. It warms me to see younger people still willing to take risks. Especially, when they are doing it as a Duck and for the Duck faithful. Dan Lanning will learn from this. But, I hope that he never looses that edge that allows him to take risks. Even if from time to time they seem ill advised to us fans.

I'm still pulling for both of them to lose. Annually the two most overhyped teams in CFB. I can not stand either of those programs.

KTMguy2018 (great handle) I too watched the game twice. I agree with all your assessments. Thornton was the only player who seemed to be able to make adjustments on that cold/slick turf. Cam proved how much being a Duck means to him with that effort. Bo solidified his place in Oregon history. So grateful he chose Eugene for his final year. I was also very pleased with the entire defensive effort. Huge step forward.

Bo gutted it out... but, his comment about the defense winning this game was his greatest moment. Respect!

Oregon 35-31 1 2 301

Miami- 98 yards total offense!

Never a truer statement!

I agree this was the game. I can not definitively say it was a bad call. But, it sure looked like a bad call. The game should never be in the hands of the refs that late in the game. Especially when playing in the Pac12. A few better decisions earlier in the game would have made this call more manageable. I'm confident our brilliant, young, first year coach, will use this as a learning experience and do better in the future. That being said... Washington has themselves a good coach. They will remain a substantial rival in the future. Our Ducks, UW, and Utah will all be very competitive in the years to come.

Crepea definitely has an ego and it shows in his questioning. But, without him asking the hard questions we would get the same report from the coach every week. No one else asks those questions. At least this way we can see/hear DL talk about his players. We learn how much he cares for this team. We understand how quick witted and intelligent Coach Lanning is. I for one enjoy getting to understand the coach this way. I respect him more by how he answers Crepea's questions than if those questions were never asked. I'm not a fan of Crepea's personality either. But, his character flaws contrast nicely to DL's attributes. This makes for some great quotes.

Coach DL handled those questions about as well as he could. He knows this team (including coaches) have some work to do. I appreciate the depth of some of those questions. He definitely knows he is dealing with a knowledgeable fan base that demands more than just coaches talk. I appreciate that he protects his players the way he does without making excuses for them.
