The Civil War will always be a trap game, that's for sure, especially when played in Corvallis.

Speaking of the rodents, that's a probable loss in my book coz we play in their nest/lodge this year. If he can put together 1 good game a year, J. Smith will lay it on the Ducks, regardless of the players he got.

Cool. Hope to see him play more next season. Fingers crossed that he beats out whoever they may draft at No. 8 overall pick. Good time to be a Dux fan with 2 starting QBs in the NFL.

No. It really is hard to get excited about NIT. Even if one wins it all, they are still No. 69 in the country, right?

If Marcus becomes QB1 there, I will call them SeaChickens no more!

Totally agree, especially with DTR as QB and Chip as coach. That's my first reaction to the news as well. Will see...

How about the Reser Stadium? Back on the topic - Looks like all SEC schools finally play one OOC game at their level at least... Kudos.

Maybe KT is trying to be smart and learn from Herbert and Mariota - don't be a No 1 pick. #6 seems like a sweet spot?

MC is a great recruiter for sure. Got to give him that! Gattis probably could have stayed and become the HC at Mich, no? Agree with everyone here that it seems like a stupid move on his part.

Think both Dollars and Benson are out, per Oregonian - "Their departures leave Oregon with four scholarship running backs and 82 scholarship players overall on its roster for 2022, though Travis Dye and CJ Verdell are among the players automatically entered in this year’s NFL Draft and have until Feb. 4 to opt out if they choose to return for their senior seasons. Byron Cardwell Jr. and Seven McGee are entering their sophomore seasons."

I love the graphic, but isn't it misleading? Looks like Oregon won the natty, LOL.

Well, Staley really must have hidden his brilliance very well last night - Just a couple of examples off the top of my head: Kicking FG on 4th down from near mid-field, while going for it on own 18? Calling that timeout in OT to help Raiders decide to beat you instead of settling for tie?

Sam ‘Taki’ Taimani, Washington Huskies starting defensive lineman and key transfer, commits to Oregon Ducks - oregonlive.com Break?

That's my thought exactly when it was announced a month ago. This guy is as incompetent as MC. In fact, may be more because the problem with our air game was at least partly on him since he is the receiver coach. Clearly AB was somewhat capable of long balls, at least half a game at a time, but it just wasn't in our playbook most of the season.

I think we should count Utah in the mix for Pac-12 to succeed. They need to take care of their non-conf biz and continue to beat up teams like Ducks (hope not...). They have a great coach who really can develop players and take them to unexpected heights. Furd could also be back with improved recruiting and their coaching. But of coz with Pac-12 beating each other up all the time, only max 2 teams will emerge and end up in top 10 probably. Even that I may be dreaming.

When you are at the rock bottom, the only way to go is up.

Would make a great FB score, LOL...

This is the kind of talk that sowed so much discontent for the 2021 Ducks season. I agree we do have the aim high. But tamper the expectations though, with the new coaching staff and inexperience.

Yes, this bowl loss is a fitting summary of the MC era. It's clear that he couldn't have taken us any further than Rose Bowl win even with a talent like Herbert. Sucks to have to wait 9 whole months to see what we could accomplish under the new HC. Makes you think about how short life is...

This sums it up. Fans were disappointed and even booed because we all saw that and couldn't understand why we were not playing the other QBs who were supposed to be more talented.

Yay, no mud stains!

OU 42-21, 1, 1, 120. Game is probably over by half time and I wouldn't expect a miracle turnaround like TCU did to us last time...

BB definitely got the raw deal when he was here. I am surprised that he is transferring as I thought he was very well accepted at VT and has played well, up to his skill level. His throws are still wobbly as heck, but he runs well. Personally, I am wondering if MC didn't play TT because he was trying to avoid the same mistake with BB... If true, that means these recruiting ratings hold way too much water. BB was a 4-star, so was Shough.

Oh no. I must admit that other than that one game in 2019, I haven't watched BN play at all. But again, if TT or others can't beat BN to start, then we really do have a QB problem.

Yes, very entertaining indeed. I watched the 58 seconds and got bored so I changed channel yesterday.... Misery loves company, so I am glad also struggled against a team from that state!
