Nix is carrying this team right now and willing this team forward.
Sometimes that is exactly what a quarterback needs to do..
Yep. That's what Mariota used to do for us... Hope the rest of the offense get inspired.

Looks like the Ex-Ducks coaches on the other side are more ready than Lanning and co... Hope we wake up soon!
-
Fun read that digs deep on Mario.

Two thoughts:
1. Star rating: Remember Bermister? That guy couldn't throw a spiral if his life depended on it. And he was a 4-star? Then of course Mariota and Herbert were both 3 stars? So the system is not to be relied upon.
2. I get why the coaches call conservative plays and use 2nd string players during garbage time. But with an unproven inexperienced QB, wouldn't it make more sense to call him some real plays and surround him with 1st stringers to get him some real experience? Sigh...

Where's Bucky?
I'm wondering the same. Hope he's not hurt!

It is good to be a qb at Oregon again, indeed!
Unless you are TT or JButter, that is... Don't really what to make of the situation, esp. with Nix performing at this level. He can stay one more year at OBD right? And we have another 5-star coming in?

Here is one word to describe the WSU team I saw Saturday - Creative! I have never seen so many trick plays in a game before. It's a wonder that OBD D kept up with them throughout the game... Without that INT, we all know what the outcome could have been... Whew!

Hopefully I don't jinx - but I feel that OBD this year under this coaching staff should be able to overcome Furd. No more prevent-O! I mean, even the fuskies beat them big...

Sorry if I miss someone already sharing this... This was icing on the cake for me Saturday after the OBD win.

Nix was throwing blocks, who doesnt love that?
Yeah, saw him do that in garbage time in Q4 when we were up 38-20. Couldn't believe my eyes! Definitely like hard-playing kids like that. Keep up the good work, Bo!

I only watched the start of the Miama-aTm game. Didn't see the result until today. During the first quarter, I was surprised that Mario's prevent-O seemed to be moving the ball well. They actually rarely ran up the middle into a pile like the OBD did last season. But I guess he must have let his tail shown later on in the game as his team managed only 9 pts. Ouch and good riddance!

Notre Dame's coach has only had the job for 3 games, 2 of those were last year's bowl game and this year against Ohio State. I'd give him a little more slack if I were a Notre Dame fan (I'm not).
Agreed - We are fans of both ND and OBD. It was tough to watch the game last Saturday. Their offense was very painful, similar the Mario prevent-offense. Freeman just didn't seem to have much of a clue and couldn't adjust (sound familiar?). So yeah, he may not last long there, but I would expect ND to give him at least a whole season if not more. They also might have lost their starting QB in the game. So this will be a tough season. Unfortunately we are flying there to see the Cal game this weekend. It would be our first ND game in person.
I guess we will at least get to experience the atmosphere of the large stadium and compare it with our experiences at Autzen. All else fails, we still get to see our daughter for a family reunion...

Ok, I am happy to see how wrong I was with my 17-13 score prediction. Go Ducks!

Alamo Bowl --- here we come!
Hoping for being on the other side of that 2015 game?

Unfortunately, Mario is having a "last laugh" moment now coz his team managed to win at tOSU... Also sad that this seems to be a continuation of the bad team at the end of last season - 4th blowout loss in 5 games.
If any bright side - this game is good for my bp, as there is absolutely no hope for OBD.

I am going to be honest - I think many of us dislike USC mostly because they are rich, prestigious and have more FB tradition and success. I got to think that played a huge part in his decision to defect. Understandable from his perspective. Hard pill to swallow for fans of OBD.
In this case, he handled it pretty well I think. No need for us to get worked up over this. We are bigger than him, aren't we?
-
All these hype and expectations are fun, but meaningless until next Saturday evening. On paper we have a great team, but didn't it feel the same last 2 years pre-season? We do need to cut Lanning some slack and try to avoid snap judgments like many of us levied on AB last season.
What a fun but again nerve-racking time to be an OBD fan! I wonder if it's like this be a Bama or tOSU fan?
-

I think being ranked 12 is about fair for the OBD this year. But if they lose to both GA and BYU, then they will definitely fall out of rankings and deservedly so. As fun as it is to look at these pre-season rankings, they are really meaningless over the long season...

In the end of the day, the length of the leash is entirely up to the coaches. It may be fun, but pointless for us to speculate and stress over this again. Remember last year? I bet most of us were frustrated as heck to see AB in all the games the whole time, especially the bowl game. But what do we know?

Stanford to South Bend, a short distance? "Only" a little over 2,000 miles?
That's what SC/UCLA are selling... By comparison, Furd's trip is shorter.
BTW, my wife and I are hoping to make the same short trip to watch this game, if the airlines cooperate. Last chance before our daughter graduates from ND!

Here is hoping that MM stays upright. As long as he does, he s/b successful. Sure makes my Sundays a lot more fun this fall, watching him and Herb. Great time to be a Duck!

This should make for an interesting competition for the upcoming season. Dante's been a starter from freshman to senior in high school and is considered a very polished recruit compared to other high school kids. It's possible he could push the rest of the QB room in the Fall, not saying he would start but he could conceivably leapfrog at least one of the other QBs in the pecking order.
Yep, I wonder how TT feels about this, esp. if he doesn't get to start this year. Oh boy, I feel bad for him - wasted talent no thanks to Mario...
