Prediction Contest: Boy Were We All Off!
Steven A replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Good news, the only ones who we "Boy were we all off" were the one picking the Utes. -
Give Utah Credit - They 'Solved' the Oregon Running Puzzle
Steven A replied to Mic's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I think they only solved the Nix can't hurt us with his legs offense. As for our D, got the win, only gave up 10 points. But also lucky on 4th down passes to the feet of Kincaid and the later slant over the middle that Thorton or Bucky would have caught. Of course, kudos for creating those 4th downs with GREAT 3rd downs. On a night where our O was playing Mari-ball score wise, better to be lucky than good. -
Remember, St. Saban: 1) Called for outlawing hurry-up offenses for player safety . . . until he got the players and coaches to use it. 2) Is calling for a 9 game league schedule . . . that can't be implemented until after he retires due to current scheduling.

Oregon Football: Let’s Pump the Brakes on Trick Plays
Steven A replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
"That was poor. It didn’t work out well, obviously. I’m glad that didn’t cost us the game, but great learning moment for me and our staff." DL Glad to see that quote and I guess the coaches "medicine" this week wasn't as nasty tasting as last weeks. -
Oregon's Path to the Playoffs Is Not Far Fetched
Steven A replied to Southwest Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Didn't/don't see that coming. Hope you are right, but I worry about a one loss BIG runner up. If it is Michigan, I think their loss to osu would still have them a few spots ahead of us with no games to play. Same with 'Bama whose only losses were 3 pts to Tenn on the road and OT at LSU. -
Oregon's MINDBENDING Defensive Performance
Steven A replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I guess it is a great game when I didn't need valium until 13:14 of the 3rd Qtr, and 1 was enough. -

Ducks vs Utah: Game-Prep Article Thread
Steven A replied to Pennsylvania Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Oregon's performance vs Utah could define Ducks 2022 season 247SPORTS.COM What makes college football so awesome is the roller coaster of emotions a team and its fanbase can go through. An awesome roller coast has a big climb at the start of -
Hoping for a Great Game (and a Ute Victory)
Steven A replied to FreddyD's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
The first question is, is Lanning looking at Auburn? I sure as heck don't think so and have seen nothing CREDIBLE that would indicate he is. Additional questions are whether Dillingham the candidate is interesting in being THE candidate with the unknown sanctions pending and better jobs in the future opening. I realize it would be a homecoming for him, but ask Willie how'd that work out for him. I think in Mari's case, he'll survive quite a bit longer. -
Ducks vs Utah: Game-Prep Article Thread
Steven A replied to Pennsylvania Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
The Ducks who must perform well to beat Utah 247SPORTS.COM The Oregon Ducks are gearing up for their final home game of the season, and they'll take on a Top 10 program in Utah that beat them twice in three weeks last season to -
Win: your brilliant or LUCKY. Lose: your not or UNLUCKY . Win: you out-coached your opponent or were LUCKY, lose: you were out-coached or UNLUCKY. That's fans, media and critics from the other perspective. He who wins gets to write the history.

It will be interesting to see how this time line plays out with the media contracts. -
Ducks vs Utah: Game-Prep Article Thread
Steven A replied to Pennsylvania Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Oregon ready for 'knock back tackle game' against Utah 247SPORTS.COM It's no secret that in the last few years, Utah has used its tight end room like few schools in the country. Dalton Kincaid and Brant Kuithe have turned into an incredible -
Dan Lanning Weekly Press Conference | November 14, 2022
Steven A replied to Pennsylvania Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
You are correct, but he also was burned earlier in the game on the long TD, and was he part of the "mis-communication" vs Colorado? -
I think that player baited Bo when he saw the formation and knew what was coming. I'm not sure we will ever see a targeting call on a below the waist tackle.

Tough Question: Are These the Right Defensive Coaches?
Steven A replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Lanning has been around a large number of coaches and compiled a list of who he would hire. So, based upon all the other hires, I'll trust in this one also. -
The Head Coach is Brilliant...When?
Steven A replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
This onside kick would have worked had it not been kicked so far. The ewe dub defender seemed to backtrack more than the UCLA guys. The ball just went almost 5 yards further. I was Ok with it, since we weren't stopping them anyway. The play Nix got hurt on, we were baited into that run. They "showed" the same D to the same formation Nix scored on, Hind sight indicates a Nix jump pass to a TE would have been nice to see there. Just like a naked bootleg by TT on 4th. -
Tough Question: Are These the Right Defensive Coaches?
Steven A replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I think it is a combo between players and coaching. You coach what you have to their strengths. If your DBs are weak, you need to shield them with your line and LB play. If you can't due to personnel, you're screwed. I would think with the players and supposed coaching chops we have, a better result should be happening. Not record wise, just scoring and yardage wise. -
Sure as heck hope NOT, hate to root for usc. If we get Bo back and healthy, I think not.

Per Canes Insight: 7 McGee at Miami Campus
Steven A replied to Pennsylvania Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
He might have to change his name to "three" to match an average rush or reception. -
Hell, if I were Dillingham that pole would reach from Eugene to Tempe and then extend out to push that job/rumor over the edge of the universe.

TT's 5* was not a consensus and one site that gave him that rating also said some of it was based upon potential. It would be nice to see what he could do with a full playbook and the first team around him. Of course, according to our "coach speak" 1A, B & C was not clear cut in the spring or early fall . . . yeah, right.

Correct. However, I thought the replay showed our player with the ball firmly in his hands and stomach with the WR grasping for it. But, we'll never know.
