I have a huge amount of respect for the UW football team. Penix is our Bo. Unlike Caleb Williams who seems as arrogant and self centered as you can get. UW beat the Ducks 3 times in a row of which 2 were this year. That hurts but the Ducks only have themselves to blame. The Fuskies won fair and square with better coaching. Lesser ranked players beat the Ducks. So much for rankings. I will be reluctantly rooting for the Fuskies to win only because I don't like MI more. It would be the same regardless of who's playing MI. I do want the Fuskies to lose but I want MI to lose worse. If it were the Beavus I'd be rooting for them as well. In bowl games I feel the need to root for the P12. It's the Pacs last dance so it needs to be the best. Oregon doesn't need WA to win to make Oregon losses look better but it won't hurt either.

If Dillon Johnson's not playing this will be a tough win for WA. And even then he's dinged up pretty good so he's not at full strength. I don't see WA pulling off a win with just Penix.

Ducks 49-20 2 turnovers 4 sacks 310 passing yards

Husky fans are saving their money for the CFP final against AL.

If Oregon brings their A game this game won't be close.

I don't want any glory going towards WA. Winning the P12 Champ game was enough.

Like the song by Sade. Never as good as the first time.

It's a good thing the beavis did a reset offset with their stadium expansion and reduced the seating capacity. It won't look so empty when it's half full.

One and done like NCAAM. Not good IMO

Gabriel sets the tone for next year. Moore would be the icing on the cake. If Gabriel got injured Moore could step in and be decent enough to win some games depending on the opponent. Getting Moore would set the Ducks up for the next 4 years. 🤞 I watched a highlight video of Gabriel. Like mentioned he's a gamer like Bo. Definitely not a drop back pocket passer. Very mobile and has a strong arm. QB will not be the weak link for the Ducks next season.

There's little college north of us that could use him.

30 years in construction taught me one thing. Until my company had a job box on the job we didn't have it. Lots of got this job got that job, blah blah blah. I feel the same about portal player rumors. Until they sign then it's just click bait. Fun the read about though as it shows how far the Ducks have come. But most of the time it's 🤞

I agree on the one and done scenario. It would be much better to get at least two years like we did with Bo. But you play the cards you're dealt. A seasoned one and done will be more productive next year vs a Soph with 1 year of experience. Big money on the line and the best bang for the buck is Gabriel. Interesting point to ponder is this is TT's 3rd QB transition situation where he's being passed over. Is he just not that good? You would think that after following Brown and then Bo for two years he'd be ready to take over the job.

Season tickets all day long. Looking at the extended forecast for Glendale it doesn't look all that great. If it were the semi in the CFP then that might be worth it. This game could very well be over by the mid 2nd qtr. Next seasons home games are great and 8 total.

It's like this every bowl season. Players don't play for various reasons. It could be worse, the Ducks could be playing an OK or MO and still not have a decent roster. I say bring on Liberty with a weak roster and play some football.

So a 4*-5* QB may as well go to a lesser school. Put in their dues then transfer to a top school. At least they'll get playing time.

Times have changed from when transfers would have to sit out a year. Back then you played who you recruited. Now with the NIL, portal and $$$$$$$ paid to coaches and staff, it's about winning it all today not a couple years down the road. No more fingers crossed that a 4*-5* player pans out. Spend the big $ and get in the mix now. As a fan I like it much better being able to have a team that's going to be highly competitive year in and year out. As a player I think it could be frustrating. It's like 3 steps forward and 2 back when you're almost the guy then they grab a player from the portal that takes your spot.

I think we'll find out a lot about each coach when they reload for next year. Both coaches had two of the best seasoned QB's in college football. That may be hard to replicate.

Not to mention the payout. $$$$

Remember when Boise St beat OK in the 2007 Fiesta bowl? Is Liberty the Boise St of the east? Probably not but I'll be watching to find out. It's always been my feeling that bowl games are a reward for a team's hard work. Getting to the Fiesta Bowl is a much bigger reward than going to the Independence Bowl. One thing I find interesting is fans will watch Oregon play Portland St but balk when Oregon's set to play Liberty in the Fiesta Bowl. Fickle?

Any player contemplating leaving for the NFL or any seniors leaving for the NFL would be crazy to play in this game. Good game for Ty though.

Yeah it's a joke without a punchline.

I'm seeing Missouri vs Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl.

It's never too late when you take back the lead.

Where we the deep passes? Maybe I missed them? Franklin got hurt early and Tez was, except for a few plays a non factor. Bucky showed signs of season fatigue and JJ looked fresher and stronger. Why wasn't he given the ball more? Play calling seemed bland. Hate to say but DL and staff have a KD and staff problem that may be there for a while. Kinda like when Pete was at USC. Not that the Ducks go dominated but they just made to many errors from coaching to execution. WA played as good a game as possible. More prepared and focused IMO. I have to admit the P12 officiating surprisingly seemed pretty fair. Penix, Oduze and McMillon were a load to handle last night. WA just might win it all in the CFP which will be tough to watch.
