Just a thought... has anyone identified any new plays the Ducks ran in the rose bowl? I may have missed it but i don't recall reading anything about it. I only ask because it's been widely said that the play book was slowly opened or delayed because of the long season, which makes sense. I'd be curious of changes made, really, by both sides of the ball if any. Should anyone know of this analysis, please reference it.

Take this for what it's worth, but it does give me hope/peace about the game, if it's true. My daughter came home today and told me about a manager in the company she works for that went to the rose bowl. She said she sitting in a box seat next to a doctor during the game. The interesting thing about this is the doctor said that he and several others were called to the locker room for assistance. Apparently many of the team were sick and throwing up. She then shared with my daughter that she doesn't know if it was true, but that the doctor seemed to be genuine and that she could see Duck players throwing up on the sideline. I heard something similar after the CCG, so who knows. I wonder if anyone has heard about this?

It was fun while it lasted. I do think the layoff was to long and made a difference in the first quarter. I also believe that DG was out of sink even when he had time in the pocket, he was not seeing the field and was gun shy. I do think they made good adjustments but it was to little to late because the deficit was to great forcing them to be predictable. I hope that the coaches really evaluate and learn how to fix what was broken in this game. Hats off to this great team and to their great year.

I hate to say this but DG has missed seeing wide open receivers and open running lanes. I think he's playing hero ball at times or running scared....

I can't believe how many "non-calls" there are. Texas is getting away with murder

The duck defense is far from "overrated"! There is only one loss between these two teams this year. One! This should be a dog fight, this is a championship fight! I promise you that when the Ducks win, and they will, the rest of the playoff field will be worried...

I hate to say this but unless they do what they haven't done most of the season ... come out and score in the 3rd... they will loose this game.

It's really looking more like Tez is really important to the offense... motivation wise beyond skills I mean

I know the team is up but... it sure seems like they are loosing focus as the game goes on. What a mess that last few minutes were.

Run it down their throat

Wow what a return! If only the o line could pull it together

Two fumbles in a row! Thw o-line is loosing this game

I know things won't always go the Ducks way but the o line is bad... that is all

I was hoping that the trees would be gone but I really like this new design. The truth is that you can't please everyone. I don't believe you could get closer to accomplishing that than they did with this new court.

Yes 3-0 Ducks

Not going to happen!

Thank you Charles for all you do. I have had the same issues you mentioned when using my phone. However as much as I, like you, dislike this nonsense, I will not give up this fantastic sanctuary you have created. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Well there's that.

Back to the predictable play calling

How is that even allowed for the defense to go out of bounds then step in to pick the pass

Ok friends, I'm not a Debbie downer but it's going to take a miracle for OBD to win this game.

That was a PI holding Franklin's left arm down.

It was a thing of beauty for sure!

--the winner Ducks --the score 45 - 17 --the amount of turnovers Oregon creates 3 --the number of sacks Oregon records on the opposing team 3 --the number of passing yards by the Ducks. 341

I love how he doesn't see himself as "above that" and does what is needed in the moment. That is a leader right there.
