Oh, I guess they decided that it wasn't targeting... anyone have insight on the targeting rule in general? It's quite confusing how it's enforced
-
With 1:38 left... Verone McKinley gets ejected for the first half of the next game for targeting. Dude.... also, why is the first team defense out? This is garbage time.

If AB could throw that then Franklin would have a TD. Ridiculous.

AB back to missing every pass again. Is there something really wrong with his technique or what?
-
AB threw that pass? Am I dreaming? That was beautiful.

Ohio State defense is getting exposed the same exact way the Ducks offense exposed them.
Obviously Harbaugh watched that film over and over.
They are attacking the edges with their run game and with short passes time and time again. When Ohio State tries to stack the box they throw it over the top. Great game plan from Harbaugh and his coordinators today.
Any given Saturday eh? 35-20 Michigan with 9:14 to go.
I was thinking the same thing. It looks so much like the game plan that Oregon drew up against them. No way Michigan would win this game without OBD providing the blueprint earlier this season.

Yes, but that doesn’t account for poor play calling, nor MC’s inability to look beyond his favored QB. No doubt injuries have hurt, but Brown throwing bad check down passes on third down and running down the clock when you need to go fast is inexcusable.
Yeah, I can't say I understand MC's decision to stick with AB... doesn't MC know that we need to face Georgia early next season and that TT could really use some experience.
How come TT didn't even get garbage time play? -
Oh well. Still love our Ducks. This was a tough game but hopefully it'll be a humbling moment for MC that will help him to make some important changes and benefit the program in the long run.

Replay showed Brown hit him in the hands.
I saw that and DW definitely should have made that catch. I just thought it was strange that the commentator says the coaches were trying to sequester DW from AB. DW wouldn't be justified being upset on that particular throw but there were definitely some other connections that AB should've made with DW.
-
Did anyone catch the commentator mentioning that "I think the coach told Williams to stay away from Brown"?
If the coaches have to tell the WR's to stay away from the QB because he doesn't make the throws he needs to make... then why is he the starting QB?-

WaterPolo...I am not checking through 150 posts, but this was a reminder to everyone is all.
Fair enough. My apologies. I didn't think about that. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this game.

For a coach who prides himself on his big, bad OL, the fact that we barely ran the ball in the first half clearly shows MC's limitations as a coach. In no way could Moorhead be behind this complete 180 in play calling. He is not that stupid, nor would MC let him. MC is a heck of a recruiter though. All those 4-5 stars look great running around without the ball in their hands.
Do the rest of you guys think that MC took his trust back out of Moorhead's hands this game and that's what we're seeing in the playcalling? I know JM has expressed hesitancy in praising AB and it wouldn't surprise me if MC was limiting him.

Oregon's luck was bound to run out. All the people claiming that Oregon has the best win of the 2021 season will hopefully shut up now. It doesn't matter what you do in week 2 if you cannot win in week 10, 11, 12, etc...
MC needs to do something different if he's ever going to get Oregon to the promise land. He has to make tough choices for the better of the program. Whatever that is.
What's the definition of insanity? ... MC clearly doesn't know.
Good win, Utah. Tough loss, Ducks.
Move on.
There is one more team to face next week... And if we win, then it will still be a good season for a true Duck fan.
Go Ducks!
Agreed... and then AB throws a near interception that was way off target... as if to drive the point home.
-
Please let me know Mr FishDuck if I got personal towards our team at all in the GameDay Thread. I don't think I did but I'm slightly torqued right now by the team so I just want to double check.

MC doesn’t know what to do when down. It’s 1-0 each play, even when you are down 28. Drives me crazy.
Right? Ground and pound does not work down 28...
Also... that could have been a scoop for 6 the opposite direction.... ugh!

MC has hit his ceiling. Don't tell me it's injuries, this is fully out coached by a great coach. 3x best Pac recruiting class means nothing if you don't coach them up. Could finish 12-2 but bark rats gotta be smelling blood. Get to the Rose and a B1G team will destroy us. Pittman leaving not a good sign. If AB is our best chance to win this year, future not so bright. ABs 2 yard throws, and under thrown and over thrown 1st downs is pathetic, sorry. Delay if game again? Just not prepared. MC will not bring us a natty
I think we have a shot at a natty... if MC gets advisors that tell him what to do in certain situations. Can Uncle Phil bring some more of those in?
And yes, we need to coach them up. How is TT not a better chance to win than AB? An elite coach would have subbed out AB after halftime-

The receivers are starting to show their frustration with him, I can't say I blame them. He tossed an easy one to Devon Williams' feet on one play then threw it behind Troy Franklin almost immediately after. AB really needs to take a breath and get it together.
Why is MC running out the clock between plays? We need to get all of the plays off that we can... they just let the 3rd quarter run out.
Who runs out the clock down 28?
And yeah, the receivers are clearly frustrated. That's likely why we lost 2 WR commits and MP. -

How did Cristobal not see the need to bench AB during halftime?

I dont mean to be down on AB but what QB have we played against that is worse than him?
Stony Brook's QB?

Absolutely no reason to not okay Ty. Browns style, even if firing on all cylinders can it score fast enough to make a come back work. MC is too stubborn to do it, so accept a 49-0 score and get on the bus.
There is no way that we can score enough points fast enough without being able to pass it more than 4 yards with any certainty... and as we saw on that dump off pass 4 yards only has a minor degree of certainty of completion with AB passing it.
At least TT can sling it down the field, even if he's not polished yet, and give us a shot. -

Hoping for a huge torch being lit under butts, adjustments, and 2nd half resilience.
Will have to be epic.
If that doesn't happen. Bench AB the rest of the year and get the backup QBs reps for next year.
Maybe this is the opportunity the coaches will take to get TT some time... we need it to be prepped for Georgia next year.
Good side is that with all of this youth getting experience it will help next season... let's make sure TT is one of them getting experience.-

Yes, every single starter should be pulled at this point. OSU is now attacking our players. DUDE!
