The Kamikaze Kid

I had a great time last night talking with my fellow Duck fans and forum friends. I also really enjoyed the excellent presentation by Mr FishDuck himself. Lanning's complex defensive schemes are smash mouth poetry in motion and a joy to watch. It was great to see the well explained breakdown on many of the techniques used to create so much havoc at the line of scrimmage. I look forward to looking for these details tonight. It was also great getting a well detailed look into Will Stein's blocking schemes. It was interesting to see how both similar and divergent from Kelly's attack they are. Thanks again for all the work you do to make this a great place to both learn about the tactics used by our elite coaching staff and have great discussions with fellow Duck fans without the barrage of trolls just trying to kill the buzz. Go Ducks!

UO 66-27 3 TOs 5 Sacks 345 yards passing

In summary, here are the main pregame story lines. Lanning, while working up his team like sharks in a feeding frenzy, calls SUC soft. SUC fans lose their minds over it. SUC QB cries in mamma's arms on national TV. SUC fires D coordinator for soft defense. SUC defensive player casually admits to not watching game film. SUC coaches confirm no film session this week. Sorry SUC but this week, it sucks to be you.

Isaiah Thomas once told a story of life growing up in the Chicago projects. He said one day a group of mean kids wanted to beat him up and he ran home and told his mom. She said he had to go back outside and fight or he'll never gain respect on the streets so he did. No binkies in the Thomas home but their are some NBA championship trophies.

What does points per game even matter when the Ducks are just running out the clock by the mid third quarter and SUC is scratching and clawing till the final second to avoid defeat every week?

The problem with that plan is giving the ball to Bucky against that Swiss cheese defense will become a score much quicker than five minutes!

Let's not forget that UO is usually in cruise control by around the middle of the third quarter. By comparison, SUC is usually desperately attempting to fend off defeat week after week until the final play. While the Ducks are basically killing time by giving reps to their 4th and 5th string backs, SUC has Williams out there in panic mode working to get every yard and point they can.

The Ducks will be able to portal in a top 10 rated QB if they want. If TT has arrived and is the five star super stud he's supposed to be, he should be able to beat out a top 10 rated QB. Either way, UO should have a top 10 rated QB running the show next year.

Bucky gets 200 yrds by halftime. James gets 200 yrds by the end of the 3rd qtr. Dowdell/ Limar combine for 200 yrds by end of game.

Remember when Miami stole our coach, SUC hired a coach that was going to rule the PAC while UO was stuck with a coordinator with no head coaching experience? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

UO 57-13 4 TOs 4 Sacks 285 Passing yards

And here I thought loses were only because players just didn't physicality enough.

I think Bo didn't see a wide open receiver on that ill fated fourth down play. I think he feels responsible for the outcome and is now determined to lead this team across the finish line.

Can SUC humiliate themselves and blow yet another winnable game? I have faith that they can.

They just out Utah'd Utah at Utah. Easier said than done.

At this point, I'd say UO's biggest key to victory is that they have become more Utah than Utah. They pretty much own the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball against everybody AND the Ducks take D about as serious as anybody. Since Lanning's 0% chance of victory game against UGA, the only way the Ducks have lost is through bad outcomes on bad gambles. When Lanning puts away the checkerboard and starts playing poker, the Ducks will become a top two or three ranked mainstay.

If that list includes some solid QB1s, I'd be a happy Duck fan.

When UO plays in The Big House next year, I hope they signal in the fake statue of liberty play again and again!

UO 24-17 1 TO 3 Sacks 245 Passing yards

Once the expanded playoff format begins, I'd expect an NIt type next level playoff to appear. Having the top 12-16 play plus the next 12-16 teams playing gives you up to 24-32 teams in playoff games. Bowls have become meaningless but playoffs are where legends are made and pro scouts can see what players are made of in pressure situations.

SUC’s next game is with Cal. Another tough defensive team with just enough offense to move the ball on a bad defense. Expect even more hilarious melt down heartbreak this week.

Found footage of an isolated camera on #8 during the play.

ASU had a solid top 10 team go in and beat the crud out of their opponent the week before. That usually helps.

The best thing about the SUC vs CU game was that both teams exposed each other in both halves as being fake.

Question: What is the proper time in the current failed season's schedule for a SUC fan to declare themselves next year's championship favorite?
