Gotta love how the refs missed that wide receiver hold on that touchdown play. He was just dragging the Utah DB backwards.
my thought too. But seems like more and more they allow that hand full of jersey and you pretty much have to tackle someone to get called for holding.

Utah on Offense: They just might pull this off.
Utah on Defense: Maybe not.
So hard to watch our defense get pushed around. Coach Whittingham is a hard nosed, no nonsense defensive guy. Its just so out of character to see us weak on D.

Don't know if maybe this has already be discussed (haven't read much on the forum today) but I'll bet it seems weird to you guys to see Travis Dye in a Trojans uniform. Such an old school hard working, hustling kid. And if I remember right there was no clear reason given as to why he transferred.
Won't likely play at the next level. Seems to be just working hard and playing hard for the college memories.

most exciting game I've watched in a long time. Sad to say it but isn't a team in the PAC 12 right now that plays even remotely close to that level of football.

Can't help but think how weird it is to be a ute fan on a duck forum on an in game thread against USC. thanks for having me around here.

Be glad your ducks have a defense. So hard to sit here and root for a team that has a good offense and no defense.

Uncle Phil gave over a billion dollars to OHSU to build the Knight Cancer Center. That's doing something that really makes a difference. But I don't begrudge anyone from using the pink to draw attention to it. With so much toxicity in the world right now it's nice to see anything that's positive.

At the beginning of the season I would probably have been willing to bet someone a thousand bucks that we could beat you. After watching UCLA not only beat us but physically punish us I have some serious doubts....especially about our defense. Strange to see them get pushed around like that. And in the close up shots of their faces and body language you could see they were intimidated as the game wore on. Not used to that.

So tell us Freddy, who ya pulling for? We're all marvelous guys and gals here, we won't bite! We may Quaaaaak! But we don't bite.
I'll be pulling for UCLA. If you guys beat them, it will mean that you will probably crush us when we play. If you guys lose to UCLA we still have a chance against you. I got about 3 hours sleep last night so I hope that made sense.

I'm a Ute fan.......I'd be a bit worried about them if I were a duck fan. They not only beat us, they were a LOT more physical than we were. That hasn't happened to a Ute team in a long time.
I'll bet it's a great game that comes down to the final minutes. Looking forward to it and I'll be nervous and excited even though I have no dog in the fight.

That was hard to watch. Our defense is usually so stout. Looks like you guys are going to have your hands full in two weeks.

But he's a great recruiter.

I'll give him an A as a very early interim grade because:
1. This is his FIRST ever head coaching job....imagine what an incredible leap that is at any level let alone coming to a program with the expectations that are at Oregon. Think of your first day nervousness walking into a new job. Then imagine how he had to have felt walking into this. Excited yes, but it still has to be pretty overwhelming. i can picture him laying in bed at three in the morning staring at the ceiling and saying to his wife "can you freakin' even believe I'm the head football coach at the University of Oregon? How did I get from waiter at Outback Steakhouse to this. Can I really do this?" and her saying "go back to sleep. You've got a team meeting early tomorrow."
2. He's won the games he was expected to win. Not pretty but he has the "W's" and has created some momentum.
All that said, it is way too early to even have any clue whatsoever about what kind of HC he'll be in the long run. I think it'll take at least two seasons to truly get an accurate read on him.

Interesting thing about the beavs is as I have matured, and grown in understanding programs I have been able appreciate and support the beavs when they aren't playing the Ducks.
The beavs program and their fans seem to move in the opposite direction. Growing up it seemed they were much more understanding and even supportive of our Ducks.
Now the adults I know can't stand the Ducks, at all. They want our Ducks to lose every game, won't wear green even on St. Paddy's Day.
Not sure what that says about either program nor their fans, but that is what I see.
I used to feel that way about Oregon too. The reason? During the Chip Kelly era when you guys were in the hunt for national championship's I knew one or two really, really, really obnoxious and arrogant Duck fans at my place of employment. I made the stupid mistake of painting all Duck fan's with that same brush. Then I stumbled upon this FishDuck board and was pretty blown away at how classy y'all are. Totally changed me. I'll be rootin' for ya (until you play Utah).

I haven't read this whole thread yet so maybe this has already been covered, but here's my take.....
I think Oregon's biggest challenge this week is to stay injury free. Play the starters long enough to get the win and then get them the heck on the bench.

Remember when Nix was at Auburn and broke your heart at the end of the game? he gunna do the same thing to cougs.

Hang in there you guys there's still a chance for a comeback. Small, but it's still there.

Coug's at home start strong feeding off of the crowd with a lot of energy and excitement. Score is surprisingly close at halftime and Duck fans are a bit nervous. In the second half the Duck's superior talent and physicality takes over and wears down the over-matched Cougars.

Oregon
24-10
2 TO's
3 Sacks

BYU comes out flat and tired on the road after big emotional win last week. Oregon still hungry to reclaim their reputation after losing so big to Georgia.
