Desert Duck

Hmmm... In my pre-game Duck exuberance, I may have gotten a tad bit carried away with my 58-13 prediction. But who knows as it now is about 11 AM PST to the Duck body clock. They're definitely awake now and I'm looking for a 41 point 2nd half.

58-13 2 2 269 Ps. I'd like to apologize in advance to the exceptionally fine, and world class, educational institution known as Northwestern University for the very severe beat-down that OBD are going to give them tomorrow. Thank you.

At this moment, I'm thinking that if our blocking continues to be like it has been over the last couple games, that it almost won't matter if the defense even knew the play that was coming at them. But regarding whether to reveal the 'special' stuff, or not, my preference would be to save it for postseason, unless we get into a jam before then.

After only two weeks, if I was limited to only one word to describe what is most incredible to me about OBD, without question, it is 'BLOCKING.' I'm not sure the last time I have ever seen blocking like this, and I don't think I've ever seen it on an Oregon team -- not like this. After a couple of the early run plays on Saturday, I was saying to myself that our running backs had better be thanking their line for some amazing blocks. However, as the game continued on, it was evident that every single player, including the running backs, were laying down incredible blocks all game long. And, the blocks weren't just initial engagement contact, they were sustained and often they were taking their defender 10 to 15 yards down the field before stuffing them into the turf. I think we all knew that Oklahoma State was not going to put up more than, at best, 17 points, with most of those coming during garbage time. But I expected their defense to be at least half decent. So, at this point, I'm just wondering how great our offense really is. And even though we've been playing against subpar talent, this all just looks different.

Perhaps we should start punting on first down... just to give OSU a little mercy.

At the half, 235 passing and 238 rushing. Some might call that a balanced first half. And holy crapoly, the blocking is simply sick.

I need our Ducks to slow it down and give me only 11 more points, and to give up 14. 😁 52-17

But today, he'd have to say, “I’m a man. I’m 58!!” Time flies when you're having fun.

I realize OSU is not a good team. But holy cow... Oregon appears to just be damn good. At the half, 10 receivers has caught the ball, and 9 guys have run with it. Oregon has 6 TDs, and not one of them came off of a TO.

A freshman. Wowzaa!

So far, I'm thinking my 52 point Oregon prediction might have been a couple TDs low.

52-17 2 5 271

It's quite exceptional that Saban actually believed that he could sell such total horse crap to the college football community. The fear is strong in this one... and rightfully so.

Those are some excellent lyrics. And I love the nod to the Beach Boys.

"Is Oregon the Next Oklahoma State?" NO.
