Only 8 sacks on Penix all year. We've already got him for 1 sack with 10 minutes to go in the first.

T-minus 2-hours & 2-minutes... I'm just sayin!

Exactly. And somehow it is always an intern that does it:-)

The articles I saw about Ward going to Oregon have mysteriously disappeared. I wonder if this is a rumor that just got out of control. But I sure love the idea of him coming to Oregon if that happens.

That is a great point regarding Penix and running... or rather, not running. On the year, he has had 25 carries, for a net minus -14 yards.

Some other good Penix news is that of his 8 Int's on the season, 5 of these have been over the course of his last 6 games. And he easily could have had 2 more picks last week. Also, the dude is almost a zero run threat. For the entire season, he has attempted 25 carries for -14 yards... Yes, that's minus -14 yards for the entire year.

Somebody has a good sense of humor.

"My name is Cliff Harris, and I'm here to lock sh!tte down.'' That is such an all time favorite Duck quote for me.

For the right amount of NIL money, I'm guessing he'd don just about anything.

I believe that began on Saturday with some guy named Stewart 😉

Ducks 42-32 1 2 374

Which is funny to me because 42-32 is my score prediction for the game tomorrow night.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say yes.

No idea why y'all are so nervous about this game. The only thing on the line is a trip to the college football playoffs, a shot at the National Championship, and some ol' trophy that they call the Heisman. Just another average, run of the mill, Friday night.

There is one group that I'm confident is definitely not underestimating the Huskies... and that is the Duck football team. And fortunately, they're the only group that matters.

That's just a fabulous video. We sat on the 40 for that Oregon-Kansas State Fiesta Bowl, and I will never forget DAT and that opening play kickoff return for a TD, with him breaking the tape.

Actually - I kinda forgot and overlooked that, in addition to Arizona, UW played one other Top 20 team, and won... I like to sometimes block out bad memories 😉

Oregon is seriously due to get some help from some other teams out there. We've gotten nuthin' as far as help from other teams so far -- at least that I can think of. I'm speaking especially to Auburn for their complete last second meltdown on Saturday. Sheesh!

I'm curious how UWs SOS is so much higher than Oregon's. They only played one currently ranked team, Arizona, and their OOC schedule was weak like ours (Boise St 7-5, Tulsa 4-8, Mich St. 4-8).

'Even if we (Dawgs) lose on Friday, we still should be in the CFP because... ummm... well... hmmm... well, because of equity and stuff. C'mon man!'

Yes... exactly. I actually meant to mention that in my post. If a team is going to fade in the season, it's pretty much always in the 2nd half of the schedule. Teams get ground down, injuries start to kick in, and they're often just exhausted. Not only is Oregon not fading, they have been getting better and more focused with each passing week.

Great comments and breakdown of that terrible run play that Oregon called for Nix against UW last year. You have relieved my fears a bit regarding Bo running a little more. Plus, when I combine that with Bo's exceptional QB mental processing speed, I feel even better about it.

I kind of hate this idea, but I also think I love it. I hate it because I fear the greater chance of injury. But then I think back to the last two games of the 2020 season when Mario finally freed Justin, to be Justin... and he ran all over Utah & Wisconsin. We potentially have three games left. So, to your comment, I'm afraid that I agree... Let Bo run when the opportunity is there.

While I have 'only' been going to Duck games since 1973, in my humble opinion, you are 100% spot on with your above comment. We've had some great teams along the way, but I don't remember seeing a team with the focus and consistency that this team has displayed over these last 6 games. Just 3 more games with this kind of focus to go.

Oh good Lord, NO. Oh please, oh please, NO. I am now going to go directly to my happy place and put any possible thoughts of this happening out of my head.
