Desert Duck

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.

First of all, they're Beaver fans... so, in other words, they're dumb. Second of all, as we all know, nobody has got any coach for life anymore. But, since they are Beaver fans, which means that they're dumb, they may have actually believed the tripe that they spewed.

When did Smith say this? A month ago, two months ago? I would really like to see the link to him saying this, and know what date it was. Because, let's face it, one month in college football today is a long time, especially with all that has been changing in the Pac-12. But I don't understand why you are suggesting that he lied. Perhaps people just can't handle the truth which is that every coach in the land who has an agent, has an agent who is listening to all inquiries from colleges looking to hire a head coach. The fact that this appears to be news to anybody, is a bit bizarre to me. Comparing Smith's honest comment to that of Slick Willy or Mario, is unreasonable, inaccurate, and incongruent.

I really feel for the kid, and especially the team. But right now, I feel like the odds of us making a field goal are just slightly higher than my odds at a craps table in Vegas. But I'm still hopeful that whatever switch needs to get flipped in Cam's head, happens by Friday.

From afar, it absolutely looks like it could be ribs... and as most know, rib injuries suck, particularly if you're a QB playing at the FBS level. But something definitely gave in on that guy during the Oregon game.

Let's just hope the committee see them right now as a top-4 team.

Georgia Tech up 7-0 with 9:40 to go in the 1st. I just had to post that before Georgia goes on to blow them out something like 47 to 14.

After looking at their last 8 games, the Huskies are so ripe for a good, old fashioned, beat-down. Over their last 8 games: - They haven't beaten anyone by more than 10 points - Their average margin of victory has been 6 points. - And that includes teams such as mighty ASU & Stanford. We really have a great opportunity to open a good ol' fashioned can of whoop as on these guys.

After watching them play today, and last week, we should be able to dismantle them in Vegas.

We're gonna take these dogs apart on Friday night.

With 0:38 left, Penix is 18/32, 204 yards, and only 2 TDs, 1 Int. 0 yards rushing. Dear Lord... please, oh please give us the Huskies this Friday night.

Absolutely, Charles. I was already thinking the same thing. And now that Auburn totally sucked it beyond belief, it's shaping up nicely for us to get reamed again like we did in 2001. Plus, even the freaking Huskies are doing all they can to lose to the Cougars and make it even more unlikely for us to get in.

So you agree with Solar that Daniels numbers this week are better than Bo's? At best, I'd say it's a push. Ps. Me previously calling A&M soft was not accurate. As I looked at their 5 losses, 4 of those were to current Top-20 teams.

Freaking Auburn. No wonder Bo got out of that place. 4th & 31. 30 seconds left. TD Bama. Oregon is literally getting help from nobody.

Yes... yes is my answer 😉

I'm struggling to see how Daniel's stats, in a win at home against an average-at-best, and unranked A&M squad, are more impressive than Bo's against the #16 ranked team in the nation. Daniels - Against a soft A&M team was: - Passing: 16/24 - 66% - 235 yards - 4 TDs - Rushing: 11 carries - 121 yards - 0 TDs - Total Yards: 356 Bo - Against a very tough OSU team was: - Passing: 33/40 - 83% - 367 yards - 2 TDs. - Rushing: 6 carries - 31 yards - 1 TD - Total Yards: 398 By comparison between their last game played, maybe you can help me see what I'm missing. I'd say that if we'd like to look at Bo's numbers on the road against, against an unranked opponent, lets look last week at ASU and Bo's first 30 minutes of play. Daniel's is a stud... no doubt about it. And he also has 3 losses to go with his stats. And not a single win against a team that was ranked in the Top 20 when they played them. Plus, in most games we played, after Bo led us to huge leads early, he often sat out most of the fourth quarter, and in some cases, all of the fourth quarter. In other words, Daniels has had a ton more minutes of PT than Bo.
